Medical Xpress / People consciously recognize the meaning of words they can no longer see, study finds
When humans are awake, they are typically aware of specific sounds, movements, objects and other stimuli in their surroundings. Most of these are stimuli that they can see, hear or perceive with any of their other senses.
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
Medical Xpress / MRI study finds evidence of ongoing neurodegeneration in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system, especially the optic nerves and spinal cord. These attacks, also known as flare-ups ...
Phys.org / Desert field test with NASA advanced rover prototype
A prototype four-wheel rover developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory with advanced mobility and robotic autonomy capabilities trundled across the Colorado Desert near Plaster City, California, during a field test in ...
Medical Xpress / Jobs with high exposure to low-level explosions associated with increased risk of anger and aggression
Careers that tend to expose people to repeated low-level shock waves are associated with a slightly higher risk of clinically documented anger, aggression and violence, new research from University of Utah Health has found.
Phys.org / NASA mission to study space weather impacts of Earth's atmosphere
NASA selected a mission concept to research how space weather and dynamics within Earth's atmosphere influence the space environment and help improve prediction capabilities for impacts on crucial technology, such as GPS ...
Medical Xpress / New tool maps how T cells move within tumors
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center led a study to develop a computational method that reveals how immune cells navigate the complex environment inside tumors, offering insights that could inform future cancer therapies. ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover 'hyperparasite' in Malaysia Borneo jungle
Malaysian scientists have discovered a new species of parasitic fungus in Borneo's jungles that preys on "zombie fungi" known to infect insects before subjecting them to a gruesome death.
Medical Xpress / Gene therapy shows promise in ARC syndrome, a deadly childhood liver disease
A new gene therapy has been used to successfully treat a deadly childhood liver disease in mice that model the disease, according to researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction and ...
Phys.org / Palm oil, coconut and soybean drive more species extinction than previously thought
Oils from crops such as coconut, palm oil and soybean are used in a range of applications, from cosmetics and makeup to margarine and spreads, and from medicines to animal feed. These oil crops, as they are known, are increasingly ...
Phys.org / Molecular simulations uncover why water nanodrops spread thin on hydrophilic surfaces
Why does water roll off a duck's back but spread on clean glass? For macroscopic (millimeter-scale) drops, this behavior can be explained using continuum theory. However, when nanoscale (10–9 mm) droplets spread on surfaces, ...
Phys.org / Ripple-like rings of the 'Bullseye galaxy' could be explained by dark matter
Two U.S. physicists have suggested that the nine concentric rings surrounding the galaxy LEDA 1313424, also known as the Bullseye galaxy, could have emerged through the quantum behavior of particles of dark matter. Through ...
