Medical Xpress / Potential new target to treat Parkinson's disease discovered
About 1 million Americans suffer from Parkinson's disease, with around 90,000 new cases diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson's Foundation. The chronic, degenerative brain disorder destroys dopamine-producing cells ...
Medical Xpress / Air pollution may increase the risk of the neurodegenerative disease ALS
Prolonged exposure to air pollution can be linked to an elevated risk for serious neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and seems to speed up the pathological process, report researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. ...
Phys.org / An experimental study reveals the role of natural oils in reducing banana spoilage
One of the major challenges facing the agricultural sector is reserving the post-harvest quality of fruits. Significant economic losses can be caused by rapid ripening and deterioration in tropical fruits, such as bananas, ...
Tech Xplore / A durable, polymer-based, flexible RF switch for 6G communication
A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a novel, high-performance, and thermally stable polymer-based non-volatile analog switch. This next-generation device is as thin and flexible as vinyl, yet capable of withstanding ...
Medical Xpress / Noninvasive brain scanning could send signals to paralyzed limbs
People with spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the damage to their spinal cords ...
Phys.org / Innovations in spatial imaging could unlock higher wheat yields
Researchers at the John Innes Center and the Earlham Institute are pioneering powerful single-cell visualization techniques that could unlock higher yields of global wheat.
Phys.org / Ion trap enables 1 minute in the nanocosmos
At the Department of Ion Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Innsbruck, a research team has succeeded for the first time in storing electrically charged helium nanodroplets in an ion trap for up to one minute.
Phys.org / Some creeks temporarily run stronger after wildfire, and now we know why
New UBC Okanagan research shows that wildfire can change how much water remains in streams during the driest months of the year.
Phys.org / New quantum boundary discovered: Spin size determines how the Kondo effect behaves
Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, they produce unique effects not seen in individual particles. Understanding how quantum spins interact ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis may help some communities cope with gun violence
Yasser Payne grew up in Harlem, New York, where violence was all around him. A number of his family members and friends were shot. He himself was subject to gun violence and witnessed fights. And this ever-present threat ...
Medical Xpress / Fremanezumab reduces number of migraine days in children, teens
Fremanezumab yields a greater reduction in the number of migraine days and headache days than placebo among children and adolescents with episodic migraine, according to a study published in the Jan. 15 issue of the New England ...
Tech Xplore / Simple equations predict hydrogen storage in porous materials
A new set of simple equations can fast-track the search for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a Nobel-Prize-winning class of nanoporous materials that are promising candidates for clean hydrogen energy storage. With millions ...
