Researchers are developing a new ultrahigh-speed single-pixel camera. This new device, called single-pixel imaging accelerated via swept aggregate patterns (SPI-ASAP) is capable of streaming video at 12,000 frames per second using light modulation, giv…
Researchers have developed a low-cost, easy-to-manufacture stabilizer for broken bones to help in regions where such devices are expensive or in short supply and people sometimes resort to homemade options.
How cells shape complex tissues and organs during embryo development, which makes us what we are, has many mysteries. New research has examined one such process which leads to the formation of vertebral column or spinal column. If this process is disru…
Scientists have analyzed the viability of a new nanomolecule as drug delivery vehicle. The results show that liposomes are able to transport and deliver an anticancer drug that has been used as a model inside the cells.
Scientists have successfully trialed an artificial pancreas for use by patients living with type 2 diabetes. The device doubled the amount of time patients were in the target range for glucose compared to standard treatment and halved the time spent ex…
Pyroelectric catalysis (pyro-catalysis) can convert environmental temperature fluctuations into clean chemical energy, like hydrogen. However, compared with the more common catalysis strategy, such as photocatalysis, pyro-catalysis is inefficient due t…
New research suggests coaching overweight or obese pregnant women to improve their ability to plan and make progress toward goals may be key to helping them lower the amount of fat in their diet.
New research has found a better education has a strong genetic correlation and a protective causal association with several gut disorders.
Experiencing abuse or neglect as a child can cause multiple mental health problems, finds a new study.
More than 90% of vehicle-owning households in the United States would see a reduction in the percentage of income spent on transportation energy — the gasoline or electricity that powers their cars, SUVs and pickups — if they switched to electric veh…
Teens who reported feeling optimism, happiness, self-esteem, belongingness and loved were more likely to reach their 20s and 30s in good cardiometabolic health compared to teens with fewer of these positive psychological assets. The association was esp…
Despite recent, torrential rains, most of Southern California remains in a drought. Accordingly, many residents plant trees prized for drought tolerance, but a new study shows that these trees lose this tolerance once they’re watered.
An update to the Energy Zones Mapping Tool, the Geospatial Energy Mapper is an online tool with an extensive catalog of mapping data for energy planning. It can help identify areas that are suitable for clean energy infrastructure projects.
Astrophysicists have discovered the tightest ultracool dwarf binary system ever observed. The two stars are so close that it takes them less than one Earth day to revolve around each other. In other words, each star’s ‘year’ lasts just 20.5 hours.
Astronomers were on the lookout for ‘stars behaving strangely’ when an automated alert from pointed them to Gaia17bpp, a star that had gradually brightened over a 2 1/2-year period. But follow-up analyses indicated that Gaia17bpp wasn’t changing. Inste…
New research says the gut microbiome is involved in multiple pathways in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. The findings show a wide imbalance in microbiome composition in persons with Parkinson’s disease. The investigators employed metagenomics,…
Researchers find that being overweight can make the cells of people’s immune system destructive to their eyes as they age.
Using a predictive genomics approach called variant-to-gene mapping, Texas A&M biologist Alex Keene and colleagues prove the gene Pig-Q is associated with sleep regulation in humans, flies and zebrafish.
Alzheimer disease begins decades before any symptoms, such as memory loss, start to show. Consequently, early diagnosis increases the chances of slowing the disease down with drugs. A new study on an inherited form of the disease shows that a protein c…
