Phys.org / Hybrid bioprinter creates capillary networks narrower than 10 micrometers
More than 100,000 people are awaiting an organ transplant in the United States, with a new candidate added to the list every 10 minutes. Even if the transplant is carried out successfully, recipients must take immunosuppressive ...
Phys.org / Hurricane Hunter data reveal early signs of strengthening tropical cyclones
Before tropical cyclones can significantly strengthen, they generally must first become vertically aligned, with their rotating centers stacked through the atmosphere. New research using nearly three decades of NOAA Hurricane ...
Phys.org / Radiation vest tested on NASA moonshot can cut astronauts' exposure in solar storms, study suggests
A new study suggests a protective vest tested on a manikin during NASA's first Artemis moonshot could drastically cut the radiation exposure of lunar astronauts during severe solar storms.
Phys.org / Chemical fingerprints reveal hidden binary pasts of massive stars
More than 70% of massive stars are born in close binary systems, where gravitational tugs and mass transfer between companions dramatically alter their evolution. Yet once the interaction ends—whether through mass transfer, ...
Phys.org / Californians are twice as likely as Louisianans to be childfree—but demographics tell more of the story
Across the United States, the number of people who do not have and do not want to have children is growing. While they are twice as likely to live in California as Louisiana, individual demographic characteristics are the ...
Phys.org / What happens to nanoparticles when they enter the bloodstream?
The use of nanoparticles in drug delivery offers key advantages: they can enable targeted drug delivery, protect active ingredients from premature degradation, extend their duration of action in the body and reduce side effects. ...
Phys.org / Quantum advantage reassessed: More realistic benchmarks for quantum algorithms
Quantum advantage refers to the point at which a quantum computer solves a clearly defined task faster or more efficiently than any classical computer—or makes it solvable in the first place. For many practical applications, ...
Phys.org / The internet can't get enough of cats, but cats might have had enough of the internet
According to new research, viewers often dismiss, trivialize or even romanticize signs of cat distress during "play" interactions, raising concerns for cat welfare.
