Phys.org / A new 'crystalline sponge' for drug discovery: APF-80 illuminates materials design
Many natural compounds that act on the human body provide active ingredients for medicines or clues for developing them, and they play a crucial role in pharmaceutical research.
Phys.org / Higher farm productivity linked to slower growth in agricultural emissions
A new study shows that increasing production on farms and reducing emissions can go hand-in-hand, with researchers finding that improved farm productivity has been the driving force in keeping greenhouse gas emissions from ...
Phys.org / Health care electronics are booming—here's how to make them more sustainable
Wearable health care devices—such as glucose monitors, ultrasound patches and blood-pressure monitors—can be invaluable for keeping patients safe.
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Super-Earths; superagers; how we grieve pets
This week, a new analysis of Jupiter's atmosphere estimated that the gas giant has 1.5 times more oxygen than the sun. Researchers in Brazil identified a protein that allows pancreatic cancer to infiltrate nerves and spread ...
Phys.org / Study separates human and hydrological causes of nitrogen loss in Mississippi Basin
Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign can now differentiate between human-derived and hydrological contributions of riverine nitrogen pollution in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The advancement, published ...
Phys.org / Imaging technique captures ultrafast electron and atom dynamics in chemical reactions
During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively charged particles) and ...
Phys.org / Scientists transform enigmatic cell structures into devices for recording RNA activity
Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, disease progression and ...
Phys.org / New temperature record challenges extreme high-latitude warmth paradigm
Reliable predictions of how the Earth's climate will respond as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels increase are based on climate models. These models, in turn, are based on data from past geological times in which the CO2 ...
Phys.org / Temperature shifts alter honeybee behavior but leave native bees unchanged
Research from Monash University explores how rising temperatures and growing urban environments can affect behavior in native Australian bees and the European honeybee.
Phys.org / When employees feel slighted, they work less, research reveals
A missed birthday. A forgotten anniversary. A milestone that goes unnoticed. These small slights from a manager may seem like no big deal, but new research from Wharton reveals that even the mildest of mistreatment at work ...
Phys.org / Neutralizing extracellular electron transport disarms antibiotic-resistant bacteria, restores healing in chronic wounds
An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new method that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Phys.org / Tiger sharks gather to mate during Maui's whale season, finds research
A team of shark researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has solved a long-standing mystery, identifying the first-ever documented mating hub for tiger sharks.
