Medical Xpress / People on Ozempic who eat to regulate emotions less likely to lose weight, research reveals
GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic can be a lifeline for people with diabetes—helping stabilize blood glucose and lose weight, which contributes to diabetes complications. But not everyone benefits equally.
Medical Xpress / AI algorithm turns mammograms into a 'two-for-one' test for women's heart health
An AI algorithm based only on routine mammogram images plus age can predict a woman's risk of major cardiovascular disease as well as standard risk assessment methods, finds research published online in the journal Heart.
Phys.org / DNA from our ancient Denisovan ancestors may protect us from some tropical diseases
Malaria is one of the world's most widespread and deadliest parasitic diseases. But some people may have natural protection thanks to DNA inherited from an extinct group of archaic humans known as the Denisovans. New research ...
Phys.org / Oysters might offer a way to remove more carbon from the ocean while providing a sustainable food source
Many researchers are looking toward aquaculture as a way to reduce carbon, while also producing food. Yet, in some cases, it is unclear whether these methods offer a way to reduce carbon or if they're just another source ...
Phys.org / Evidence of cosmic impact discovered at classic Clovis archaeological sites
Researchers continue to build on a body of evidence for a fragmented comet that is thought to have exploded over Earth almost 13,000 years ago, which may have had a role in the disappearance of mammoths, mastodons and most ...
Phys.org / New images reveal unexpected polarization flips near M87's supermassive black hole
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, with a substantial contribution from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR), has unveiled new, detailed images of the supermassive black hole at the center of ...
Tech Xplore / Bending salty ice could be a power source of the future
For most of us, ice is a hazard. Whether it's making roads dangerously slippery or covering our sidewalks, this frozen form of water is something we often try to avoid. Yet, a discovery suggests that bending ice and adding ...
Phys.org / Researchers trace genetic code's origins to early protein structures
Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is?
Medical Xpress / The Rumpelstiltskin effect as a therapeutic intervention
James Madison University and Case Western Reserve University researchers describe a phenomenon they term the Rumpelstiltskin effect, in which the act of receiving a clinical diagnosis itself produces therapeutic benefit independent ...
Phys.org / Electrical flash method rapidly purifies red mud into strong ceramics, aluminum feedstock
A team of researchers at Rice University has developed a faster and cleaner method for recovering aluminum and removing toxic metals from bauxite residue, or red mud, which is a hazardous by-product of aluminum production.
Phys.org / Machine learning unravels quantum atomic vibrations in materials
Caltech scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)–based method that dramatically speeds up calculations of the quantum interactions that take place in materials. In new work, the group focuses on interactions ...
Phys.org / Ancient Sogdian mural depicts unique fire worship scene
In 2022–2023, a wall mural depicting a procession of priests walking toward a stationary fire altar was recovered at the Royal Palace at Sanjar-Shar.
