Phys.org / Fairer disaster aid arrives just as fast with a new routing algorithm
Researchers from Koç University and international collaborators have developed a new algorithm that enables faster and more equitable distribution of disaster relief supplies. By integrating fairness directly into logistics ...
Medical Xpress / Combination treatment could be safer, more effective for drug overdoses involving severe agitation
A team of Marshall University researchers has published a new study suggesting a potential breakthrough in how doctors manage severe agitation caused by methamphetamine and/or cocaine use, particularly in cases in which opioids ...
Phys.org / Universal patterns emerge across 22 languages, mapping how vocabularies evolve
Human languages are known to have grown and changed considerably over the course of history, often reflecting technological, cultural, and societal shifts. Studying the evolution of languages can thus offer valuable insight ...
Phys.org / Two blazing quasars caught waltzing into a merger
Astronomers, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), have confirmed the existence of a close quasar pair housed in a pair of merging galaxies seen when the universe was less than a billion years old, ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain replays past emotional experiences during sleep
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to uncover the neural processes that allow humans and various other animals to recall emotional experiences of past events. Past studies have identified a network of brain regions ...
Phys.org / Why did Clovis toolmakers choose difficult quartz crystal? New study offers clues
Quartz crystals are difficult to knap due to size, hardness, and crystalline structure, making them a "low-quality" raw material. However, the Clovis people of North America sometimes made points and other tools from this ...
Phys.org / Deep under Antarctic ice, a long-predicted cosmic whisper finally breaks through in 13 strange bursts
A detector buried deep in Antarctic ice has captured the first experimental evidence of a predicted but never-before-seen phenomenon: radio pulses generated when high-energy cosmic rays slam into the ice sheet and trigger ...
Phys.org / AI-enhanced microscopy produces crisp, real-time video inside live cells
Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the inner workings of living cells in real time. The process both captures images that are twice as sharp ...
Medical Xpress / How creative therapy may help rewire the ADHD brain
How can ADHD be both a source of daily struggle for millions and a common trait among highly accomplished artists and innovators like Justin Timberlake and Simone Biles? The science behind this paradox is the focus of new ...
Tech Xplore / Water-based zinc batteries tackle a barrier that has long blocked cheap, stable renewable energy storage
Renewable energy technologies, such as solar cells and wind turbines, are becoming increasingly widespread in many countries worldwide. Reliably storing the electricity produced by these devices, so that it can be used later ...
Medical Xpress / Antibodies can selectively shut down harmful T cells without weakening whole immune system
The immune system is the frontline protection against infection, continually searching for and destroying unknown pathogens. While typical operation of the immune system scans for threats, some systems attack the body's own ...
Phys.org / Crab shell by-products could help regulate the marine lifetime of biodegradable plastics
Biodegradable plastics hold potential for reducing marine plastic pollution, but degrade too quickly, limiting their practical use. Researchers from Gunma University now show that crab shell by-products can reduce the breakdown ...
