Science X / This widely used PCOS supplement shows promise for fertility, but the evidence isn't settled
For women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the journey to fertility can be difficult. But what if a simple, natural supplement could provide a big boost? This hopeful question has focused attention on myo-inositol, ...
Phys.org / A cataclysmic collision in space provides new clues on astronomy's biggest stalemate
Second only to black holes, neutron stars—incredibly dense star remnants—are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time that we can detect on Earth.
Tech Xplore / New smart bicycle can tell when riders mean to turn—and when they may be falling
Two-wheeled vehicles with conventional stability-control systems must lean to change direction, making it difficult for rider-assistance systems to determine whether a rider is intentionally cornering or experiencing instability ...
Medical Xpress / Cryo-EM helps identify the mechanisms of dental plaque formation
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). In Japan alone, approximately 80% of adults 30 and older are affected or considered ...
Phys.org / New research reveals the motivations and tactics used by call center fraudsters
A new study led by the University of Portsmouth lifts the lid on the tactics used by call center fraudsters in India, while revealing the shocking scale of the industry within the country. Published in the Journal of White ...
Medical Xpress / Repurposed epilepsy drug could be used to boost vaccine protection among elderly
A drug commonly used to treat epilepsy could be repurposed to significantly boost the response to vaccines in humans, helping protect those for whom the vaccine is less effective, such as older adults or immunocompromised ...
Tech Xplore / LiDAR approach could change factory inspections for tiny hard-to-reach parts
Researchers have developed a new LiDAR approach that makes it possible to image small objects with much greater precision and accuracy than conventional LiDAR. The method could be useful for acquiring noncontact measurements ...
Phys.org / Scientists teach human cells to compute like tiny computers
Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how computer chips work.
Phys.org / New way to clean up environmental pollution using phage bioaugmentation
The ability of bacteria to remove pollutants from soil, water, mine waste and other environments could be supercharged by a "friendly" compatible virus, according to a study led by Flinders University. The new insights, published ...
Phys.org / Nearby 'Super Earth' may be a better candidate for life than previously thought
Using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope at McDonald Observatory, astronomers have taken a closer look at a nearby exoplanet and discovered it may be more Earth-like than previously thought. The planet, known as GJ 3378b, orbits ...
Medical Xpress / Training gains momentum as senior nutrition workforce faces growing demand
As the nation's older adult population climbs at one of the fastest rates in U.S. history, a new study from Iowa State University researchers points to a growing strain on the workforce responsible for feeding seniors—and ...
Tech Xplore / Smart clothing for blind travelers
Researchers have developed a prototype of intelligent, or "smart," clothing designed to improve the safety of blind and visually impaired people by combining embedded electronics with sensors that detect hazards, falls and ...
