Injury or pain affects participation for one in five physically inactive women taking part in social sport, with those from lower-income households more likely to be injury-affected, new research from La Trobe University shows. Researchers surveyed more than 1,330 physically inac

According to a master's thesis at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), a mobile game can make physical activity more enjoyable. Two master's students investigated how the mobile game "BitPet" affects physical activity, motivation and social well-being. The t

A University of Alberta literacy expert has completed the largest reading intervention in Canadian history, tripling the rate of progress for most participants after just five months. Preliminary results show that about half of the children in the program require no further inter

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a catalyst that uses mechanical vibration to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an important chemical feedstock. The catalyst consists of barium titanate (BaTiO3) coated with a metal-organic framework (MOF

With Hong Kong recently recording record-breaking high temperatures, extreme weather has once again raised public awareness of global warming and emission-reduction measures. A large-scale international study led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has r

Researchers at Umeå University have developed a strategy to slow the growth of tumor cells. By targeting the genetic instructions that control the production of a key cancer-related protein, they were able to inhibit tumor cell growth. The findings are published in the Proceeding

It is commonly perceived that multitasking is highly inefficient, with the brain often "crashing" or scrambling when trying to do two things at once. A recent study by City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has uncovered the mechanism behind this, revealing how the brain dynamica

Researchers at the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM) at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston University (BU) have developed a scalable method for generating CD4+ helper T cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), overcoming a longstanding challenge in the develop

Some molecules come in two "handed" forms. This property, called chirality, can influence not only how molecules interact with light but also which electron spins they allow to pass. Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed novel chiral hole-transport materials that

How has offspring dependence on parents evolved over the course of evolution? Researchers at the University of Bayreuth, in collaboration with Kyoto University, Japan, have investigated one possible mechanism by studying the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. Their new stud

Just a few minutes of freezing and thawing can have a decisive impact on how ferrihydrite, the most reactive iron mineral in cold soils, permafrost and glaciers, transforms, according to researchers at Umeå University. As climate warming intensifies freeze-thaw cycles and extends

An AI assistant helped University of Colorado Boulder researchers solve a mathematical problem that had challenged their lab for a year and a half, though it made subtle errors along the way. The breakthrough could improve how scientists study nanoparticles—tiny particles about 1
