Medical Xpress / Therapeutic outcomes for autistic adults: Exploring factors that shape anxiety and depression trajectories
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by differences in social interactions and in the understanding of others' thoughts or feelings, restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. ASD can ...
Tech Xplore / Atom-thin ferroelectric transistor can store 3,024 polarization states
Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new neuromorphic hardware, systems that mirror the organization of neurons in the human brain. These systems could run artificial intelligence (AI) ...
Tech Xplore / Redesigned electrolyte helps lithium-metal batteries safely reach full charge in 15 minutes
Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are rechargeable batteries that contain an anode (i.e., the electrode through which current flows and a loss of electrons occurs) made of lithium metal. Compared to conventional lithium-ion ...
Tech Xplore / Water-based electrolyte helps create safer and long-lasting Zn-Mn batteries
Many countries worldwide are increasingly investing in new infrastructure that enables the production of electricity from renewable energy sources, particularly wind and sunlight. To make the best of these energy solutions, ...
Medical Xpress / Single DMT dose treats stress-induced depression more effectively than Prozac in mice
Psychedelics are psychoactive substances that trigger unusual mental states, also referred to as "trips," altering the perceptions, thoughts, and emotions of those taking them and typically inducing hallucinations. Over the ...
Phys.org / NOvA maps neutrino oscillations over 500 miles with 10 years of data
Neutrinos are very small, neutral subatomic particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter and are thus sometimes referred to as ghost particles. There are three known types (i.e., flavors) of neutrinos, dubbed muon, ...
Phys.org / Experiment relies on pulsars to probe dark matter waves
Dark matter is a type of matter that is predicted to make up most of the matter in the universe, yet it is very difficult to detect using conventional experimental techniques, as it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. ...
Medical Xpress / Structural differences found in brains of people with panic disorder
Panic disorder (PD) is a mental health disorder characterized by recurring panic attacks, episodes of intense fear and anxiety accompanied by physical sensations and physiological responses such as a racing heart, shortness ...
Medical Xpress / Stimulating the central thalamus during anesthesia sheds light on neural basis of consciousness
The brains of mammals continuously combine signals originating from different regions to produce various sensations, emotions, thoughts and behaviors. This process, known as information integration, is what allows brain regions ...
Medical Xpress / One-third of dementia cases are linked to non brain-related diseases, study finds
Dementia is a term used to describe memory loss, impaired reasoning, difficulties communicating and other mental impairments that can be caused by Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative disease, strokes, severe infections, ...
Phys.org / Ultra-thin metasurface can generate and direct quantum entanglement
Quantum technologies, devices and systems that process, store, detect, or transfer information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential to outperform classical technologies in a variety of tasks. An ongoing ...
Medical Xpress / Anticipating aging-related mental decline using saliva samples and AI
As humans age beyond early adulthood, their physical and mental functions tend to slowly worsen over time. One of the most common sources of severe mental decline in older adults are neurodegenerative diseases, conditions ...
Phys.org / Imaging the Wigner crystal state in a new type of quantum material
In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons. So far, the Wigner ...
Medical Xpress / Exposing a 'mental trap': The hidden bias behind chronic indecision
Humans are required to make several decisions daily, from choosing what to eat at a restaurant to more crucial choices, such as the studies they wish to complete.
Tech Xplore / Training four-legged robots as if they were dogs
Over the next decades, robots are expected to make their way into a growing number of households, public spaces, and professional environments. Many of the most advanced and promising robots designed to date are so-called ...
