Phys.org / Laser reveals sound from supersonic molecules in near-space cold conditions
What happens when you hurl molecules faster than sound through a vacuum chamber nearly as cold as space itself? At the University of Missouri, researchers are finding out—and discovering new ways to detect molecules under ...
Phys.org / Atom-thin crystals provide new way to power the future of computer memory
Picture the smartphone in your pocket, the data centers powering artificial intelligence, or the wearable health monitors that track your heartbeat. All of them rely on energy-hungry memory chips to store and process information. ...
Phys.org / Hundreds of new bacteria, and two potential antibiotics, discovered in soil
Most bacteria cannot be cultured in the lab—and that's been bad news for medicine. Many of our frontline antibiotics originated from microbes, yet as antibiotic resistance spreads and drug pipelines run dry, the soil beneath ...
Phys.org / How lactate defends cells under stress
Many people are familiar with lactate primarily from sports, where it is produced in muscle cells during physical exertion. However, the molecule could also play an important role in other cell types.
Phys.org / Amino acids act as 'anti-salt': New insight into how small molecules stabilize proteins
Biologists have long known that amino acids can help stabilize proteins, for example as additives to pharmaceutical formulations. In trying to understand why this works, EPFL and MIT researchers have discovered a fundamental ...
Tech Xplore / New technology turns paintings into holograms, bringing art to life
Artists are always looking for new ways to create and express themselves. A growing trend is the use of multiple layers of see-through materials, such as Plexiglas, to create paintings that have real depth, transforming two-dimensional ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct psilocybin-induced oscillations observed in rat medial prefrontal cortex, with effects lasting days
Psychedelics, a class of psychoactive drugs that typically induce peculiar mental states and hallucinations, are still prohibited for recreational use in most countries worldwide. In recent years, some neuroscientists and ...
Phys.org / Uniting the light spectrum on a single microchip
Focused laser-like light that covers a wide range of frequencies is highly desirable for many scientific studies and for many applications, for instance, quality control of manufacturing semiconductor electronic chips. But ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis use may harm reproductive health and reduce healthy embryos in IVF
CReATe Fertility Center in Toronto reports that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) reaches the ovarian follicle, aligns with higher oocyte maturation, and associates with lower embryo euploid rates in IVF, with in vitro exposure ...
Medical Xpress / Antigen amplification strategy shows promise for more precise next-generation immunotherapies
Tumor immunotherapies, especially those leveraging T-cells to identify and eliminate cancer cells, represent a major breakthrough in cancer treatment. However, many tumor-associated antigens are not expressed at a high enough ...
Phys.org / Survey across the Global South sheds new light on support for climate policies
A new study, published in Nature Climate Change, offers a comprehensive picture of public attitudes toward climate policies, such as carbon taxes, in seven large countries in the Global South: Chile, Colombia, India, Kenya, ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable devices could transform pregnancy monitoring and detect abnormalities
A simple fitness tracker might hold the key to revolutionizing maternal health care. Scientists at Scripps Research have found preliminary evidence suggesting that common wearable devices such as the Apple Watch, Garmin and ...
