Experimental compound counters diabetic complications
An experimental compound reduced complications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in mice -- not by lowering blood sugar -- but by countering its consequences, a new study finds......»»
Heart complications after a stroke increase the risk of future cardiovascular events
A large, observational study found that heart complications within one month after an ischemic stroke (blocked blood flow to the brain) are very common. This 'stroke-heart syndrome' may put stroke survivors at higher risk for death, heart attack or a.....»»
Experimental ‘gene silencing’ therapy reduces lipoprotein(a), an important risk factor of heart disease, by up to 98%
Findings from a phase 1 trial show that an experimental 'gene silencing' therapy reduced blood levels of lipoprotein(a), a key driver of heart disease risk, by up to 98%......»»
Aggressive warming during surgery does not reduce major complications
Patients kept at a body temperature of 37 C during major surgery had no fewer cardiac complications than patients kept at 35.5 C, according to new data. There were also no differences in the number of infections or required blood transfusions in pati.....»»
Chemical data management: An open way forward
One of the most challenging aspects of modern chemistry is managing data. For example, when synthesizing a new compound, scientists will go through multiple attempts of trial-and-error to find the right conditions for the reaction, generating in the.....»»
Toward plasma medicine: Experimental technique uses a liquid micro jet to understand electron transport
From Star Trek to Wolverine and Dune, instant wound healing has been a show-stealer in many science-fiction and fantasy films......»»
FitTech steps into compound semiconductor testing equipment manufacturing
FitTech has extended product development and production from LED probing/testing and sorting equipment to compound semiconductor wafer testing equipment and has developed 6-inch GaN epitaxial wafer testing equipment, according to the company......»»
When a band falls flat: Searching for flatness in materials
Finding the right ingredients to create materials with exotic quantum properties has been a chimera for experimental scientists, due to the endless possible combinations of different elements to be synthesized......»»
Golden decade looming for LEO satellite supply chain players
LEO (low Earth orbit) satellite communications will likely enter its first year of commercialization in 2022 and embrace a golden decade of development in the near future, prompting related Taiwan RF components vendors, module assemblers and compound.....»»
Adding Okra To Drinking Water Removes Microplastics
An anonymous reader quotes a report from New Atlas: If you've ever eaten okra, then you'll know that the stuff can be pretty gooey. According to new research, that quality could allow a compound from the plant to be used in a less toxic method of rem.....»»
Want To Talk? FBI Trolls Russian Embassy for Disgruntled Would-Be Spies
Recruitment ad hits social media feeds of mobile phones located outside or inside the diplomatic compound. From a report: The FBI is trying a novel strategy to recruit Russian-speaking individuals upset about the country's invasion of Ukraine: aiming.....»»
Stephen Wilhite, who created GIFs, dies at 74
Wilhite, whose GIFs changed the way we communicate online, died March 14. His wife, Kathaleen, confirmed that Wilhite died from complications of Covid-19......»»
New potentially painkilling compound found in deep-water cone snails
Scientists already know that the venom of cone snails, which prowl the ocean floor for a fish dinner, contains compounds that can be adapted as pharmaceuticals to treat chronic pain, diabetes and other human maladies. But the cone snails' venom has m.....»»
Physicists elucidate connection between symmetry and Mott physics
Initially regarded as a scientific curiosity upon its discovery in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, superconductivity has provided physicists with numerous theoretical challenges and experimental surprises. From the development of Bardeen-Cooper-Schri.....»»
The experimental demonstration of topological dissipation in photonic resonators
So far, physicists have primarily studied topological phases in conservatively coupled systems. These are systems with dynamics that do not dissipate and a phase space that does not shrink over time. They are in stark contrast with dissipative system.....»»
Experimental study provides new insights into the genetics of heritable traits
Utilizing an innovative experimental model incorporating 240,000 strains of brewer's yeast descended from two common "parents," USC and Stanford University researchers published a new study providing insight into the genetic basis of heritable traits.....»»
Steam Deck vs. cloud gaming: How do they compare?
Is the Steam Deck a better portable solution than cloud gaming? We put the experimental gaming platforms in a head-to-head test......»»
Interior of protons is maximally entangled
Fragments of the interior of a proton have been shown by scientists from Mexico and Poland to exhibit maximum quantum entanglement. The discovery, already confronted with experimental data, allows us to suppose that in some respects the physics of th.....»»
Conducting research in marketing with quasi-experiments
Researchers from University of Toronto, MIT, and University of British Columbia published a new paper in the Journal of Marketing that aims to broaden the use and usefulness of quasi-experimental methods in marketing by describing the underlying l.....»»
Florida manatee feeding program to wind down as temps warm
The experimental program that has fed tons of lettuce to starving manatees in Florida will begin to wind down as the weather warms, wildlife officials said Wednesday......»»
Manipulating the dark states of superconducting circuits in a microwave waveguide
Experimental physicists led by Gerhard Kirchmair, together with theoretical physicists at the University of Oulu, Finland, have succeeded for the first time in controlling protected quantum states—so-called dark states—in superconducting quantum.....»»
