Dialog / A new way to communicate with neurons using focused ultrasound stimulation
I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely calibrated ultrasonic pulses. On the screen in front of us, calcium signals from brain cells began ...
Phys.org / How species competition shapes trait diversity worldwide
Every ecosystem is shaped by billions of invisible battles: organisms competing for light, nutrients, space, or mates. These competitive interactions determine which species survive, how they evolve, and how vibrant and resilient ...
Phys.org / The possible applications of olive pomace: A study reveals the most sustainable option
The extraction of olive pomace oil is cited as the most sustainable alternative for the recovery of the olive oil industry's byproducts, according to a methodology developed by the UCO that considers economic, environmental ...
Tech Xplore / Novel approach to a key biofuel production step captures an elusive energy source
Plants grown for biofuel have the potential to power our travel industry, but an important fraction of their chemical power has remained stubbornly difficult to recover. New research from the Center for Advanced Biofuel and ...
Phys.org / The rise and fall (and rise again) of gold prices: What's going on?
In late January, the gold price reached an all-time peak of around US $5,500 (£4,025). January 30 saw one of the largest one-day falls in prices, which sank by nearly 10% after hitting a record high only the day before.
Medical Xpress / Yeast cells can be used for rapid testing of cancer immunotherapy
An international research team with strong participation from DTU has developed a new biotechnological platform that makes it possible to test and understand advanced cancer treatments much faster and cheaper than before. ...
Phys.org / Using duality to construct and classify new quantum phases
A team of theoretical researchers has found duality can unveil non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases, which can lead to researchers understanding more about the properties of these phases, and uncover new quantum ...
Medical Xpress / Four out of every 10 cancer cases are preventable: WHO
Nearly four out of every 10 cancer cases could be prevented if people avoided a range of risk factors including smoking, drinking, air pollution and certain infections, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.
Medical Xpress / How a tiny cellular signal helps shape the human heart
Australian researchers have uncovered a crucial new mechanism that helps explain how the heart's major blood vessels form during early development, and how disruptions to this process can lead to serious congenital heart ...
Phys.org / From sea to soil: Molecular changes suggest how algae evolved into plants
Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae survived by performing photosynthesis, turning sunlight into energy. However, little light reaches the ...
Medical Xpress / 'Personal lives' of lung cancer cells help predict response to treatment
University of Queensland researchers who mapped cancer cell "neighborhoods" in the most common type of lung cancer have found cell metabolism plays a critical role in determining how lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy. ...
Medical Xpress / Air ambulance pre-hospital care may make surviving critical injury more likely
Air ambulance pre-hospital care (HEMS) may make surviving critical injury more likely as it's associated with saving five more lives than would be expected in every 100 major trauma cases, suggests an analysis of survival ...
