Medical Xpress / Preclinical study successfully reverses loss of blood flow to brain, an early sign of Alzheimer's disease
Supriya Chakraborty might have been studying insects in a lab had it not been for an immunology college instructor in India who taught him about the superheroes inside him—immune cells that wage a battle against bacteria, ...
Phys.org / Did trees in the Dolomites anticipate a solar eclipse? Not quite, say researchers
Around 14 hours before a partial solar eclipse passed over the Dolomites in Northern Italy, a group of spruce trees showed a sudden, synchronized increase in electrical activity. Previous research by Alessandro Chiolerio ...
Phys.org / Concert formats measurably change audience experience, classical music study finds
Orchestras and festival organizers continually develop and experiment with new concert formats for classical music. But do these formats actually have an impact on audiences? A research team led by the Max Planck Institute ...
Medical Xpress / AI model reads brain MRIs in seconds, hitting up to 97.5% accuracy
An AI-powered model developed at the University of Michigan can read a brain MRI and diagnose a person in seconds, a study suggests. The model detected neurological conditions with up to 97.5% accuracy and predicted how urgently ...
Phys.org / Turning nitrate pollution into green fuel: A 3D COF enables highly efficient ammonia electrosynthesis
Ammonia (NH3) is essential for fertilizers and emerging carbon-free energy technologies, yet its conventional production via the Haber-Bosch process is energy-intensive and CO2-emitting. Researchers from Tohoku University ...
Medical Xpress / 'Sticky coat' boosts triple negative breast cancer's ability to metastasize
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a strategy that triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells use to boost their ability to metastasize, or spread to other organs. Metastasis is the leading cause of ...
Phys.org / Engineering heat-tolerant, high-yield rice for a warming planet
Rising day and night temperatures are threatening rice, wheat, and maize production by disrupting plant growth, grain filling, and grain quality, putting global food security at risk. Precision breeding and genome editing ...
Phys.org / Smartwatch study shows stadium atmosphere spikes heart rate and stress levels
Fans of DSC Arminia Bielefeld experience matchday excitement far more intensely in the stadium than in front of the television when watching football (soccer). A study from Bielefeld University demonstrates clear differences ...
Phys.org / NASA confirms first flight to ISS since medical evacuation
Four astronauts will blast off to re-staff the International Space Station (ISS) next week, NASA said Friday, after an emergency medical evacuation of the previous crew.
Phys.org / The dirty afterlife of a dead satellite
Sometimes we humans get ahead of ourselves. We embark on grand engineering experiments without really understanding what the long-term implications of such projects are. Climate change itself is a perfect example of that—no ...
Phys.org / A dinosaur with spikes exhibiting unprecedented properties discovered in China
Documented for 200 years, the Iguanodontia group is expanding with the discovery of a brand-new species, the first known to bear spikes with properties never before observed in dinosaurs. Scientists from the CNRS1 and their ...
Medical Xpress / RNA therapeutics shrink metastasized lung tumors in mouse study
A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and other therapies directly to tumors, killing cancer cells without generating an immune response or ...
