Medical Xpress / Naturally occurring molecule can stop Alzheimer's-linked fibrils from forming
Protein droplets serve important biological functions within cells, but in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, these liquid-like droplets can form solid-like clumps known as fibrils. This disrupts the droplets' normal ...
Tech Xplore / This simple solar cell manufacturing tweak could solve perovskites' biggest weakness
A technique that improves the performance and stability of next-generation solar cells—without adding any chemicals or coatings—has been demonstrated by researchers from Korea University and the University of Surrey.
Phys.org / Cracking a long-standing problem in high-entropy alloy nanoparticle synthesis
Composed of five or more elements in nearly equal amounts, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising catalysts due to their compositionally complex surfaces that can accelerate chemical reactions. Until now, scientists ...
Phys.org / Chalk-stream salmon could become an official sub-species
Chalk-stream salmon should be officially classified as a sub-species, new research suggests. Scientists from the University of Exeter and INRAe (France) carried out detailed genetic testing of salmon from 42 rivers in England, ...
Phys.org / Why a bizarre Brazil 'pterosaur' fossil is now being reclassified as a fish
Georges Cuvier, the 19th-century French anatomist who first recognized pterodactyls as flying reptiles, wrote that "of all the beings whose ancient existence has been revealed to us, [they are] the most extraordinary."
Tech Xplore / AI model predicts human attention in 360-degree videos using both sound and vision
Virtual reality (VR) experiences and 360-degree videos are transforming viewers from passive observers into active participants immersed within a scene. Yet this shift raises an important question: Where do people direct ...
Medical Xpress / A blueprint for holistic cardiovascular implantable electronic device lead management and lifelong patient safety
New evidence on cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) lead management and the burgeoning development of new CIED technologies have contributed to the field's rapid evolution in the last decade. The new "2026 ...
Medical Xpress / Physicists refute famous 2025 study claiming daylight saving time poses severe health risks
In 2025, Lara Weed and Jamie M. Zeitzer of Stanford University published an article linking the practice of seasonal time changes (Daylight Saving Time) to negative health outcomes, ranging from acute symptoms (heart attacks ...
Phys.org / Ant supergene reveals surprising twist in evolution of social behavior
In the spring, ants are once again hard at work. Beyond their everyday presence, ants are also key model organisms in cutting-edge evolutionary genetics research, helping scientists understand how social behavior and cooperation ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Apollo astronaut Schmitt talks about getting back to the moon and life in the universe
It was 1972 and Apollo astronauts Harrison "Jack" Schmitt and Eugene Cernan had just stepped onto the moon's surface to begin collecting rock and soil samples.
Phys.org / AI maps mammals' molecular 'dark matter' by predicting billions of missing metabolites
Invisible "dark matter"—what cosmologists call the mysterious glue that holds everything together—is estimated to make up more than a quarter of the universe. In chemistry, dark matter refers to the thousands of small molecules ...
Phys.org / Quantum gas resists heating under periodic kicks, revealing many-body localization mechanism
A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a striking quantum phenomenon: a periodically driven gas of ultracold atoms that simply refuses to heat ...
