Phys.org / Reviving antibiotics with two-faced nanoparticles
Over the decades, many strains of disease-causing bacteria have evolved defenses to even the most potent antibiotics, setting off a growing health crisis. The rise of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" has also set off an arms ...
Tech Xplore / OLED lighting: Corrugated panel design extends longevity and efficiency
The organic light emitting diodes—known widely as OLEDs—that create vibrant smartphone displays could illuminate rooms, but current designs burn out too quickly at the high brightness needed for room lighting. A new approach ...
Phys.org / An ultra-fast quantum tunneling device for the 6G terahertz era
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a quantum device, capable of ultra-fast operation, a key step toward realizing technologies like 6G communications. This innovation overcomes a major hurdle that has long ...
Phys.org / A tug-of-war explains a decades-old question about how bacteria swim
Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of biology's most intensively studied molecular machines.
Phys.org / Hybrid parasites threaten progress against one of the world's most widespread neglected diseases
New research led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) warns that hybrid forms of the parasites that cause schistosomiasis are undermining existing disease control strategies and could accelerate the spread of infection ...
Phys.org / Scientists find more active black holes in dwarf and Milky Way-sized galaxies by cutting through glare of star formation
Astronomers have completed the most comprehensive census of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to date, providing the clearest picture yet of the probability that galaxies of different sizes host active black holes.
Phys.org / How Mycobacterium tuberculosis safeguards itself from foreign DNA
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), with collaborators from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), have discovered how a key protein in the tuberculosis bacterium helps protect it from the influence ...
Phys.org / How quiet galaxies stay quiet: Cool gas feeds black holes in 'red geysers'
Astronomers have long puzzled over how some massive galaxies stop forming stars and remain dormant for billions of years—even when they still contain gas that could, in principle, fuel new stars.
Medical Xpress / Personalizing cancer treatments significantly improves outcomes in clinical trial
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have led the first clinical trial in the world to show that cancer drug treatments can be safely and effectively personalized based on the unique DNA of ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon shell design curbs shuttle effect in thermal battery cathodes
Transition metal fluorides are widely regarded as promising cathode materials because of their high theoretical voltages and excellent thermal stability. However, in real batteries, these materials tend to dissolve and migrate ...
Phys.org / How does glass 'shake' and why does it start flowing when pushed hard enough?
Glassy materials are everywhere, with applications far exceeding windowpanes and drinking glasses. They range from bioactive glasses for bone repair and amorphous pharmaceuticals that boost drug solubility to ultra-pure silica ...
Medical Xpress / Popular omega-3 supplements fail to improve depressive symptoms in young people
Fish oil pills rich in omega-3 fatty acids gained attention as a possible add-on treatment for depression, as a few studies on adults found noticeable improvements in symptoms when combined with antidepressants.
