Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University solved the drainage mystery in foams by discovering the pressure needed to rearrange bubbles sets the limit for liquid to drain out. The team found that dynamics play a crucial role in understanding soft materials and designing better foam products.
Researchers from TIFR Hyderabad have successfully accelerated protons to hundreds of kilovolts using few millijoule lasers, repeating at a thousand times per second. This breakthrough enables high-repetition-rate laser-driven ion accelerators on university lab table tops without extreme laser intensities or pre-pulse suppression.
A prospective cross-sectional study in Kenya used an AI-enabled ECG-based algorithm to detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) with high sensitivity and specificity. The study found that nearly 1 in 5 participants were at risk of heart failure, highlighting the need for early detection and evidence-based therapies.
A pharmaceutically produced cannabidiol formulation demonstrated a good overall safety profile, including cardiac safety, in patients at increased cardiovascular risk. The trial found low rates of cardiac side effects, with one patient experiencing mild QTc prolongation detected by electrocardiogram.
Researchers have discovered how to tune electromagnetic pulse intensity by adjusting laser energy and gas jet pressure, enabling controlled EMP applications. The study identified four primary sources of EMPs and found a correlation between EMP intensity and electron acceleration.
Researchers have developed a cheap and sustainable way to produce ionisable lipids from cashew nutshell liquid, a by-product of the cashew industry. This breakthrough could transform the future of vaccine production and support Africa's target of producing 60% of its vaccines locally by 2040.
TIFRH researchers found that imparting additional motility to poorly annealed glass components can induce further annealing, transforming a ductile material into a brittle one. This discovery provides insights into how cells might regulate glassiness and aids in designing new metamaterials.
