Medical Xpress / New research challenges beliefs about 'safe' times to be in the sun
A QIMR Berghofer study has revealed that short periods outdoors during hours of low sunlight can cause skin damage and contribute to skin cancer risk.
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed battery electrolyte could let devices store power in almost any shape
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have developed a way to 3D-print an essential battery component in nearly any shape. Their innovation could free engineers from the constraints of standard rechargeable battery ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized disease-in-a-dish can improve a pancreatitis patient's therapeutic path
Around 3 million people worldwide struggle with chronic pancreatitis, a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed, scarred and painful. There is no cure for chronic pancreatitis, and it is difficult to alter the disease ...
Medical Xpress / Repurposed epilepsy drug could be used to boost vaccine protection among elderly
A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could be repurposed to significantly boost the response to vaccines in humans, helping protect those for whom the vaccine is less effective, such as older adults or immunocompromised ...
Phys.org / Human activity has not always harmed biodiversity—quite the opposite
For millennia, farming in Switzerland did not reduce plant diversity but helped increase it, University of Basel researchers have shown in a detailed reconstruction covering the past 7,000 years. Only recent decades paint ...
Phys.org / Quantum computer simulates hadronization, reproducing string breaking with 104 qubits
By remotely accessing an IBM quantum computer, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully simulated a key process in particle physics: hadronization. Although based on a simplified model ...
Phys.org / The little red galaxies that may be sending us neutrinos
Peering far into the distant, high-redshift universe, the James Webb telescope has discovered an abundance of small red galaxies known as the Little Red Dots. From their observations, astronomers believe that at least some ...
Phys.org / A severe El Niño could threaten something essential to half of humanity—rice
Forecasters expect the El Niño now underway in the tropical Pacific to strengthen into a strong or very strong climate driver later this year.
Phys.org / Arabian Sea sediments reveal summer and winter monsoons shifted differently after last ice age
High-resolution sediment analyses from the Arabian Sea reveal, for the first time, that summer and winter monsoons respond differently to global climate change. The study enhances understanding of past precipitation patterns ...
Medical Xpress / Adenotonsillectomy linked to increased odds of pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis
History of adenotonsillectomy is associated with increased odds of pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS), according to a study published online May 29 in Multiple Sclerosis Journal.
Phys.org / Rice grown on the moon? Air-to-fertilizer technology helps rice grow in lunar soil simulant
Securing sustainable food supplies is a key challenge for long-term human exploration and potential habitation of the moon. The moon's soil contains no organic material, and essential plant nitrogen sources like ammonia and ...
Tech Xplore / Data centers may emit 57% more CO₂ than expected in 2025, study finds
Data centers, whose expansion is being fueled dramatically by the artificial intelligence boom, have a far bigger carbon footprint than previously estimated, a study said Tuesday.
