By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions toward cleaner and more efficient hydrogen peroxide production.
Medical Xpress / Whole-genome sequencing may optimize PARP inhibitor use for cancer patients
A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine ...
Phys.org / Surprise discovery reveals silica's hidden potential in flat optics
An unexpected discovery in a Harvard lab has led to a breakthrough insight into choosing an unconventional material, silica, to make optical metasurfaces—ultra-thin, flat structures that control light at the nanoscale and ...
Medical Xpress / Eye gel injection restores vision in patients with rare low-pressure condition, finds study
A new study demonstrates the effectiveness of a widely-used eye injection to manage the previously untreatable rare condition, hypotony, in a project by clinical researchers at UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital.
Tech Xplore / Are we giving AI a pulse through language?
Think, know, understand, remember. These are just a few of the mental verbs we use every day to describe what happens in a person's mind. But when using these same words to talk about artificial intelligence, we can unintentionally ...
Medical Xpress / New model improves prediction of prostate cancer death risk
A new long-term prediction tool estimates the risk of dying from prostate cancer, offering a more accurate way to interpret prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results compared to existing models. The tool, tested on over ...
Phys.org / Major gaps in global satellite maps of forests raise policy concerns
For decades, global efforts to combat climate change and protect biodiversity have relied on a high-tech promise: that satellite-derived maps can tell us exactly where the world's forests are.
Medical Xpress / Inside the battle for the future of addiction medicine
Elyse Stevens had a reputation for taking on complex medical cases. People who'd been battling addiction for decades. Chronic pain patients on high doses of opioids. Sex workers and people living on the street.
Phys.org / Genomic study uncovers button mushroom's evolutionary and domestication history
A large-scale population genomic study has shed new light on the evolutionary and domestication history of the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), one of the most widely cultivated edible fungi in the world.
Medical Xpress / Risk of death after surgery is significantly higher for residents of low-income neighborhoods, study reveals
New research from St. Michael's hospital found patients from the lowest-income areas in Ontario had a 43% higher chance of dying within 30 days of surgery compared to those from the highest-income areas in the province.
Tech Xplore / Novel OLED design doubles screen brightness while preserving flat display structure
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are widely used in smartphones and TVs thanks to their excellent color reproduction and thin, flexible planar structure. However, internal light loss has limited further improvements ...
