Phys.org / Physicists turn to the universe's 'piano notes' to detect hidden particles
It's been said that a finely tuned ear knows the size and shape of a piano by merely listening to the instrument's notes. An international team of physicists has now devised an analogous approach to detect the universe's ...
Medical Xpress / Potential new therapeutic targets for preeclampsia discovered
Unusual behavior in the cells of mothers and babies with preeclampsia may provide new therapeutic targets for the condition, a new UCL-led study finds.
Tech Xplore / Tiny memory switches could shrink 5G and 6G radio-frequency chips
Mobile phones today handle far more wireless signals and services than earlier generations. The same is true of the sophisticated equipment behind mobile networks, such as base stations, and emerging technologies such as ...
Phys.org / Fossilized wood reveals 300 million years of Earth's history
Many people are familiar with fossilized wood as a decorative item from a museum shop. However, the fact that it can preserve the geological history of entire regions spanning millions of years is a new discovery. A research ...
Medical Xpress / Giving antibodies 'eyes' may help target hidden KRAS mutations in cancer cells
Antibodies are like "guided missiles" that find and attack cancer cells, but cancer-causing mutations inside cells have remained a "blind spot" for treatment because antibodies cannot reach them. KAIST researchers have now ...
Phys.org / Study explores the hedging capability of cryptocurrencies in turbulent markets
The rapid growth of sustainable finance in recent years has fueled interest in green investment, ranging from green bonds and environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds to energy-efficient cryptocurrencies. While these ...
Tech Xplore / Get ready for mobile 'stores on wheels.' Research shows they can outperform traditional retail stores
As retailers increasingly embrace artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and autonomous vehicles, a new retail model is beginning to emerge: mobile stores that drive directly to customers instead of waiting for customers ...
Phys.org / Smarter, greener ways to protect fragile cultural heritage
Museums, libraries, archives and heritage organizations face a difficult problem: Many of the objects they preserve are made from materials that naturally deteriorate.
Phys.org / Io's volcanic output offers a 40‑day forecast of plasma density in Jupiter's magnetosphere
A careful statistical comparison of observations recorded by NASA's Juno mission and the Planetary Science Institute's Io Input Output observatory (IoIO) shows that IoIO observations reliably predict the density of Jupiter's ...
Medical Xpress / New mechanoresistant cancer cells show how they survive high stress environments
When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, faraway location, it first has to survive what most cells cannot: periodic high-force moments in the vessels and heart of up to 5,000 dynes per centimeter squared ...
Medical Xpress / Could this enzyme help remove 'zombie' cells from our tissues?
Our population is aging. The United Nations reports that by 2050, the number of people age 85 and older on our planet is set to triple. But a longer life span isn't the same as a longer health span (the number of years we ...
Phys.org / Combining AI protein design with laboratory evolution improves engineered enzymes
When scientists want to create a protein that can potentially treat disease, one approach is to begin with a different protein and evolve it in the lab, selecting over many generations for versions with a new, desired function.
