Medical Xpress / VR could reduce anxiety for people undergoing medical procedures
Using virtual reality (VR) to explain what to expect ahead of a medical procedure could help patients better understand their treatment and reduce anxiety, a new study suggests. The research was presented at the European ...
Tech Xplore / Why low-frequency spectrum is emerging as a quiet contender for future networks
While the world sprints toward ever faster mobile speeds, another connectivity story is quietly unfolding at the opposite end of the dial. Low-frequency spectrum—the radio bands below one gigahertz (GHz)—is emerging as ...
Phys.org / NASA clears its Artemis moon rocket for an April launch with four astronauts following repairs
NASA cleared its moon rocket on Thursday for an April launch with four astronauts after completing the latest round of repairs.
Phys.org / Specialist resource centers linked to stronger sense of belonging, attainment for autistic pupils
Specialist resource centers (a form of "Inclusion Base") within mainstream secondary schools may be linked to stronger academic progress, improved attendance, and a greater sense of belonging for autistic pupils, according ...
Phys.org / How semiconductor electrodes can achieve green hydrogen production
Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) have led an international collaboration to study how semiconductor materials enable the production of green hydrogen through (photo)electrochemistry. Novel atomic-level ...
Medical Xpress / Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia and mortality among men, but not women
The loss of a spouse is an incredibly emotional and stressful experience, and as populations continue to live longer lives, more couples will experience this distress. But spousal bereavement appears to affect genders differently, ...
Medical Xpress / Differences in early Alzheimer's brain markers across diverse populations appear in advanced PET brain scans
A team of researchers at the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has identified important differences in how early Alzheimer's disease-related ...
Phys.org / Deep underground, a telescope may soon detect ghosts of stars that died before Earth existed
Imagine looking up at the night sky and seeing a star suddenly burst into a blaze of light brighter than anything nearby. A flash so bright that it briefly outshines an entire galaxy before fading forever.
Medical Xpress / Why pandemic-era patients broke surgical AI forecasts, and what changed next
Washington University in St. Louis researchers and clinicians have been incorporating data from Fitbit wristbands into machine-learning models that could predict surgical outcomes, pain after surgery and potential mental ...
Phys.org / Asymmetric spin torque unlocks deterministic control of antiferromagnetic memory
A research team led by Prof. Shao Dingfu from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has proposed a universal mechanism that enables deterministic electrical control of collinear antiferromagnets—overcoming ...
Tech Xplore / Robots that learn everyday tasks can free humans from repetitive work
A robot task AI capable of learning and performing everyday repetitive tasks in a human-like manner has been developed. The AI learns tasks through human demonstrations and executes complex tasks step by step based on a hierarchical ...
Medical Xpress / We study pandemics, and the resurgence of measles is a grim sign of what's coming
In the three decades between 1993 and 2024, measles in the U.S. was relatively rare—a few hundred cases each year, at most. But suddenly, the disease has become so entrenched in American life that it sometimes fails to ...
