Medical Xpress / Why multitasking still fails: Study shows brain can't fully do two tasks at once, even with extensive practice
Even with highly extensive training, the human brain is not really capable of performing two tasks simultaneously. Moreover, even the smallest deviations from trained routines can have a significant impact on how quickly ...
Medical Xpress / Robots vs. therapists: Live experiment tests AI's ability to give relationship advice
Can artificial intelligence offer meaningful relationship advice, or do human therapists still provide something machines cannot replicate? Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics recently explored ...
Tech Xplore / Facing the music: Detecting dangerous driving through AI facial analysis
Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing new technology that could change how drunk and dangerous drivers are identified. Using a single 3D deep learning model, researchers are able to detect three major ...
Phys.org / Researchers mix X-rays and optical light to track speedy electrons in materials
To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to understand how the valence electrons within materials respond to light at the atomic scale. Materials ...
Tech Xplore / New 'renewable' benchmark streamlines LLM jailbreak safety tests with minimal human effort
As new large language models, or LLMs, are rapidly developed and deployed, existing methods for evaluating their safety and discovering potential vulnerabilities quickly become outdated. To identify safety issues before they ...
Medical Xpress / Aging may change lung cancer treatment: Targeting ATF4 could curb metastasis
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a protein linked to an increased risk of metastasis and recurrence in lung cancer. The findings are presented in a study published in the journal Nature that paves ...
Phys.org / Microplastic biofilms carry genes that could alter nutrient cycling in estuaries
A study led by William & Mary's Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences & VIMS and published in FEMS Microbiology Ecology reveals that microbial communities growing on microplastics in the Chesapeake Bay carry the genetic ...
Medical Xpress / A 3D printable scaffold to support fast bone growth
A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows promise for bone repair applications.
Medical Xpress / People with HIV did not show more severe clinical symptoms during the 2022 mpox outbreak in Spain
People affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, did not develop more severe forms of mpox than HIV-negative people during the multiregional outbreak of this disease that occurred in Spain in 2022. ...
Medical Xpress / Fructose-fed mice with low testosterone gained liver weight, but antibiotics blunted it
Low testosterone in itself can cause a variety of health problems, but the addition of a poor diet can exacerbate certain conditions. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is one example that approximately ...
Medical Xpress / Could a hot cup of matcha dial down the 'sneeze switch' in allergic rhinitis?
There's now another reason to love Japan's famous matcha: A study in mice suggests that the green tea powder could reduce the need to sneeze in people with nasal allergies.
Medical Xpress / Three-year study tracks early Parkinson's decline using wearables and patient reports
A new study in the Journal of Neurology offers critical longitudinal insights into how symptoms and functional impacts evolve for individuals with early Parkinson's disease (PD). Led by Jamie Adams, M.D. and Jennifer Mammen, ...
