The new journal, Wireless and Communication Letters, is an international platform for high-quality research in wireless communications, networking, and communication engineering. It publishes original letters, full-length research articles, and comprehensive reviews on the latest scientific and technological advances.
A study found that metal–oxygen bond length is positively correlated with trace-element bioaccumulation across three plant-soil datasets. The relationship could help predict plant uptake and reduce the need for costly experiments.
Researchers developed a flexible, battery-free hydrogel bioelectronic patch that wirelessly monitors periodontal inflammation and delivers localized miRNA therapy. The system successfully distinguished MMP-9 levels between healthy volunteers and patients with periodontal disease.
The Advanced Light Materials journal presents research on lightweight and multifunctional materials. Featured papers are now available online at ScienceDirect.
Research on British Risso's dolphins reveals they form a single genetic entity, separate from those in the Azores and Mediterranean. The study suggests these dolphins have been isolated for some time, but further research is needed to determine their boundaries.
A new study reveals that plants with similar volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles can detect and respond to defense signals from neighboring plants more effectively. This finding offers a potential roadmap for designing more pest-resilient agricultural systems by strategically pairing plant species based on their VOC profiles.
Researchers developed a system to convert CO2 from industrial emissions directly into carbon monoxide without purification. The process achieved almost 100% conversion selectivity and consumed less energy than existing technologies.
Researchers identified a key enzyme, CtUGT52, that drives hydroxysafflor yellow A biosynthesis in safflower. The discovery enables breeders to select for medicinal safflower lines and paves the way for industrial production of flavonoid glycosides.
The study proposes a new hypothesis on the evolutionary history of dinosaur digestive systems by analyzing gastrolith shapes and dietary proxies. Herbivorous dinosaurs likely possessed rounded gastroliths with severe abrasion, suggesting mechanical grinding of plant material within their stomachs.
A research team at KAIST has developed RL-SPH, a reinforcement-learning-based method that can independently generate feasible solutions satisfying all constraints. The technique achieved a 100% feasibility rate across five benchmarks, reducing the primal gap by an average of 28.6 times and improving search efficiency.
A new study reveals that the brain plays a crucial role in protecting fertility during heat stress by sending signals to reproductive cells. Researchers discovered an unexpected communication system between the brain and germline cells, showing how animals adjust reproduction when conditions become unfavorable.
A study found that frequent chemical exposure and low antioxidant intake are associated with increased health symptoms among young laboratory scientists. The researchers also discovered that stronger safety knowledge is linked to better protective practices.
A novel 'point-to-point adsorption' technique facilitates scalable fabrication of ordered gold nanoparticle arrays for next-generation data storage, resulting in superior device performance. The approach leverages self-assembly behavior of block copolymers to create templates for precisely positioning AuNPs.
A Singapore team developed a machine-learning tool that accurately predicts liver cancer recurrence after surgery, outperforming the TNM staging system. The tool identifies two biologically distinct patterns of recurrence, enabling personalized approaches to risk prediction and targeted therapies.
A prospective cohort study found a graded association between sarcopenia and infection risk, with stronger associations for respiratory infections and sepsis. Muscle health influences immune function through myokines and amino acid mobilization.
A study found that heavy drinking amplifies the risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity attributed to adverse childhood experiences in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. Individuals with high ACE exposure who engaged in heavy drinking had substantially higher risk compared to those who did not drink heavily.
High-resolution Solar Orbiter data detected abundant high-frequency magnetohydrodynamic waves in coronal plumes, with energy contributions similar to those of transverse Alfvénic waves. The findings provide crucial evidence for the role of these waves in coronal heating and solar wind acceleration.
Researchers develop a physics-informed neural network to simulate fluid-structure interaction for an Euler-Bernoulli beam under steady flow. The framework achieves accurate results even with sparse data, showing great potential as a data-efficient method for numerical simulation.
A new study found that cells of the same chronological age can follow dramatically different biological aging paths. Tissues become a mosaic of biologically younger and older cells, with some individual cells aging much faster than others.
