Phys.org / Artemis II's moonbound toilet is working again to astronauts' relief after overnight fix
NASA's moonbound astronauts have reason to celebrate, and not just because their launch went so well. Their toilet is now working.
Medical Xpress / Setting standards of care for brain injuries in first responders
Management of sports-related concussions has come a long way in the past 25 years: Once considered a minor problem involving minimal time out of the game, a severe knock to the head is now assessed as a potential traumatic ...
Phys.org / Virus-inspired DNA needle could pave the way for better medicines
Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a microscopic DNA needle that can deliver molecules directly into cells—and, crucially, help make sure they remain active once they get there. That addresses a major problem ...
Medical Xpress / Examining evolving trends in oral cavity cancer among younger adults
April marks Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, a national campaign encouraging early detection and raising awareness of cancers affecting the mouth, throat, and related structures. This crucial message about early detection ...
Phys.org / Gemini South confirms long-suspected link between the composition of exoplanets and their host stars
Astronomers have discovered that a giant planet, WASP-189b, echoes the composition of its host star, providing the first direct evidence of a foundational concept in astrobiology. This discovery was achieved through the first-ever ...
Phys.org / Why subduction zones act as the Earth's 'gold kitchens'
Earth's "gold kitchen" lies deep beneath the seafloor. Island arcs, whose volcanoes form above subduction zones where one oceanic plate sinks beneath another, are often particularly rich in gold. The reasons for this have ...
Phys.org / Artemis II to test new models that predict solar particle storms up to a day ahead
During the Artemis II mission launched Wednesday, NASA will test out a pair of new solar radiation forecasts, developed at University of Michigan Engineering, designed to protect astronauts venturing away from Earth. The ...
Phys.org / Platform for precise cellular control uses non-genetic DNA decoupled from genetic information
Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic blueprint, DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active field agent within cells. This research by a team led by Professor Jongmin Kim and Ph.D. candidate ...
Medical Xpress / How the human brain builds our sense of time
How does Jannik Sinner manage to hit the ball at exactly the right moment, with remarkable precision? And how do we, in everyday life, perceive the duration of events around us? The answer lies in how the brain constructs ...
Medical Xpress / Stress tested, testing stress: Novel organoid models how the adrenal gland develops
Sitting above each kidney are two small endocrine glands about the size of walnuts. These are the adrenal glands, responsible for producing hormones that help control some of the body's most critical functions. Among these ...
Phys.org / Dalí's 'sublime' amber medium may explain unusual aging in a museum masterpiece
As part of the FED-tWIN Face-to-Face project, a multidisciplinary team bringing together the European Centre of Archaeometry (University of Liège, ULiège), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (RMFAB), CNRS-Sorbonne ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers create first working model of specialized gut cells
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have for the first time created human intestinal organoids that include functional Paneth cells, a specialized cell type that is found in the inner lining of the intestine. ...
