| Vision impairment is associated with mortality Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:32 AM PST A meta-analysis finds that vision impairment and blindness are tied to an increased risk of mortality, prompting the need to address global eye health disparities. |
| Physics camp has proven benefits for high school girls Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:31 AM PST Studies show that engaging high school girls in physics before they begin formal studies gives them an edge, and helping K-12 teachers incorporate engineering concepts in the classroom boosts their students -- and themselves. |
| Building networks not enough to expand rural broadband Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:31 AM PST Public grants to build rural broadband networks may not be sufficient to close the digital divide, new research finds. |
| Rapid 3D printing method moves toward 3D-printed organs Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:31 AM PST A research team is a 3D printing method called stereolithography and jelly-like materials known as hydrogels to develop a 3D printing method that's 10-50 times faster than the industry standard. The team says its progress toward 3D-printed human tissue and organs -- biotechnology that could eventually save countless lives lost due to the shortage of donor organs. |
| New 'split-drive' system puts scientists in the (gene) driver seat Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:31 AM PST New research describes novel achievements designed to make the implementation of gene drives safer and more controllable. The new split drive and home-and-rescue systems address concerns about the release of gene drives in wild populations. |
| Study reveals how egg cells get so big Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:31 AM PST The process of egg formation in fruit flies relies on physical phenomena analogous to the exchange of gases between balloons of different sizes, according to a new study by biologists and mathematicians. |
| Cactus pear as drought-tolerant crop for sustainable fuel and food Posted: 05 Mar 2021 12:06 PM PST Could cactus pear become a major crop like soybeans and corn in the near future, and help provide a biofuel source, as well as a sustainable food and forage crop? Researchers believe the plant, with its high heat tolerance and low water use, may be able to provide fuel and food in places that previously haven't been able to grow sustainable crops. |
| Coastal changes worsen nuisance flooding on many U.S. shorelines Posted: 05 Mar 2021 11:28 AM PST Nuisance flooding has increased on U.S. coasts in recent decades due to sea level rise, and new research has uncovered an additional reason for its added frequency -- higher local tide ranges. |
| New quantum theory heats up thermodynamic research Posted: 05 Mar 2021 05:01 AM PST Researchers have developed a new quantum version of a 150-year-old thermodynamical thought experiment that could pave the way for the development of quantum heat engines. |
| Astrocytes derived from patients with bipolar disorder malfunction Posted: 04 Mar 2021 11:54 AM PST Cells called astrocytes derived from the induced pluripotent stem cells of patients with bipolar disorder offer suboptimal support for neuronal activity. This malfunction can be traced to an inflammation-promoting molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which is secreted by astrocytes. The results highlight the potential role of astrocyte-mediated inflammatory signaling in the psychiatric disease, although further investigation is needed. |
