Phys.org / Accessing water on Mars: Examining the best technologies for future missions
A new study has examined how future human missions to Mars could access one of the planet's most vital resources—water. The "Martian aqua: occurrence of water and appraisal of acquisition technologies" paper, published ...
Phys.org / Stingrays inspire smarter ocean robots: The physics of fin motion
Using robotic fins, researchers at the University of California, Riverside have learned how stingrays are able to swim with impressive control. These insights could help underwater vehicles avoid disastrous ground collisions.
Medical Xpress / Targeting key proteins in fight against ALS
Northwestern Medicine scientists have zeroed in on a cellular gatekeeper that may hold promise for treating abnormal protein accumulation in neurodegenerative diseases, according to a study published in Nature Communications. ...
Phys.org / Copper-carrying compound targets and kills MRSA bacteria by mimicking iron
A research team at the University of Arizona College of Medicine–Tucson is developing a drug that works in combination with copper to kill bacteria, including those that cause MRSA, a type of staph infection that is resistant ...
Medical Xpress / A new atlas could help guide researchers studying neurological disease
Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular sanitation machines responsible for those tasks, called lysosomes, break down or get overwhelmed, ...
Medical Xpress / Breathing disruptions during sleep widespread in newborns with spina bifida, study finds
Children with spina bifida, a malformation of the spinal cord that can lead to mobility impairments and hydrocephalus—a buildup of fluid in the brain—face significant risk of cognitive difficulties throughout their lives.
Phys.org / Drones and satellites can measure methane emissions from ruminants
A new study combines drone data, satellite observations, and ground-based flux measurements to examine methane emissions from ruminants in Kenya. The research represents a pioneering effort to quantify methane (CH₄) emissions ...
Phys.org / To clear ice and snow, there are rock salt alternatives that are safer for your pets and yard
Winter has its fans, but even those who enjoy playing in the snow probably dislike the chore of clearing up after a big storm that dumps several inches or even feet of snow and ice.
Medical Xpress / Gamified platform helps children with neurodiversity and anxiety
A 7-year-old child has an anxiety attack at school. She becomes frustrated and angry. Instead of letting her emotions explode, she remembers what she learned in therapy sessions: to breathe in a controlled manner. Minutes ...
Phys.org / Mobile lab pinpoints wood stoves and old power plants as Sarajevo's smog sources
Worldwide, it ranks among the cities with the highest levels of air pollution—and it's located in the heart of Europe: Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Previously, the spatial distribution of air pollutants ...
Medical Xpress / Progression-free survival prolonged with sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab in triple-negative breast cancer
For patients with previously untreated, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab yields significantly ...
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.
