Phys.org / Protein-boosted rice could tackle hidden hunger and cut emissions, review argues
The latest statistics show that at least 14.77 million people around the globe suffer from protein-energy malnutrition. To revitalize traditional staples, scientists propose biofortifying cereals, as replacing just 5% of ...
Science X / 'Hybrid' immune cells can speed bone fracture healing by unlocking dual repair signals
Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have created new "hybrid" immune cells with the potential to help new bone form after a break by simultaneously promoting blood vessel ...
Phys.org / New approach to detect ultra-rare part-per-sextillion isotopes could also sharpen dark matter searches
The detection and study of isotopes, atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, could expand the scope of physics research and enable new scientific discoveries. So far, rare isotopes have been primarily ...
Medical Xpress / Bacteriophages: Meet the viruses that hunt superbugs
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. These microscopic predators are found everywhere, from soil and water to food and the human gut. Because they attack only specific bacteria, researchers ...
Science X / Your dreams are doing far more than replaying your day, and this study shows why
Why do dreams sometimes feel vivid and immersive, while at other times they seem fragmented or difficult to interpret? A new study conducted by researchers at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca provides new insights ...
Phys.org / 'Aquila Booster' challenges theoretical limits of particle acceleration in pulsar wind nebulae
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind nebula powered by PSR J1849-0001 in the constellation Aquila, marking the discovery of a new PeVatron ...
Medical Xpress / Allergic rhinitis could lead to hearing impairment in children, teens
Allergic rhinitis (AR) could lead to hearing impairment in children/adolescents, according to a study published online April 9 in Frontiers in Pediatrics.
Medical Xpress / Placental insufficiency during pregnancy is associated with memory alterations years after childbirth
The vascular imbalance that occurs in some pregnancies may leave a lasting imprint beyond childbirth. A study led by the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau), published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, ...
Tech Xplore / No batteries, just body heat: Demonstrating the potential of battery-free sensing
As devices for wireless sensing systems become smaller and more complex, finding suitable power sources for them is becoming increasingly difficult. However, advances in low-power sensing technology may allow such systems ...
Phys.org / How deceptive content reached millions of voters during the 2020 US elections
Over the past decades, the diffusion of fake news and other deceptive content on social media platforms has become a heated topic of debate. Some past studies have explored the broad impact of online misinformation, while ...
Medical Xpress / Plant-based eating may reduce inflammation
Consuming a plant-based diet may help lower levels of a key marker of inflammation in the body, according to analysis of clinical trials led by University of Warwick researchers. The study, published in Nutrition, Metabolism ...
Phys.org / Antarctica's ice shelves are vulnerable to melting from below—knowing how far ocean heat reaches is crucial
A rare dataset collected by instruments at the point where Antarctica's largest ice shelf begins to float reveals ocean processes that drive melting at this critical part of the continent.
