Medical Xpress / Artificial lung system keeps patient alive without lungs until transplant
Humans can't live without lungs, but Ankit Bharat's patient did for 48 hours.
Phys.org / Atomic spins set quantum fluid in motion: Experimental realization of the Einstein–de Haas effect
The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a quantum fluid by researchers at Science Tokyo. The team observed this effect in a Bose–Einstein condensate ...
Phys.org / Another Arctic blast bears down on US as snow cleanup drags on
Another blast of Arctic air was set to spread across much of the United States from Thursday night, even as local authorities struggled to dig out from mounds of snow and ice days after a giant storm passed.
Medical Xpress / Brain 'hazmat' protein cleans up tau: Could it prevent dementia?
Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of tau protein that can lead to dementia. Neurons with more of this garbage collector, technically ...
Medical Xpress / Fruit fly 'Fox' neurons show how brains assign value to food
Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things at certain times, and sweets at other times? The answers, according to new neuroscience research ...
Medical Xpress / Why a potential vaccine for neonatal sepsis faces challenges ahead

Medical Xpress / New guide aims to tame the chaos of UTI care
Millions of times a year, Americans seek urgent treatment for painful, embarrassing urinary tract infections. But while they once had to go in person for testing and treatment, now they can type messages to their clinic into ...
Phys.org / Self-powered composite material detects its own cracks
A new multifunctional composite made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) and piezoelectric materials can use vibrations to self-detect tiny cracks. This material could be used in the aerospace, automotive, and construction ...
Tech Xplore / Waymo gears up to launch robotaxis in London this year
