| New model helps identify mutations that drive cancer Posted: 20 Jun 2022 09:23 AM PDT Scientists built a computer model that can rapidly scan the entire genome of cancer cells and identify mutations that occur more frequently than expected, suggesting that they are driving tumor growth. |
| A small lowering of the groundwater level can destroy house foundations Posted: 20 Jun 2022 07:08 AM PDT A new thesis shows that wooden pile foundations show visible damage after only a year if the groundwater level lowers. This can cause settlements of buildings in a matter of a few years. |
| Posted: 20 Jun 2022 07:08 AM PDT Species have intrinsic value, but also provide ecosystem services of major economic value, for example, bees that pollinate our crops. However, as such values are hard to translate into figures, currently, they remain easy to dismiss altogether. In a new study, a research team conceptualizes a species stock market for unified valuation of all species. By using digitized information from museums, occurrence data, and DNA sequence databases, this market quantifies our knowledge of each species from scientific, societal, and economic points of view. |
| Gaia space telescope rocks the science of asteroids Posted: 17 Jun 2022 01:56 PM PDT The European Gaia space mission has produced an unprecedented amount of new, improved, and detailed data for almost two billion objects in the Milky Way galaxy and the surrounding cosmos. The Gaia Data Release 3 on Monday revolutionizes our knowledge of the Solar System and the Milky Way and its satellite galaxies. |
| Scientists serendipitously discover rare cluster compound Posted: 17 Jun 2022 11:34 AM PDT Scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Cell-Material Sciences have discovered a novel cluster compound that could prove useful as a catalyst. Compounds, called polyoxometalates, contain a large metal-oxide cluster carry a negative charge. They are found everywhere, from anti-viral medicines to rechargeable batteries and flash memory devices. |
| Math model predicts efficacy of drug treatments for heart attacks Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:15 AM PDT Researchers used mice to develop a mathematical model of a myocardial infarction. The new model predicts several useful new drug combinations that may one day help treat heart attacks, according to researchers. |
| Biogas and biomethane supply chains leak twice as much methane as first thought Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:14 AM PDT A new analysis has found that biogas and biomethane, while more climate friendly, leak more than twice as much methane as previously thought. |
| A smart jumpsuit tracks infants' motor development Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:19 AM PDT New wearable technology creates new possibilities for assessing the neurological development of young children. Early motor assessment is essential for supporting the early detection of neurodevelopmental problems and their therapeutic interventions. |
| Next gen television and computer screens: Creating optically active polymers Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:18 AM PDT A University of Tsukuba researcher describes a new method for obtaining conjugated polymers in a helical configuration. By using twisted liquid crystals as a template, the resulting polymers were found to be able to convert linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light. This work may be used for next-generation television and computer screens. |
| Electrically conductive paints and other polymer alloys now produced easily Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:18 AM PDT Researchers have synthesized electrically conductive polyaniline polymer in common organic solvents. A small quantity of added iodine facilitates the radical chain reaction that is critical to polymer synthesis. This protocol will facilitate processing of polyaniline in printed circuit boards, electrically conductive paints, and other advanced technologies, in a cheap and versatile manner. |
| New polymer mesophase structure discovered? Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:18 AM PDT Researchers describe a new polymer structure called a bilayer-folded mesophase that has been discovered through a random copolymer sequence. |
| Training virtually can reduce psychosocial stress and anxiety Posted: 17 Jun 2022 07:18 AM PDT Everyone knows that exercise brings physical and psychological benefits. A new study suggests that virtual reality exercise induces similar effects, meaning those with limited mobility may be able to improve their mental well-being. |
| Engineers create single-step, all-in-one 3D printing method to make robotic materials Posted: 16 Jun 2022 11:27 AM PDT Engineers have developed a new design strategy and 3D printing technique to build robots in one single step. The breakthrough enabled the entire mechanical and electronic systems needed to operate a robot to be manufactured all at once by a new type of 3D printing process for engineered active materials with multiple functions (also known as metamaterials). Once 3D printed, a 'meta-bot' will be capable of propulsion, movement, sensing and decision-making. |
