Phys.org / New nanoparticles remove melanoma tumors in mice with low-power near-infrared laser
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser. After the systemically administered nanoparticles ...
Phys.org / Skull fragments expand the frontiers of Iberian severed head ritual
The study of skull fragments from the Olèrdola (Olèrdola, Barcelona) and Molí d'Espígol (Tornabous, Lleida) sites has provided new evidence that would allow the ritual of "severed heads" from the northeast of the Iberian ...
Medical Xpress / Seven-day buprenorphine injection matches daily tablets for ED opioid treatment
More than 15 years ago, Yale's Gail D'Onofrio started studying the effectiveness of sublingual (under-the-tongue) buprenorphine for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) in the emergency department. At the time, buprenorphine ...
Phys.org / Demographic forms can undermine a sense of belonging in Latino Americans
The way Latino Americans' identity is represented on demographic forms can undermine their fundamental sense of belonging in the U.S., says new research. Across four experiments that surveyed more than 1,300 Latino participants ...
Phys.org / By The Numbers: A look at European rocket Ariane 64's maiden launch
Europe's Ariane 6 rocket is scheduled to make a powerful debut with a new equipment configuration Thursday, flying with four boosters to carry Amazon's internet satellites.
Phys.org / From fins to fingers: How nature 'redeployed' ancient genes to shape limbs
How did the complexity of many organisms living today evolve from the simpler body plans of their ancestors? This is a central question in biology. Take our hands, for example: Every time we type a message on our mobile phone, ...
Medical Xpress / Ketamine may fight chronic fatigue, study suggests
Ketamine, a decades-old anesthetic and fast-acting treatment for severe depression, may also offer some people rapid relief from chronic fatigue, according to a small proof-of-concept study led by researchers at Rutgers Health ...
Medical Xpress / Early cognitive stimulation protects brain function in Alzheimer's disease, study suggests
A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in Alzheimer's disease, even ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic risk may rival obesity as a key driver of endometrial cancer
A major new study has found genetics play a powerful and independent role in endometrial cancer risk—challenging the long-held belief that obesity is the primary driver. The findings could lead to better screening of the ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrafast nanolasers mimic how the brain imagines unseen parts of the world
A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world. The study, ...
Phys.org / Fear or dread? How intensity of emotion may shape climate policy support
New research has found that we are more likely to back policies aimed at tackling climate change when we feel fearful, but feelings of dread make us less likely to support such policies.
Tech Xplore / Next-generation batteries could redefine the future of energy storage
Drawing on an extensive survey of emerging battery chemistries and design innovations, researchers at the University of Sharjah are pointing to transformative technologies poised to meet the escalating energy demands of an ...
