Breakthrough research sheds light on the hidden effects of stress on sperm

Sciencedaily.com 

A new study reveals that stress-induced changes in sperm motility occur after a stressful event, rather than during it and improves sperm performance. The discovery is essential in understanding how stress impacts the reproductive process to improve fetal development outcomes.

Unique nanodisk pushing photonic research forward

Sciencedaily.com 

Researchers have succeeded in combining two major research fields in photonics by creating a nano-object with unique optical qualities. Since the object is a thousand times thinner than the human hair, yet very powerful, the breakthrough has great potential in the development of efficient and compact nonlinear optical devices.

Prison guard shortfall makes it harder for inmates to get reprieve from extreme heat, critics say

«SFGate» (sfgate.com) 

A Texas judge is expected to rule soon on whether the state must embark on the costly project of installing air conditioning in all of its prisons. Texas inmates and nonprofit groups sued last year, asking an Austin judge to declare the conditions unconstitutional and require Texas to keep temperatures under 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Currently, 66% of Texas prison beds are not in air-conditioned areas. Attorneys for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice argue in court papers that the state provides... Читать дальше...

Researchers improve search for cancer drivers

Sciencedaily.com 

A computer algorithm can efficiently find genetic mutations that work together to drive cancer as well as other important genetic clues that researchers might someday use to develop new treatments for a variety of cancers. Researchers used a novel network computer model to find co-occurring mutations as well as other similarities among DNA sequence elements across several types of cancer. The model allows for easier searches for patterns in huge seas of cancer genetic data.

Advancing power grounding systems: A novel predictive model for soil resistivity

Sciencedaily.com 

For the design of reliable power grounding systems for critical electrical infrastructure, soil resistivity investigation is crucial. However, soil resistivity depends on various geotechnical properties, necessitating the need for robust assessment methods. In a new study, researchers conducted a comprehensive investigation into the behavior and relationships between soil resistivity and key geotechnical parameters and developed a predictive model based on their findings. This model can lead to cost-effective... Читать дальше...

Carbohydrate polymers could be a sweet solution for water purification

Sciencedaily.com 

Water polluted with heavy metals can pose a threat when consumed by humans and aquatic life. Sugar-derived polymers from plants remove these metals but often require other substances to adjust their stability or solubility in water. Now, researchers report a sugar-like polymer that traps heavy metals within insoluble clumps for easy removal. In proof-of-concept tests, the polymer removed ionic cadmium and lead from river water spiked with these persistent contaminants.

Microorganisms can travel long distances in the troposphere

Sciencedaily.com 

Analysis of air samples taken at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters above Japan has revealed the presence of a vast range of viable bacteria and fungi transported by air masses originating more than 2,000 kilometers away, in regions enriched with fertilizers and pesticides. The study reveals a new way in which human, animal and plant pathogens may travel to distant geographical regions.

Cooling positronium with lasers

Sciencedaily.com 

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an exotic atom composed of a single negative electron and a positively charged antimatter positron. It is naturally very short-lived, but researchers have now successfully cooled and slowed down samples of positronium using carefully tuned lasers. They hope this research will help others explore exotic forms of matter, and that such research might unlock the secrets of antimatter.

How the oceans' most abundant bacteria impact global nutrient flows

Sciencedaily.com 

If you were to collect all the organisms from the ocean surface down to 200 meters, you'd find that SAR11 bacteria, though invisible to the naked eye, would make up a fifth of the total biomass. These bacteria, also known as Pelagibacterales, have evolved to thrive in nutrient-poor marine environments and play a significant role in global nutrient cycles. Despite their importance, the mechanisms behind their impact on the planetary ecosystem have remained unclear. But now, a recent article sheds light on a crucial aspect of these bacteria.
