Phys.org / How invading cancer cells grip and rip their way into new tissues
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that cancer cells do not simply push through surrounding tissues to spread, but instead actively grip onto protective tissue barriers and pull them ...
Phys.org / Giving X-ray vision a sense of direction
Whether in tooth enamel or in nanomaterials made of silicon, the orientation of tiny internal structures often determines the properties of a material. A new X-ray method can even make this nano-order visible when the structures ...
Tech Xplore / Smart AI gives electric vehicle batteries 23% longer life—without increasing the charging time
Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast ...
Tech Xplore / JUSTIFI tool could unlock value in energy productivity projects
Energy productivity—the measure of how much economic value is generated for every unit of energy used—can be underestimated when multiple benefits are overlooked.
Medical Xpress / Popular weight loss and anti-inflammatory drugs may help prevent common heart rhythm disorder
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have identified how two different classes of medication—the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide and the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine—act on the heart to prevent ...
Phys.org / How we feel political emotions in our bodies—and why this matters for democracy
Researchers have found our emotions toward politics not only play on our minds, but shape how our bodies respond to political experiences, even driving political participation higher. The new study, published in the Proceedings ...
Medical Xpress / Centuries-old medicine benefits heart failure patients, studies show
A low dose of digoxin ensures that people with heart failure are hospitalized and die less frequently. This emerges from three studies led by UMCG cardiologists Dirk Jan van Veldhuisen, Kevin Damman, and Peter van der Meer. ...
Tech Xplore / Open-source 'digital twin' enables end-to-end testing of applications over wireless
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed an open-source "digital twin" of a wireless network, giving graduate students, startups and other innovators a free, easy-to-use way to test new technologies ...
Medical Xpress / Malaria's hidden toll on children: Why survivors may struggle in school years later
A disease transmitted by the bite of a tiny insect—one that once devastated entire armies—remains among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2024 alone, there were 282 million cases of malaria reported and 610,000 deaths ...
Medical Xpress / For hantavirus, experts aim to inform without igniting COVID panic
Thrust back into the front line by a deadly hantavirus outbreak, infectious disease experts have to balance informing the public about its potential risks without provoking undue fear of a COVID-scale pandemic.
Medical Xpress / 'No indication' Andes strain of hantavirus has mutated: EU agency
The European Union's health agency ECDC said Wednesday there was nothing to suggest that the Andes strain of hantavirus had mutated following a deadly outbreak of the illness on a cruise ship.
Tech Xplore / This tiny thermal barcode flips invisible heat like pixels—and opens a door to something far bigger
A Carnegie Mellon University research team has developed a pioneering technology that manipulates thermal radiation with the precision of pixels. The work, published in Science Advances, outlines a method for "digitizing ...
