Medical Xpress / Sleep apnea compromises far more than a good night's rest
Annual medical checkups typically cover the basics: diet, exercise and mental state. Surprisingly, many primary care providers fail to ask about one of the fundamental contributors to well-being: sleep.
Phys.org / Mathematical framework solves asteroid route planning exactly for first time
A new publication from Bielefeld University sets a benchmark in optimization research. Together with an international team, Professor Michael Römer from the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has developed a ...
Phys.org / Scientists unlock new way to engineer next-generation glass
Scientists have adapted a centuries-old principle of chemistry to fine-tune a new type of glass made from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)—metal atoms connected by organic molecules—that efficiently trap gases like CO₂ and ...
Phys.org / Rotated lithium niobate crystals unlock conductive interfaces in otherwise insulating material
An international research team involving the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) at Paderborn University has made significant progress in researching so-called quantum materials. Their extraordinary properties—electrical ...
Tech Xplore / Vanadium batteries could stabilize power grids and help prevent blackouts in Ecuador
The transition toward renewable energy is redefining the operation of power systems worldwide. However, this shift brings a growing technical challenge: the loss of grid stability. Unlike conventional power plants, renewable ...
Medical Xpress / Cell-by-cell analysis uncovers 345 risk genes across six neuropsychiatric disorders
The emergence of neuropsychiatric disorders, conditions that affect various brain functions and behaviors, is known to be driven by an intricate combination of factors. These can include both a genetic predisposition and ...
Phys.org / How trees in urban areas are key to cooling down a warmer world
Planting new forests may be a low-cost way to combat warming temperatures in urban areas, suggests a new study. In a large-scale field experiment, researchers planted 640 tree saplings across 20 parks in Dayton, Ohio, and ...
Medical Xpress / Poor mental health may shape care quality, confidence and unmet needs across 18 countries
People with self-reported poorer mental health also report worse quality of care and lower confidence in health care systems, according to a study published May 5 in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine by Margaret E. Kruk ...
Phys.org / Electric double layer unlocks molecular switch behind battery and hydrogen reactions
From smartphone charging to hydrogen production, the fundamental principles of energy technology have been revealed. Korean researchers have, for the first time, identified how molecular structures change within the ultra-small ...
Medical Xpress / Vitamin C and cancer: Was Nobel laureate Linus Pauling on to something?
Linus Pauling was one of the most brilliant scientists of the 20th century. He won two Nobel prizes and transformed our understanding of chemical bonds and the structure of proteins. Late in his career, though, he became ...
Medical Xpress / Lifestyle, not age, predicts smart home success for older adults
As the global population ages, smart homes are often touted as the ultimate solution for independent living. However, a new study published in JMIR Aging, suggests that technology developers and policymakers may be missing ...
Phys.org / From atoms to reactors, new modeling approach could sharpen catalyst design
In a recent article, researchers from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, emphasize the importance of multiscale modeling of catalysis in understanding and developing (electro)chemical processes. Modern computational tools ...
