Phys.org / Single experiment can measure enzymatic kinetics for over 200,000 possible substrates
A pharmaceutical scientist at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a method that can measure the kinetic efficiency of an enzyme against more than 200,000 potential peptide substrates in a single experiment.
Tech Xplore / Observing microscopic dislocations form in real-time during 3D metal printing
Researchers used Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D printing. The findings could pave the way for advanced manufacturing of components for aerospace, ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers analyze future European energy demand for battery cell production
Europe accounts for about 25% of global electric vehicle sales. Despite the high demand, only around 6.8% of the energy required for cell production is currently supplied in Europe. Most of the energy is imported in the form ...
Medical Xpress / Enhanced Games athletes can dope to compete for US$1 million prizes. But at what cost to sport?
Olympic swimmer Ben Proud has become the first British athlete to join the Enhanced Games—a controversial new event that allows athletes from all over the world to compete using performance-enhancing drugs. The prize money ...
Medical Xpress / 28% of adults struggle with mental health while adjusting to life after COVID-19 pandemic
Nearly one in three people have reported serious difficulties in psychologically adapting to life after the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study led by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire has found.
Phys.org / How evolution rewires gene circuits to build new patterns
How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: the lines that eventually give rise to segments, organs, or markings like stripes and spots. Yet ...
Phys.org / Tropical rainforest soil may fuel climate change as Earth warms, accelerating global warming
A new study led by the U.S. Forest Service, with Chapman University as a key senior collaborator, published in Nature Communications, suggests Earth's own tropical soils may contribute to climate change as global warming ...
Phys.org / 'Wiggling' atoms may lead to smaller, more efficient electronics
Researchers at Michigan State University have figured out how to use a fast laser to wiggle atoms in a way that temporarily changes the behavior of their host material. Their novel approach could lead to smaller and more ...
Phys.org / Tying theory to practice when searching for dark energy
Science is a story of coming up with theories then doing our best to disprove them. That is especially true for theories on a grand, cosmological scale, though disproving them can be particularly hard.
Medical Xpress / Stem cell transplant for stroke leads to brain cell growth and functional recovery in mice
When someone has a stroke—a leading worldwide cause of death and disability—time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and the current gold-standard ...
Medical Xpress / Growth factor erythropoietin promotes protective myelin formation, showing therapeutic potential
In the brain, it is not only important that nerve cells send signals, but also how quickly they can do so. In order for information to flow smoothly, a kind of biological insulation is necessary. The brain forms specialized ...
Medical Xpress / As pesticides and wildfires rise, kids with cancer need resources
A growing body of research ties environmental pollutants to worse health and shorter life spans for childhood cancer survivors. Yet medical providers lack sufficient resources to address these risks with patients, a recent ...
