Preliminary research suggests that higher than normal levels of the protein albumin in urine is associated with an increased risk for blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or lungs (venous thromboembolism; VTE).
A recently discovered hydrogen-rich compound may help overcome one of the biggest hurdles to using hydrogen for fuel — namely, how do you stuff enough hydrogen into a volume small enough to be practical for powering a car? The newly discovered material is a form of ammonia borane. Working at high pressure in an atmosphere [...]

A material that is a hundred thousand times heavier than water and more dense than the core of the Sun is being produced at a university. The scientists working with this material are aiming for an energy process that is both more sustainable and less damaging to the environment than the nuclear power used today.

By lending them a gene normally reserved for other classes of animals, researchers have shown they can rescue flies from their Parkinson’s-like symptoms, including movement defects and excess free radicals produced in power-generating cellular components called mitochondria. The gene swap also protects healthy flies’ mitochondria, and to a large extent the flies themselves, from the [...]
