Phys.org / Inverse-designed 2D magnonic crystals widen spin-wave band gaps
Spin waves (SWs), or magnons, are collective excitations of magnetization in magnetic materials arising from electron spins. They have attracted considerable attention as information carriers and have shown promise in logic ...
Medical Xpress / Building immunity: Tissue-resident immune cells defend human lungs from viral, bacterial, and fungal infections
New research led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and the University of Liverpool (UOL) provides the first comprehensive look at how a hidden immune cell army defends the vast, vulnerable tissue of ...
Medical Xpress / Novel hydrogel offers a smarter approach to wound healing
Any minor cut or scrape sets the body's natural healing process in motion. However, deep wounds are far more vulnerable to bacterial infection and the accumulation of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), ...
Dialog / AI-designed SARS-CoV-2 variants escape prevalent antibodies
While headlines warn that AI could unleash future biological threats, the technology also offers our best defense: a way to anticipate viral evolution and stress-test treatments. Rather than waiting for SARS-CoV-2 to mutate ...
Phys.org / International team evaluates anoxic marine basins as potential sites for carbon sequestration
Could taking plant biomass and burying it in the deep, anoxic parts of the ocean be a workable large-scale strategy for carbon sequestration? The concept has intrigued scientists for years, and now a recent international ...
Medical Xpress / Trial shows importance of integrated early-life interventions to improve growth in babies born too small
A randomized clinical trial conducted in India by Indian and Norwegian researchers demonstrates that an integrated intervention package improves growth and neurodevelopment in babies born small for gestational age (SGA). ...
Phys.org / Children who miss preschool more likely to start school behind, study finds
Children who attend preschool before starting school are significantly more likely to arrive ready to learn, according to a major Curtin University study of more than 123,000 Western Australian children.
Medical Xpress / Targeted school closures can improve pandemic response
New research led by UMC Utrecht shows that school closures during a pandemic outbreak are most effective when carefully targeted. The study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates that the right strategy depends ...
Tech Xplore / Waste-based geopolymer mortar offers greener, fire‑resistant alternative to conventional concrete
Concrete ranks second among the most widely used materials on the planet and is regarded as highly versatile for climate-resistant infrastructure. However, the main ingredient of concrete is Portland cement, which is made ...
Medical Xpress / How our body's natural recycling system could help reduce inflammation
Researchers at VIB and KU Leuven, together with international collaborators, have discovered that blocking autophagy—the body's natural recycling system for worn-out cell components—in specialized blood vessels can reduce ...
Tech Xplore / Recycling fossil fuel infrastructure could save trillions in societal costs
Moving away from oil and gas and toward solar, wind and hydropower: that is the energy transition. To stop global warming, we must shift our energy infrastructure toward renewable sources in the coming years. The large-scale ...
Phys.org / Three new kings uncovered, and a new understanding of the Assyrian King List
For approximately a century, researchers studying the Assyrian Empire's history have relied on the Assyrian King List (AKL) as the definitive record of Assyrian monarchs and their chronology, especially for later periods ...
