Medical Xpress / 'Maestro' protein CASKIN2 orchestrates memory by fine-tuning neuron signals
For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is expected to provide important ...
Phys.org / Probiotics and prebiotics offer safer alternatives to antibiotics in animal agriculture
A new study by researchers at Shinshu University highlights the essential role of gut microbiota in livestock health and productivity. The researchers show how probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics can safely enhance growth ...
Tech Xplore / Virtual battery model paves way for electric vehicle simulations
Studies on integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into local energy markets have been hindered by the high computational complexity associated with EV modeling. Seyed Mahoor Ebrahimi's doctoral dissertation at the University ...
Tech Xplore / How platform design steers demand
Digital platforms have gained strong economic positions in many industries. On the one hand, they enable more providers than ever before to make their products, services, or information available. On the other hand, this ...
Phys.org / Computational framework streamlines therapeutic RNA nanocarrier design
A research team led by professor Olivia Merkel, Chair of Drug Delivery at LMU and co-spokesperson of the Cluster for Nucleic Acid Therapeutics Munich (CNATM) has developed the first integrated platform that combines molecular ...
Phys.org / Argon ion treatment increases carbon nanowall electrode capacitance fivefold
Researchers from Skoltech, MIPT, and the RAS Institute of Nanotechnology of Microelectronics have achieved a five-fold increase in the capacitance of carbon nanowalls, a material used in the electrodes of supercapacitors. ...
Medical Xpress / Telehealth boomed during COVID, but in some areas, its promise fell short
While telehealth use surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, some U.S. counties struggled to use resources efficiently, revealing widespread misallocation of health care infrastructure, workforce and technology, according to ...
Phys.org / Calibrating qubit charge to make quantum computers even more reliable
Quantum computers will be able to assume highly complex tasks in the future. With superconducting quantum processors, however, it has thus far been difficult to read out experimental results because measurements can cause ...
Phys.org / Delaying building block supply boosts self-assembly efficiency of complex systems, biophysicists demonstrate
The ability to self-organize is a key feature of biological systems and is widely found in nature: small building blocks that autonomously assemble give rise to macromolecules such as the cell nucleus, virus capsids, or complex ...
Medical Xpress / Long-term HIV control: Combination therapy points way to a possible cure
A new study from UC San Francisco shows it may be possible to control HIV without long-term antiviral treatment—an advance that points the way toward a possible cure for a disease that affects 40 million people around the ...
Phys.org / Do super-Jupiters look like Jupiter? Not necessarily, study shows
Using images from the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb), an international research team including Western's Stanimir Metchev has discovered new answers to explain how some brown dwarfs form giant dust storms, contradicting ...
Phys.org / Expansion of Antarctic bottom water contributed to end of last Ice Age, study finds
Around 12,000 years ago, the last Ice Age ended, global temperatures rose and the early Holocene began, during which time human societies became increasingly settled. A new study published in Nature Geoscience shows the ...
