Medical Xpress / Brain network identified for effective treatment of Parkinson's disease
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease by modulating a specific brain network that is mainly active in the fast beta frequency range (20 to 35 Hz). This conclusion was reached by an interdisciplinary ...
Phys.org / Dark matter, not a black hole, could power Milky Way's heart
Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They believe this invisible substance—which ...
Medical Xpress / What our teeth reveal about the growing gap between rich and poor
Teeth are one of the most visible markers of poverty: structural circumstances that are individually borne.
Phys.org / Did we just see a black hole explode? Physicists think so—and it could explain (almost) everything
In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe capable of producing such ...
Phys.org / Polarstern heads to the Weddell Sea to probe Antarctica's sharp sea ice drop
With the departure of the research vessel Polarstern from Punta Arenas (Chile) scheduled for this weekend, the "Summer Weddell Sea Outflow Study" (SWOS) international expedition will commence. Up to early April, a multidisciplinary ...
Medical Xpress / FDA makes it easier for foods to say 'no artificial colors'
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will now allow food labels to claim products have "no artificial colors" as long as they avoid petroleum-based dyes.
Medical Xpress / Stopping COPD inhalers can lead to higher risk of flare-ups for 3 months
Stopping long-acting inhalers for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to a sharp rise in flare-ups for about three months, a new study has revealed. This research by The University of Manchester and Manchester ...
Phys.org / A 'crazy' dice proof leads to a new understanding of a fundamental law of physics
Right now, molecules in the air are moving around you in chaotic and unpredictable ways. To make sense of such systems, physicists use a law known as the Boltzmann distribution, which, rather than describe exactly where each ...
Medical Xpress / Multi-stage dual-domain progressive network enhances sparse-view CT reconstruction
A research team led by Professor Wang Hongzhi from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a multi-stage, dual-domain, progressive network with synergistic training for sparse-view ...
Medical Xpress / California state court judges found to have gaps in their understanding of autism
A new study identifies significant gaps in judges' knowledge about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which can lead to inequities in how people with this disorder are treated in legal settings. The study recommends remedies ...
Phys.org / SpaceX seeks FCC nod to build data center constellation in space
SpaceX is requesting permission to launch as many as 1 million satellites into the Earth's orbit in order to pull off Elon Musk's latest grand vision of putting data centers in space to do complex computing for artificial ...
Medical Xpress / Is Charlotte at risk for bigger measles outbreak as cases climb in the Carolinas?
The spread of a highly contagious disease is creeping into the Charlotte region. But experts say there are steps the community can take to prevent the kind of widespread outbreaks springing up in other parts of the country.
