Medical Xpress / Defective HIV copies explain most persistent traces in blood following treatment, study finds
Antiretroviral drugs for HIV infection have enabled most people living with the virus to live long and healthy lives. However, a small portion of people experience detectable—and worrisome—traces of the virus that causes ...
Tech Xplore / A low-tech solution to the 6G problem—metacrystal panels offer cheap way to guide wireless signals around corners
Basements, tunnels, large buildings—a weak Wi-Fi or mobile signal in these hard-to-reach places is frustrating. The usual solution is to add more electronics like routers, repeaters and base stations. Yet, as we move towards ...
Phys.org / Achiral crystal reveals Raman optical activity through ferroaxial order
Raman optical activity, long thought to require chiral molecules or magnetic order, has been demonstrated in an achiral, nonmagnetic crystal by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo. The effect arises through ferroaxial ...
Phys.org / Ribosome tunnel interactions reveal how bacteria can pause protein production
How do bacteria regulate the production of their proteins? Researchers at the University of Hamburg, in collaboration with international partners, have now demonstrated how small protein building blocks, known as peptides, ...
Phys.org / 'Double-edged' nature of workplace resilience examined
From underdog stories to comeback victories, everyone loves a tale of perseverance. But a new study suggests that highlighting workplace resilience can sometimes leave observers feeling anxious instead of inspired.
Medical Xpress / Nature-inspired toothpaste developed for sensitive teeth
A new toothpaste for relieving tooth sensitivity has been developed by UCL researchers using a nature-inspired material that supports bone regeneration.
Medical Xpress / Smartphone unlock can measure heart rate, potentially bringing health monitoring to billions worldwide
Wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers have revolutionized the way we monitor our health. Worn around the clock, these devices quietly collect valuable data—from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to sleep ...
Phys.org / Violating the 3rd law of black hole mechanics in vacuum gravity
Black holes, regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, have been widely studied over the past decades, due to their unique and intriguing properties. Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts ...
Phys.org / Gleam-glum effect reveals emotional word cues in children as young as five
The words "tick-tock," "hiss" and "screech" are examples of onomatopoeia because they imitate the sounds they represent: the rhythmic ticking of a clock; an angry cat, or a slowly deflating bike tire; a high-pitched scream. ...
Phys.org / Mount Etna eruptions reveal carbon dioxide and water can trigger separate explosive paths
The plumbing systems of volcanoes are vast and complex. But they aren't consistent, even in the same volcano. A Cornell-led collaboration found very different mechanisms behind two historic eruptions of Mount Etna in Italy. ...
Phys.org / Understanding Earth's hidden east-west symmetry could improve climate models
Earth is divided into two halves: the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Both reflect equal amounts of sunlight (albedo) even though they have different landmasses and weather patterns, especially cloud distribution. Why ...
Phys.org / Support for rural women entrepreneurs linked to economic growth
Though rural women entrepreneurs make up only a small portion of the self-employed across the United States, new West Virginia University research shows they are crucial to overall economic success.
