Tech Xplore / Neutron diffraction unveils the 'relay' of hardening mechanisms in next-gen superalloys
As the aerospace sector pursues propulsion systems that are cleaner, quieter, and more efficient, materials used in turbine components face increasingly demanding thermal and mechanical environments. Ni-Co-based superalloys ...
Phys.org / 'Hectic' bushfires threaten rural towns in Australian heat wave
Bushfires destroyed houses and razed vast belts of forest in southeast Australia on Friday, firefighters said, as hot winds fanned "hectic" conditions in the tinder-dry countryside.
Medical Xpress / Breastfeeding may lower moms' later life depression/anxiety risks for up to 10 years after pregnancy

Phys.org / AI improves flood projections under climate change
When engineers and planners design roads, bridges and dams, they rely on hydrological models intended to protect infrastructure and communities from 50- and 100-year floods. But as climate change increases the frequency and ...
Phys.org / High-throughput platform enables aptamer discovery and kinetic profiling
Cell-surface proteins are critical therapeutic targets and are vital to cellular communication, signaling, and homeostasis. However, developing high-affinity probes such as aptamers against these targets is hindered by low ...
Phys.org / Hotter weather thickens the blood of wild mammals: We traced this in African striped mice
Large wild mammals—from elephants to antelopes—are already struggling to cope with global warming. Now new research shows that even the small creatures adapted to harsh, arid landscapes may be reaching their limits.
Medical Xpress / Elective C-sections linked to lower childhood cortisol
For years, researchers have documented health differences between babies born vaginally versus by cesarean section—work that revealed the importance of exposure to the vaginal microbiome during birth. But a new Dartmouth-led ...

Two robots the size of schoolchildren stepped into the ring at BattleBots Arena.
Phys.org / Electron beams guide atomic-scale structural transformations in crystals
A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory has achieved precise control and real-time observation of atomic-scale structural ...
Medical Xpress / Odds of infant mortality higher among US-born than non-US-born individuals
U.S.-born individuals have higher odds of infant mortality than non-U.S.-born individuals, according to a study published online Jan. 6 in JAMA Network Open.
Medical Xpress / Hot flash drug shows added anti-cancer effect in breast cancer treatment
A drug mimicking the hormone progesterone has anti-cancer activity when used together with conventional anti-estrogen treatment for women with breast cancer, a new Cambridge-led trial has found.
