Phys.org / 3D-printed surfaces help atoms play ball to improve quantum sensors
Scientists have created 3D printed surfaces featuring intricate textures that can be used to bounce unwanted gas particles away from quantum sensors, allowing useful particles like atoms to be delivered more efficiently, ...
Phys.org / Stress-reduction molecule has potential to treat aging and metabolic disorders
University of Queensland researchers say the discovery of a new stress reduction role for a naturally occurring molecule in the body could lead to new drugs and treatment for metabolic disorders and aging.
Medical Xpress / How pancreatic tumors use the MYC protein to evade immune detection
An international research team has succeeded in deciphering a key mechanism that controls the growth of pancreatic cancers. The scientists identified a potential central mechanism by which cancer cells protect themselves ...
Phys.org / NASA head Isaacman tempers Artemis praise with ideas on the program's future
Even as NASA celebrated the rollout of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft for Artemis II over the weekend, NASA's new administrator, Jared Isaacman, made sure to put an asterisk on the program's future.
Phys.org / DNA nanodevices reveal acidic nanolayer on lysosome surfaces in live cells
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is known to regulate cytosolic-side functions such as membrane fusion/fission, movement, and membrane-contact ...
Medical Xpress / Exhaled breath may carry clues to gut microbiome health
The human gut is home to trillions of beneficial microbes that play a crucial role in health. Disruptions in this delicate community of bacteria and viruses—called the gut microbiome—have been linked to obesity, asthma ...
Medical Xpress / What do caregivers feel when witnessing terminal lucidity in children?
There are records of several unusual experiences reported by people in a terminal state, occurring in the final days, hours, or minutes of life. One such experience, known as terminal lucidity (TL), is characterized by an ...
Medical Xpress / Omitting Medicare data skews hospital readmission penalties, study shows
For more than a decade, hospitals have worked to help older adults avoid repeated inpatient stays, incentivized by a federal program that cuts Medicare reimbursements if hospitals have higher-than-expected rates of readmissions ...
Medical Xpress / Iron supplements restore muscle strength in mouse model of muscular dystrophy
Researchers at Kumamoto University have demonstrated that iron supplementation can significantly alleviate muscle pathology and functional decline in a mouse model of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a rare ...
Phys.org / Paying attention to birdsong while walking in nature can boost well-being, my research shows
There's no question that being in nature is good for well-being. Research shows that experiencing nature and listening to natural sounds can relax us.
Phys.org / New analysis disputes historic earthquake, tsunami and death toll on Greek island
For decades, researchers thought that an October 1843 earthquake on the small Greek island of Chalke caused a powerful tsunami and led to the deaths of as many as 600 people. But a new analysis of primary accounts of the ...
Medical Xpress / Redefining the role of neutrophils to open new avenues for cancer and inflammation therapies
Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and Yale University (U.S.) have published a comprehensive review article in the journal Cell that proposes ...
