A vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus will be ready by the end of the year, the head of Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) said Thursday.
Tech Xplore / New magnesium alloy design improves stability and ion transport in solid-state batteries
The modern world runs on invisible energy. Hidden inside smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles, are batteries that quietly power everyday life. As society becomes increasingly dependent on portable and sustainable energy, ...
Medical Xpress / The nocebo effect: How prior experience and verbal suggestion rewire the brain to make pain worse
Researchers have a better understanding of the nocebo effect and the neuroscience behind it all. Opposite of the better-known placebo effect, where positive expectations trigger genuine pain relief, the nocebo effect is the ...
Phys.org / How farmers respond to climate-related risk
As climate change increases the frequency of drought, excessive rainfall, and other extreme weather events, farmers face growing uncertainty about crop production. Understanding how farmers perceive and respond to that uncertainty ...
Phys.org / Remote fieldwork and museum collections reveal hidden pit viper diversity in High Asia
