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 ...
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 ...
Phys.org / New research shows how 'hot electrons' can reshape metals in billionths of a second
Researchers at The University of Manchester have revealed how intense electronic excitation can trigger rapid structural changes in metals—without heating the atomic lattice—offering new insight into ultrafast materials behavior.
Medical Xpress / Blood vessel building revealed: Cells push, anchor and pull to connect flowing channels
How do blood vessels form to reliably supply the body with oxygen and nutrients? A research team at the University of Basel has uncovered a key mechanism by which cells join to build new blood vessels.
Tech Xplore / Reconfigurable AI device preserves long-term memory while acoustic waves reset short-term signals
A research team led by professor Il Jeon of the Department of Nano Engineering and the Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT) at Sungkyunkwan University, including Dr. Sihyeok Kim and Dr. Jang Woo Lee, ...
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 ...
Phys.org / A way to read quantum bits faster and with less hardware
Quantum computers process information in a fundamentally different way from conventional computers, using quantum bits, or qubits, that can exist in multiple states at once. This could allow them to tackle problems beyond ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 drugs may hold few benefits beyond physical health, study finds
GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic have transformed the treatment of type 2 diabetes, helping millions of patients better control their blood sugar while reducing cardiovascular risk and, for many, promoting substantial weight ...
Medical Xpress / First-of-its-kind study reveals how sleep strengthens memory and how epilepsy can disrupt the process
Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine have discovered that memory consolidation during sleep depends on coordinated activity among three brain regions, and disruptions to this activity can impair ...
Phys.org / A lipid switch that blocks anthrax from entering cells
Every cell carefully builds and positions thousands of proteins that allow it to sense and respond to its surroundings. Even small changes to these proteins often determine whether they work properly or are destroyed before ...
Phys.org / Researchers detect potentially harmful substance in solid waste
In a study conducted by São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil and the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, the presence of chlorinated organophosphorus esters was identified in samples of solid waste—discarded ...
Phys.org / Self-cleaning nanoscale sensor could transform personalized medicine
Imagine a smart bandage that could continuously monitor an infected wound, alerting doctors when bacteria spread or when treatment begins to work. That vision is one step closer to reality with new research from Virginia ...
