Tech Xplore / Robotically assembled building blocks could make construction more efficient and sustainable
Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures than some existing construction techniques, according to a new study by MIT researchers published in ...
Tech Xplore / Molecular interface tweak unlocks more reliable perovskite solar cells, challenging common assumption
Perovskite solar cells are a rapidly advancing photovoltaic technology that has seen a dramatic rise in power conversion efficiency in recent years. A key driver of this progress is the use of molecular charge-selective contacts—ultrathin ...
Phys.org / Blue carbon: Unearthing the ocean's own climate fix
It's a common misconception that rainforests are the lungs of Earth. Our oceans produce most of the oxygen we consume and are more effective at storing carbon.
Medical Xpress / New medical guidelines urge more fiber, less bathroom scrolling on your phone
On Wednesday, the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) released updated guidelines aimed at modern bathroom habits and dietary trends that could be making hemorrhoids and constipation worse.
Phys.org / Synchrotron safety monitoring sheds light on dark photons
A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has proposed using safety monitoring at synchrotron facilities to study the properties of dark photons, hypothetical particles proposed to explain dark matter. Calculations show ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 drugs have long-term benefit for heart health, review suggests
New research has shown that GLP‑1 weight-loss drugs deliver protection against heart attacks, strokes, and premature death over a sustained period of time. Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) analyzed data from ...
Phys.org / Overcoming the algorithmic gender bias in AI‑driven personal finance
Artificial intelligence is transforming our world and financial services are no exception. AI is reshaping the personal banking sector, but where does it currently stand on gender parity, transparency, and fairness?
Medical Xpress / Not all Alzheimer's leads to dementia: The mystery of cognitive resilience
Some brains resist Alzheimer's, even when the disease is already present. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have found that this likely depends on how specific brain cells, known as immature neurons, ...
Phys.org / Optical design unlocks direct Raman detection of ångström-scale ultrathin molecular layers at interfaces
Conventional spontaneous Raman spectroscopy of interfacial molecules typically requires plasmonic or electronic enhancement, limiting accessible systems. A nonlinear coherent Raman method now enables direct, high sensitivity ...
Medical Xpress / Koala vaccine offers clues to solving human health challenge
A vaccine first developed to protect koalas from a devastating disease is now offering rare insights that could help accelerate human vaccine development for one of the world's most common sexually transmitted infections.
Phys.org / Hold your nose and don't stop for a selfie: Why getting up close to a beached whale is a really bad idea
The beaches of Sydney's Royal National Park have been disrupted by a pungent odor. And its source is drawing in more than just seagulls.
Phys.org / Zinc–redox crosstalk: A new key to cellular protein quality control
Zinc is an essential trace element that controls myriad biological processes. The delicate balance of its concentration in the body is critical; both deficiency and excess are linked to severe pathological states such as ...
