Scientists make dark exciton states shine, unlocking new frontiers for nanotechnology
2025-11-12
New York, November 12, 2025 — A research team at the City University of New York and the University of Texas at Austin has discovered a way to make previously hidden states of light, known as dark excitons, shine brightly, and control their emission at the nanoscale. Their findings, published today in Nature Photonics, open the door to faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient technologies.
Dark excitons are exotic light-matter states in atomically thin semiconductors that typically remain invisible because they emit light very weakly. These states, however, are highly ...
Glenn Foundation for Medical Research grant programs provide $2.25 million in support for postdoctoral investigators and junior faculty
2025-11-12
NEW YORK, NY and SANTA BARBARA, CA — The American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) and the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research (GFMR) are pleased to announce the 2025 recipients of the Grants for Junior Faculty, Postdoctoral Fellowships in Aging Research, and Postdoctoral Fellowship Continuation Awards. Selected through rigorous review processes led by scientific committees of esteemed leaders in aging ...
The mechanisms behind thrombocytopenia in patients with portal hypertension and chronic liver disease
2025-11-12
Chronic liver disease (CLD) and its advanced stage, cirrhosis, represent a significant global health burden, with portal hypertension (PH) being a primary driver of disease progression and decompensation. A hallmark of this condition is thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count ≤150,000/μL, which is present in 64–77% of cirrhotic patients. This hematological abnormality is not merely a laboratory finding but a distinctive sign of PH and a component of prognostic risk scores for adverse liver outcomes. This essay elucidates the multifactorial ...
SwRI uses machine learning to calibrate emissions control systems faster, more efficiently
2025-11-12
SAN ANTONIO — November 12, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a method to automate the calibration of heavy-duty diesel truck emissions control systems using machine learning and algorithm-based optimization. The latest diesel aftertreatment systems often take weeks to calibrate. SwRI’s new method can calibrate them in as little as two hours.
“Manually calibrating selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems is labor-intensive, often taking six or more weeks of testing and work,” said Venkata Chundru, senior research engineer in SwRI’s Advanced ...
Blood test offers hope for more effective ovarian cancer treatment
2025-11-12
More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer globally each year.
The four-year clinical trial across 15 Australian hospitals – known as SOLACE2 – was co-led by the University of Sydney NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, RMIT University and WEHI, and coordinated by the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG).
The Phase II trial tested strategies for priming the immune system to enhance the effectiveness of PARP inhibitor therapy, which stops cancer cells from repairing their own damaged DNA by blocking the PARP enzyme.
It was during this trial that a new companion blood test for women with ovarian cancer was also ...
Pain during a C-section? New study challenges fears about general anesthesia
2025-11-12
PHILADELPHIA—Regional anesthesia—typically with a spinal or epidural block—has long been favored for cesarean births due in part to concerns about the effects that general anesthesia may have on newborns during labor and delivery. Powerful societal pressures also push the idea that mothers need to be awake during delivery to witness the first cry and capture the ‘perfect’ birth moment. But for some women who undergo a cesarean birth, the pain can become excruciating, even after they received a spinal or epidural block. Now, new research from a team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the ...
New study identifies overlooked tool for menopause symptom relief
2025-11-12
A new study from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, published in journal Menopause, finds self-pleasure is a valuable care strategy for managing menopause symptoms, especially mood and sleep changes. Most women are open to trying it, yet few say their doctors have ever mentioned it.
Researchers surveyed a demographically representative sample of 1,178 women ages 40 to 65 in the United States about their experiences with menopause and the effectiveness of their current symptom management strategies including hormone therapy, supplements, lifestyle factors, and sexual pleasure, among others.
Almost 14% of perimenopausal women reported using regular masturbation ...

‘Cool’ signs based on a new colorful, flexible electronic display technology
2025-11-12
Electronic signs are all around us, giving directions or advertising the latest gadget. In ACS Energy Letters, researchers report that they’ve developed a dynamic display technology that dissipates heat instead of generating it when the color changes, cooling the surface underneath. They also showed the display could be attached to flexible backings and wrapped over skin. The passive cooling mechanism could usher in the next generation of sustainable, flexible outdoor signs and smart devices.
“The technology could be used on building billboards to show ads and also help passively cool a building’s ...
Bees thrive in overlooked pockets of Puget Sound
2025-11-12
PULLMAN, Wash. -- To the casual observer, it’s nothing more than an abandoned golf course.
But the land, along with other weedy, minimally maintained “marginal lands” in the Puget Sound area, is home to scores of wild bee species, including many never found before in Snohomish and King counties, according to a seven-year study by Washington State University researchers and others.
The survey of bees at three plots of land near airports and beneath power lines adds to the evidence that small corners of largely untended land can sustain bee populations amid the concrete and asphalt landscape of cities ...
