A team of researchers at Rowan University has developed an injectable biomaterial that could significantly improve recovery outcomes following spinal cord injuries. The study, recently published in the journal Biomaterials, ...
Tech Xplore / Flexible zinc–ion batteries maintain stable voltage after bending with new hydrogel electrolyte
A research team led by Prof. Hu Linhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a highly durable hydrogel electrolyte for aqueous zinc–ion batteries (AZIBs) ...
Phys.org / Enhanced quantum computers and beyond: Exploring magnons with superconducting qubits
Devices taking advantage of the collective quantum behavior of spin excitations in magnetic materials—known as magnons—have the potential to improve quantum computing devices. However, using magnons in quantum devices ...
Medical Xpress / Parkinson's drug reduces symptoms in treatment-resistant depression, clinical trial finds
A drug used for Parkinson's disease has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms of difficult to treat depression, according to a study led by the University of Oxford.
Phys.org / Cool is cool wherever you are: Study finds cross-cultural agreement
From Chile to China, cultures vary greatly around the globe, but people in at least a dozen countries agree about what it means to be cool, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
Medical Xpress / Senescence uncovered: Scientists find worms can mimic mammalian cell aging process
Senescent cells, which are damaged and inflammatory, contribute significantly to aging. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging have found that worms can enter a senescent-like state, similar to that ...
Phys.org / Global study shows worldwide threat of antibiotic resistance in livestock waste
An international study by Michigan State University and partner researchers has uncovered a hidden danger lurking in animal farms around the world: Livestock manure is packed with antibiotic resistance genes that could threaten ...
Phys.org / Bacteria hijack tick cell defenses to spread disease, study shows
Washington State University researchers have discovered how the bacteria that cause anaplasmosis and Lyme disease hijack cellular processes in ticks to ensure their survival and spread to new hosts, including humans.
Dialog / Can sweets be addictive? First validated tool aims to measure the behavior
Why is it so hard to stop at just one cookie? For many people, sweet foods like chocolate, pastries, and candy aren't just a treat—they're a source of craving, guilt and emotional struggle. A newly published pilot study ...
Tech Xplore / Why human empathy still matters in the age of AI
A new international study finds that people place greater emotional value on empathy they believe comes from humans—even when the exact same response is generated by artificial intelligence.
Phys.org / Slowing RNA drug transport inside cells can boost effectiveness for genetic diseases
A recent study involving researchers from the University of Basel reveals that slowing down the intracellular transport of RNA-based drugs can significantly enhance their effectiveness. These promising therapeutics are currently ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery of key brain repair mechanism in vascular dementia reveals promising therapeutic target
A new study from UCLA Health has uncovered how inflammation in brain blood vessels exacerbates damage in vascular dementia and demonstrated that targeting this process with a repurposed drug can promote brain repair and functional ...
