Medical Xpress / Your phone already sees the warning signs: Sleep, movement and mood data can spot depression early
Depression is among the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, affecting an estimated 1 in 20 people. It is characterized by persistent sadness, hopelessness, disrupted sleep patterns, changes in appetite and ...
Phys.org / HydroGraphNet boosts watershed predictions of daily flow and nitrogen in sparse data regions
Spatially distributed prediction of streamflow and nitrogen (N) export dynamics is essential for precision management of agricultural watersheds. While temporal deep learning models have shown strong basin-scale performance, ...
Phys.org / Medicine's next leap: Delivering gene therapies exactly where they're needed
A quiet revolution is underway in modern medicine: Drug development is aiming to move from managing disease to correcting it through RNA and gene-editing therapies. But delivering these treatments safely and precisely to ...
Medical Xpress / Cutting calories to slow aging—without compromising health
Restricting calorie intake in species such as mice, rhesus monkeys, and fruit flies has been shown to extend their lifespans. In some cases, these animals not only live longer, but are also free of disease. But when pushed ...
Phys.org / Monkeys navigate a virtual forest with thought alone, pushing brain-computer interfaces beyond the lab
As a part of a study testing out a new type of implanted brain-computer interface (BCI), three rhesus monkeys controlled movements in a virtual reality (VR) world using only brain signals. The study, published in Science ...
Medical Xpress / CRISPR takes a bold leap toward silencing Down syndrome's extra chromosome
Scientists have taken an important step toward a gene therapy that could one day turn off the extra genetic material that causes Down syndrome (DS). Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome 21 (and ...
Phys.org / Ancient Maya droughts may have been fueled by Earth's own climate swings
Dramatic droughts linked to the decline of the Classic Maya civilization approximately 800 to 1000 CE may not have required any external trigger, according to a new climate modeling study. Instead, they could have emerged ...
Phys.org / Two bacteria join forces to turn chemical signals into electricity, opening up low-cost sensing options
Bacterial sensors usually rely on emitting light to transfer information about what they're sensing, but that method isn't practical in many settings. That's why most information transmission is done via electricity. And ...
Medical Xpress / A major pregnancy scare collapses: Tylenol shows no autism risk in more than 1.5 million children
Acetaminophen, which also goes by names like paracetamol or Tylenol, is a common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. It is often prescribed during pregnancy to help with mild to moderate pain. Recently, there ...
Phys.org / A monster black hole appeared first, then its galaxy began to grow around it
Using observations gathered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers have revealed that one supermassive black hole in the early universe must have formed before a galaxy developed around ...
Phys.org / Machine learning detects more than 60,000 earthquakes during 2025 Santorini sequence
The seismic crisis that gripped the Greek island of Santorini and its neighbors in 2025 contained more than 60,000 earthquakes, according to a unique machine learning study that identified the earthquakes as they occurred ...
Phys.org / Astronomers reveal always-changing multi-planet system
Astronomers at The University of New Mexico have published new research confirming three bodies orbiting the dynamic exoplanet system TOI-201. They include a super-Earth (TOI-201 d), a warm Jupiter (TOI-201 b), and a brown ...
