Phys.org / Proceed with caution: Emerging marine-climate projects outpacing effective governance
Oceans are at the forefront of many new climate-related projects, but the speed that these projects are being developed and expanded is outpacing the ability to govern them effectively—and manage their potential impacts ...
Phys.org / Dialysis device that uses nanoelectrokinetic technology could be used as portable artificial kidney
A research team has developed a compact peritoneal dialysis device that can be utilized as a portable artificial kidney. This research was published on March 29 in the journal Journal of Nanobiotechnology.
Phys.org / How much microplastic is generated during mountain biking?
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have, for the first time, provided concrete figures on the abrasion of mountain bike tires in off-road conditions. Their findings, published in Science of The Total Environment contribute ...
Medical Xpress / Long-term data support aspherical lenslets as effective myopia control in kids
A five-year clinical study has revealed that spectacle lenses equipped with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) can significantly slow the progression of myopia and axial elongation in children. The findings are published in ...
Phys.org / 'Making memories' via social media is an increasingly 'crucial' part of live events
Eventgoers' live experiences are shaped by media technologies like social media, whether used in the moment or not, and memory and anticipation are increasingly part of live experiences themselves, research published in the ...
Phys.org / Solar cells made of moon dust could power future space exploration
The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, ...
Phys.org / On water recycling, Nevada leads other states, report finds
When it comes to recycling the most precious resource in the Colorado River Basin, Nevada leads six other states, a new report has confirmed.
Medical Xpress / Successful therapy confirmed for newborns with fatal metabolic disorder MoCD type A
The drug fosdenopterin/rcPMP considerably improves the chances of survival and developmental progress in infants with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD type A), a rare and life-threatening genetic condition causing an ...
Phys.org / Hierarchical cluster formation in the Milky Way's core caps birth of massive stars
An international research team led by Dr. Zhang Suinan from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered the unique mechanisms governing star formation in the Central Molecular Zone ...
Phys.org / Why not every saltwater inflow benefits the Baltic Sea equally
Eutrophication and oxygen depletion are well-known threats to the ecological balance of the Baltic Sea, which is increasingly under pressure due to climate change. In this context, large saltwater inflows from the North Sea ...
Phys.org / Error correction method reduces photon requirements for quantum computing
An invention from Twente improves the quality of light particles (photons) to such an extent that building quantum computers based on light becomes cheaper and more practical. The researchers published their research in the ...
Medical Xpress / Study helps explain how laughing gas could fight treatment-resistant depression
Although a plethora of medications and therapies now exist for major depression, roughly one in three diagnosed patients still suffer from treatment-resistant depression (TRD)—a form of the disorder that does not respond ...
