'Space solar power' is a concept conjured by science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov in 1941 - but researchers in California have now shown it's possible.

Uno studio pubblicato su Physical Review Letters ipotizza che i buchi neri primordiali – entità formatesi all’epoca dell’inflazione e teoricamente sede di innumerevoli “baby universi” – potrebbero essere ciò che chiamiamo materia oscura. E che sia possibile tentare di verificare quest’ipotesi grazie a telescopi come il giapponese Subaru o il futuro Vera Rubin Survey Telescope. Media Inaf ha intervistato uno degli autori dello studio, il fisico napoletano Edoardo Vitagliano

Prof. Lucchini (PoliMi) all'Adnkronos: 'Orgogliosi di questo risultato, è il primo passo per pensare a dispositivi innovativi che superino quegli attuali'. All'orizzonte anche computer più potenti.

A recent study led by Griffith University revealed that urban stormwater particles from tire wear were the most prevalent microplastic Published in Environmental Science & Technology, the research indicated that during rainfall, about 95% of the microplastics detected in stormwater runoff wer

Recent studies published in the Creativity Research Journal reveal a connection between creativity and empathy, suggesting that constructing mental representations of others' minds is a crucial component of empathetic responses. Introducing the concept of "creative empathy," the research underscores that creativity can be enhanced in empathic contexts, yet the relationship between the two isn't always straightforward, with potential for both enhancement and distraction. ...

The federal government has dished out at least $22 million to develop shirts, pants, socks and underwear that can record audio, video and geolocation data without anyone else knowing.

Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered what they believe to be the central mechanism behind cognitive decline associated with normal aging.

Instead of getting dentures when we’re old, we might be able to grow a third set of teeth.

Speranze per l'inversione dell'invecchiamento: Scoperte chimiche promettenti ma sfida ancora sulla strada dell'applicazione umana

A study has indicated that the hormone, which is readily available for purchase from drugstores and frequently used as a supplement, intensified the symptoms of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in laboratory mice. The effect, however, depended on the animal’s gut microbiota profile. A new s

I ricercatori sono entusiasti dei risultati, ritenendo che aflibercept 8 mg possa contribuire a ridurre il peso della malattia per molti pazienti.

I ricercatori hanno somministrato una dose ridotta di klotho a 18 macachi rhesus anziani, con risultati promettenti per il potenziamento delle funzioni cognitive.

Great strides are being made in the field of lab-grown meat, but its price remains a barrier to wide commercial use. British startup Moolec has created what it claims is a less costly alternative, in the form of soya plants that produce pig-protein-rich beans.

A review of academic research indicates that the use of humor therapy might alleviate signs of depression and anxiety. For the analysis, which was published in Brain and Behavior, researchers analyzed 29 pertinent studies. These studies collectively involved 2,964 participants from nine distinct

A new study found that feelings of loneliness were less common in people who reported a purposeful life, regardless of their age.

A scientific collaboration has found that the IL-17 protein plays a key role in skin aging, with its temporary inhibition resulting in delayed aging symptoms. Future research will further investigate the role of IL-17 in aging processes of other tissues and organs. A team of researchers from IR

One of the eVTOL world's oddest ducks has announced a milestone of sorts. Alef's Model A is a US$300,000 electric car that's ... kinda street legal, but also capable of a very unique form of flight. The company has announced limited FAA certification.

A new quantum theory developed by scientists at the City University of Hong Kong provides unprecedented insights into the 'light-induced phase' of matter, offering potential to revolutionize quantum photonics and control at room temperature. The theory significantly advances our understanding of the

Chlorine has long been used as an effective way of removing microorganisms, including bacteria, from drinking water but it has been linked to health problems. In a new study, researchers looked at how the bacteria responded when chlorine was removed from the purification process, opening the door to using harmless 'predatory' bacteria as an alternative to chlorine.

Researchers have combined a drug that’s normally used to treat cancer with a naturally derived anti-inflammatory to stimulate pancreatic stem cells to grow into insulin-producing cells. The study’s findings could one day lead to an alternative way of restoring insulin production in people with type 1 diabetes.
