A biodegradable pressure sensor could help people with knee injuries exercise and heal faster, University of Connecticut researchers report in Science Advances. The knee can take a great deal of abuse, thanks to the cartilage ...
Phys.org / When mitochondria grow abnormally long, leaked RNA may activate anti-tumor immune responses
Researchers from the University of Osaka have demonstrated that mitochondrial hyperfusion, when induced by low levels of DRP1 or cellular stress, activates an immune response through the RIG-I–MAVS pathway. Dependent on the ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how leukemia cells enter and damage lungs
Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, a new study shows how blood cancer cells enter the lungs, damage tissue and cause severe breathing problems.
Phys.org / New superconductors identified, unlocking process that could yield thousands more
An international team of quantum researchers has shown how machine learning can be used to filter a practically infinite number of possible material combinations to identify candidates for superconductivity. Thanks to the ...
Phys.org / Gold-laced nanoparticles could eventually spot and treat endometriosis without surgery
Endometriosis is a painful, common condition affecting women worldwide, but treatment and diagnosis options are scarce. A new University of Mississippi-led study may have found an answer to both problems.
Tech Xplore / Team uses 3D printing to develop zinc-ion hybrid battery with seven times more energy
Storing solar and wind energy to meet the increasing power needs of the electrical grid calls for devices that can deliver power quickly, recharge quickly and last for decades at low cost. A new study led by UCLA has uncovered ...
Phys.org / Analyzing avalanches on asteroid Vesta offers new method for understanding regolith processes
A study conducted at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris uses images from NASA's Dawn mission and a Bayesian inversion of the Hapke photometric model to analyze avalanches and ejecta deposits on the asteroid Vesta. ...
Phys.org / Oil price shocks have exposed car‑dependent cities. Here's what governments can do
The recent Israeli–United States war with Iran sent oil prices soaring worldwide, and Canada was no exception. In some regions, gasoline passed $2 per liter.
