Medical Xpress / Psilocybin could reverse effects of brain injuries resulting from intimate partner violence, rat study finds
The term intimate partner violence (IPV) refers to physical, sexual or psychological abuse perpetrated by an individual on their romantic partner or spouse. Victims of IPV who are violently attacked and physically abused ...
Medical Xpress / Tracing schizophrenia's origins: Study maps chromatin accessibility in postmortem brain tissue
Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, false beliefs about oneself or the world (i.e., delusions), and other disruptions in thought, emotion and perception. Recent genetic studies ...
Phys.org / Raman quantum memory demonstrates near-unity performance
Over the past decades, quantum physicists and engineers have developed numerous technologies that harness the principles of quantum mechanics to push the boundaries of classical information science. Among these advances, ...
Medical Xpress / Neural 'barcodes': Intra-regional brain dynamics linked to person-specific characteristics
People can think, behave and function very differently. These observed differences are known to be the result of complex interactions between genetics, neurobiological processes and life experiences.
Tech Xplore / Nature-inspired navigation system helps robots traverse complex environments without GPS
Robots could soon be able to autonomously complete search and rescue missions, inspections, complex maintenance operations and various other real-world tasks. To do this, however, they should be able to smoothly navigate ...
Phys.org / Black hole mergers could give rise to observable gravitational-wave tails
Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively studied cosmological phenomena. Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that when two black ...
Phys.org / Unified model may explain vibrational anomalies in solids
Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by physicist Peter Debye in 1912, describes the contribution of phonons to the specific heat of materials ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered RNA molecule could limit protein aggregation and prevent neuronal damage
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss of neurons and a decline in brain function. Past studies have found a link between these diseases ...
Tech Xplore / Porous separators boost efficiency of electrolyzers for carbon monoxide reduction
Electrolyzers, devices that use electricity to drive desired chemical reactions, could enable the production of clean hydrogen (H2) gas from water (H2O) and the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels or industrial ...
Phys.org / On-chip cryptographic protocol lets quantum computers self-verify results amid hardware noise
Quantum computers, machines that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some optimization tasks and computations. Despite their potential, quantum computers are ...
Medical Xpress / White matter connections may drive adolescent cognitive gains, study suggests
Adolescence, the life stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood, is known to be a vital period for the brain's development. During this critical phase, people's mental abilities, including their problem-solving ...
Phys.org / New AI framework can uncover space physics equations in raw data
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for uncovering patterns in large amounts of data that would otherwise be difficult to detect. Over the ...
Phys.org / Spins influence solid oxygen's crystal structure under extreme magnetic fields, study finds
Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla (T), spins (i.e., intrinsic ...
Tech Xplore / New holography-inspired reconfigurable surface developed for wireless communication
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are engineered structures comprised of several elements known as 'meta-atoms,' which can reshape and control electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces could contribute to ...
Medical Xpress / Coordinated brain network activity during emotional arousal may explain vivid, lasting memories
Past psychology studies suggest that people tend to remember emotional events, such as their wedding, the birth of a child or traumatic experiences, more vividly than neutral events, such as a routine professional meeting. ...
