Phys.org / Green tram tracks cut heat and beautify cities: Why isn't Australia doing it?
Cities are hotter than the surrounding countryside. Paved surfaces such as asphalt and concrete trap heat and release it at night. But as climate change worsens, this is becoming a real risk for residents.
Medical Xpress / PET biomarker outperforms established risk score in predicting survival for large B-cell lymphoma patients
Metabolic tumor volume—a biomarker derived from PET imaging—can more accurately predict progression-free survival for large B-cell lymphoma patients than the widely used International Prognostic Index. By identifying patients ...
Phys.org / New AI method captures long-range atomic interactions in complex molecules
Researchers from Google DeepMind in Berlin, BIFOLD, and the Technical University of Berlin have introduced a new machine learning method—Euclidean Fast Attention (EFA)—that enables global atomic interactions in chemical systems ...
Medical Xpress / Smart laser dimmer cuts neural crosstalk in brain-circuit imaging and control
A cross-disciplinary team led by Prof. Qu Jianan from the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and Prof. Julie L. Semmelhack from the Division of Life Science at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ...
Medical Xpress / How a free medical telesimulation platform is saving children's lives
A new study on sepsis training in Ghana builds on prior research showing the impact of Annenberg Hotkeys, a free platform developed in 2020. It is being used in other medical settings—and its co-creator sees potential in ...
Phys.org / What makes Mars' magnetotail flap? Two spacecraft point to magnetic reconnection
The sun continuously blasts charged, magnetic field-carrying particles, or plasma, in all directions. This solar wind interacts with the magnetic fields and atmospheres of several of our solar system's planets and other bodies, ...
Phys.org / Hawaiian green sea turtles emerge as reef defenders against invasive algae
An invasive algae already well-established in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands is raising concern among researchers as it threatens to spread into the main Hawaiian Islands. Scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa ...
Phys.org / New device aims to protect the Earth from Martian microbes
The possibility of life on other planets is one of the biggest mysteries in science. But what would happen if we actually found it? Our scientists are preparing for this possibility by helping to develop a new system that ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular keyhole sheds light on pain and epilepsy
Researchers at VIB, VUB, and KU Leuven have identified a tiny binding site, a molecular "keyhole," in the TRPM3 ion channel, a crucial sensor in pain signaling. TRPM3 is also linked to rare neurodevelopmental disorders and ...
Medical Xpress / Extra chromosomes may help tumor cells move and engulf neighbors, study suggests
Researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine have discovered that if animal cells gain an extra set of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy, they activate a stress signaling pathway that causes them to become ...
Phys.org / Global push for reuse stalls as fragmented policies hold back progress of tackling plastic pollution
Reuse systems, as a model to reduce plastic pollution, are beginning to emerge across the world but remain constrained by fragmented policies, weak financial incentives, and gaps in infrastructure, according to a trio of ...
Phys.org / New plastic film covered in thousands of tiny pillars can tear apart viruses on contact
Think of how many surfaces you touch every day, from your kitchen bench to the handrail on the bus or train, your work desk and your phone screen.
