China launched its crewed Shenzhou-23 spacecraft and eased it into a successful docking with a space station early Monday as part of Beijing's ambitions to send humans to the moon by 2030, state media said.
Medical Xpress / Using vagus nerve stimulation to improve treatment for movement rehabilitation
The vagus nerve connects the brain to major organs throughout the body and plays important roles in many bodily functions. For people with mobility issues participating in physical therapy, stimulating the vagus nerve with ...
Medical Xpress / WHO urges DRC's neighbors to act immediately on Ebola
The countries neighboring the Democratic Republic of Congo are at high risk from Ebola and should act immediately to counter the virus, the World Health Organization's head said on Monday.
Phys.org / Scientists discover thriving hard-substrate fauna in Oceania's deep sea
In the crushing darkness of the hadal zone—deep ocean trenches plunging 6,000 m to nearly 11,000 m—scientists have uncovered a hidden community. A study published in Science on May 14 reports the discovery of a protist-dominated ...
Phys.org / Stressed crystal creates nanoscale patterns on chip materials at room temperature
A new chip-making technique exploits a material's crystal structure to create nanoscale patterns at room temperature directly onto hard materials used in devices, including silica. The method could make it easier to pattern ...
Medical Xpress / Repetitive TMS effective, safe for poststroke neurogenic overactive bladder
Low-frequency contralesional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is effective and safe for poststroke neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB), according to a study published in Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair.
Phys.org / Tritium-infused graphene could sharpen the hunt for neutrino mass
While neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, they remain among the least understood. One of the biggest puzzles is their mass: although experiments have shown that neutrinos must have some mass, ...
Medical Xpress / Doing puzzles and joining clubs could help you age well: New research
Growing old is a fact of life. But thanks to improved health care and innovative technology, more of us are living longer and healthier lives.
Phys.org / Key switch controlling soil fungi symbiosis could solve a longstanding agricultural problem
Over the course of evolution, plants have developed an elegant strategy to counteract a lack of phosphate in the soil—they form symbiotic relationships with soil fungi. These mycorrhizal fungi efficiently supply their plant ...
Phys.org / Nickelate reveals nodeless gap, providing key clue to high-temperature superconductivity
The mechanism of high-temperature (TC) superconductivity is a key challenge in condensed matter physics. Recently, Chinese scientists made significant progress in the study of high-TC nickelate superconductors.
Phys.org / Expedition to Hess Rise in the Northwest Pacific begins
Located in the middle of the North Pacific, between Japan and Canada, lies one of the world's largest oceanic plateaus, the so-called Hess Rise. The plateau is roughly T-shaped and extends over a length of about 1,000 kilometers. ...
Medical Xpress / How the gut rewires the brain to drive cravings for essential nutrients
Eating is not only about getting enough calories. Animals also need to choose the right nutrients. When the body lacks protein, it must seek essential amino acids—the protein building blocks that cannot be made internally ...
