Phys.org / Physicists provide key mass data for determining X-ray burst reaction rate
A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has directly measured the masses of two highly unstable atomic nuclei, phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27. These precise measurements ...
Phys.org / Subnational income inequality revealed: Regional successes may hold key to addressing widening gap globally
Income inequality is one of the most important measures of economic health, social justice and quality of life. More reliably trackable than wealth inequality, which was recently given a gloomy report card by the G20, income ...
Phys.org / Yeast cell factory converts methanol into L-lactate for biodegradable plastics
Methanol is an ideal feedstock for bio-manufacturing. Converting it into lactate, a monomer for biodegradable plastic, offers a promising strategy for addressing the challenge of white pollution. However, it remains difficult ...
Tech Xplore / Light yet strong material inspired by egg whites can cool devices faster
A research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating composite material that achieves both eco-friendliness and low-cost processing.
Phys.org / Archaic humans were strategic and picky hunters, new study suggests
Extinct relatives of modern humans, like Neanderthals and Homo erectus, that lived in the Levant around 120,000 years ago, did not engage in mass hunting but preferred selective and strategic hunting of wild cattle. Scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Miniature microscope captures real-time voltage signals in awake animals
Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more complete view of how brain ...
Medical Xpress / PFAS exposure may limit improvements in blood sugar after bariatric surgery
A new USC study shows teens with higher blood levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) measured before bariatric surgery had smaller improvements in blood sugar over five years, including fasting glucose and hemoglobin ...
Medical Xpress / State abortion bans increase emergency care violations, research finds
Although the United States does not guarantee health care as a right, federal law mandates that hospitals cannot deny anyone lifesaving emergency care. However, a new study finds that restrictive state abortion laws may affect ...
Medical Xpress / Dengue vaccine gains first major approval
The world's first single-dose vaccine to prevent dengue fever has been approved for licensure in one of the largest countries affected by the disease, following 16 years of research contributions by scientists at the University ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum stabilizes high-nickel cathodes, curbing rapid capacity loss in EV batteries
To increase driving range, electric vehicle (EV) batteries rely on high-nickel cathodes. However, this high nickel content has a critical drawback: battery performance degrades rapidly during charging and discharging. The ...
Medical Xpress / America doesn't have enough hospital beds. This could help
Every day, across the nation, patients wait hours or days in emergency departments until a bed opens up for them in the hospital.
Phys.org / Visual system of butterflies changes with seasons, research reveals
The shift from warm summer to cool fall conditions can be stressful for many animals. Surviving each season requires a multitude of different physiological and behavioral traits that scientists are still working to understand.
