Solar Orbiter traces superfast electrons back to Sun

2025-09-01

The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter mission has split the flood of energetic particles flung out into space from the Sun into two groups, tracing each back to a different kind of outburst from our star. The Sun is the most energetic particle accelerator in the Solar System. It whips up electrons to nearly the speed of light and flings them out into space, flooding the Solar System with so-called ‘Solar Energetic Electrons’ (SEEs). Researchers have now used Solar Orbiter to pinpoint the source of these energetic electrons and trace what we see out in space back to what’s actually ...

GaN-based electron beam technology from Nagoya University startup poised to overcome critical semiconductor manufacturing challenges at KIOXIA

2025-09-01

NAGOYA, Japan — In late September 2025, KIOXIA Iwate Corporation (Koichiro Shibayama CEO) will begin evaluating a GaN-based e-beam technology developed through joint research between Photo electron Soul Inc. (PeS; Takayuki Suzuki CEO), a Nagoya University startup, and the Amano–Honda Laboratory at Nagoya University. PeS has developed a next-generation electron gun specialized for GaN (gallium nitride) photocathodes and has demonstrated its effectiveness for semiconductor inspection and metrology (I&M), enabling electron microscopy of nanoscale transistors and high-aspect-ratio structures. These ...

Circle versus rectangle: Finding ‘Earth 2.0’ may be easier using a new telescope shape

2025-09-01

by Prof Heidi Newberg The Earth supports the only known life in the universe, all of it depending heavily on the presence of liquid water to facilitate chemical reactions. While single-celled life has existed almost as long as the Earth itself, it took roughly three billion years for multicellular life to form. Human life has existed for less than one 10 thousandth of the age of the Earth. All of this suggests that life might be common on planets that support liquid water, but it might be uncommon to find life that studies the universe and seeks to travel ...

Metformin changes blood metal levels in humans

2025-09-01

The widely used diabetes drug metformin changes blood metal levels in humans. The Kobe University study is an important step in understanding the drug’s many actions and designing better ones in the future. Metformin is the most widely prescribed diabetes drug in the world. Apart from lowering blood sugar levels, it is also known to have a broad range of beneficial side effects such as against tumors, inflammations and atherosclerosis. However, although it has been used for more than 60 years ...

Long-term anticoagulation discontinuation after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

2025-08-31

About The Study: Among patients without documented atrial arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, discontinuing oral anticoagulant therapy resulted in a lower risk for the composite outcome of stroke, systemic embolism, and major bleeding vs continuing direct oral anticoagulant therapy.

Fractional flow reserve–guided complete vs culprit-only revascularization in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease

2025-08-31

About The Study: Fractional flow reserve-guided complete revascularization during the index procedure resulted in a significant reduction in the composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, any revascularization, and stroke at 1 year. This was mainly driven by reduced repeat revascularization. Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Tobias F. S. Pustjens, MD, email t.pustjens@gmail.com.

Participation of women in cardiovascular trials from 2017 to 2023

2025-08-31

About The Study: The findings of this study highlight both progress and persistent challenges in representation of women within cardiovascular trials. These gaps not only limit the generalizability of trial outcomes but also perpetuate inequities in evidence-based care for women with cardiovascular conditions.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

2025-08-31

About The Study: In patients with cardiometabolic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, semaglutide and tirzepatide showed more than 40% risk reduction for the composite of hospitalization for heart failure or all-cause mortality compared with a placebo proxy. Tirzepatide showed no meaningful benefit over semaglutide. Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Nils Krüger, MD, email nkruger1@bwh.harvard.edu.

Changes in biology of internal fat may be the leading cause of heart failure

2025-08-31

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) appears to develop as a result of changes in the biology of a person’s internal fat tissue, according to the Adipokine Hypothesis, a new way of understanding how fat may impact the heart. The hypothesis paper was published today in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, and is being presented at ESC Congress 2025. The author of the paper is Milton Packer, MD, FACC, Distinguished Scholar in Cardiovascular Science at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and Visiting Professor at Imperial College in London. “Up ...

Transcatheter or surgical treatment of patients with aortic stenosis at low to intermediate risk

2025-08-30

About The Study: In this individual participant data meta-analysis of 4 randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and an overall meta-analysis of 8 RCTs of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis at low to intermediate risk, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was associated with a reduction in the 1-year incidence of all-cause death or any stroke. These findings emphasize TAVI as alternative option in patients at low to intermediate risk. Long-term follow-up is warranted to evaluate sustainability of these findings.
