Phys.org / Some boreal forest species fail to recover even 100 years after clearcutting
Boreal forests are being clear-cut faster than some of their wildlife and plant species can recover, with a few failing to return even 100 years after harvesting, according to University of Alberta-led research.
Phys.org / Cyclic sealing and drainage on the Gofar Oceanic Transform Fault revealed
Oceanic transform faults are strike-slip boundaries—faults that move horizontally rather than up and down and connect offset mid-ocean ridge segments. They have long been regarded as simple "conservative" plate boundaries ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer cell 'degraders' target two proteins at once to defeat treatment resistance
Researchers from two Technion faculties have jointly developed a new compound and demonstrated its effectiveness against aggressive tumor cells.
Tech Xplore / Engineering the next generation of semiconductor materials, one layer at a time
Silicon is an essential element for creating semiconductors, the building blocks of all modern computing technologies. However, as devices continue to shrink, engineers are approaching the limits of what silicon can achieve.
Medical Xpress / Emerging mRNA vaccine strategies target cancer and pathogenic viruses in potent new ways
The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research reveals that a crucial T-cell population can be reprogrammed in animal models by reimagining the science ...
Medical Xpress / Home-based exercise feasible for lymphoma survivors entering cardio-oncology rehab
Telehealth-supported home-based exercise (HBE) achieves comparable short-term improvements to supervised exercise among lymphoma survivors entering cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE), according to a study published in ...
Medical Xpress / Routine eye exams reveal stage 2 hypertension in half of diabetes patients
Diabetes opens people to other noncommunicable diseases like obesity, retinopathy and cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and hypertension. A recent study by researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine ...
Phys.org / Lipids and DNA nanostructures independently control artificial cell mechanics
What if the mechanical properties of a cell could be programmed like the components of a machine? Researchers at the University of Tokyo have discovered that two fundamental modes of cellular deformation—stretching and bending—can ...
Phys.org / Why nanoscale droplets don't coalesce and microscale droplets do
Olive oil and water do not naturally mix. Water molecules are polar, having a net electric dipole moment due to the bend angle of about 104.5° between the two oxygen-hydrogen bonds. Olive oil is nonpolar due to its long hydrocarbon ...
Phys.org / School performance linked to youth criminal justice
Students whose performance at school declines relative to their peers are at a higher risk of contact with the criminal justice system, a new study by King's College London has found.
Phys.org / Structural blueprint for RNA therapeutics reveals why some siRNA molecules work better than others
RNA interference is a natural mechanism for living cells to control whether specific genes are being used. Crowned with the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the discovery of RNA interference has since been harnessed ...
Phys.org / Table sugar could hold a cheaper, quicker key to making vital drugs
Pioneering research has developed a new way of creating carbohydrate-based medicines that could ultimately replace costly drugs for common health conditions, using two cheap basic ingredients—table sugar and vinegar.
