Phys.org / Engineered exosomes reverse sleep deprivation brain damage in mice
Sleep is a vital physiological process that allows humans and other animals to restore both the mind and body, while also consolidating memories, clearing out toxins and regulating their metabolism. Several past studies showed ...
Science X / Dinosaurs had company in the dark: Amber fossil reveals an ancient glow that lit Cretaceous nights
Forget what you thought you knew about fireflies. A remarkable discovery reveals their iconic glow was already lighting up the world when dinosaurs still roamed.
Phys.org / Bright blazar reveals 433-day optical quasi-periodic oscillation across nine years
By analyzing the data from the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT), an international team of astronomers has discovered optical quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in a bright quasar known as 3C 454.3. It is so far one of the ...
Phys.org / Scientists use AI to interpret the sun's acoustic heartbeat
A new AI-based approach that can "hear" inside the sun could give vital signs of the solar disturbances that have significant effects in near-Earth space and on human activities. The solar cycle is an approximate 11-year ...
Medical Xpress / AI chatbot shows promise in combating health misinformation
Can AI help people resist misinformation? Initial research findings suggest that artificial intelligence-driven conversations can strengthen people's resilience to health misinformation, outperforming traditional educational ...
Phys.org / Why do brown bats stop feeding during fireworks?
Firework shows are controversial in this day and age. While beautiful, fireworks are loud, bright, and smoky, and they can be dangerous to the surrounding environment, releasing contaminants into the air and frightening both ...
Phys.org / 'Implosion carving' shrinks 3D photonic devices 2,000-fold for visible-light computing
Using a new technique that can create vacancies at any site across a material and then shrink it to about 1/2,000 of its original volume, MIT researchers have designed nanotechnology devices that could be used for optical ...
Tech Xplore / This tiny thermal barcode flips invisible heat like pixels—and opens a door to something far bigger
A Carnegie Mellon University research team has developed a pioneering technology that manipulates thermal radiation with the precision of pixels. The work, published in Science Advances, outlines a method for "digitizing ...
Medical Xpress / Ivermectin prescriptions more than double after celebrity endorses it as a cancer treatment on a high-profile podcast
Prescriptions for the anti-parasite medication ivermectin doubled in the months following an endorsement by a celebrity during a high-profile podcast as an off-label cancer treatment, a UCLA-led study finds.
Tech Xplore / Smart AI gives electric vehicle batteries 23% longer life—without increasing the charging time
Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast ...
Phys.org / New quantum protocol breaks distance and speed barriers in fiber networks
Scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China have successfully deployed a multi-mode quantum relay network, achieving matter–matter entanglement over 14.5 kilometers, according to media reports.
Phys.org / Digital inclusion funding misses mark
Millions across Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania remain locked out of meaningful digital participation and from the digital services that increasingly shape everyday life, despite two decades of investment. A new study ...
