Phys.org / Indian millets contain distinct lipid fingerprints with anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory potential
Indian millets are a staple for the country's population of more than a billion. They are also gaining global popularity, with rising exports and a reputation as a climate-resilient crop. Now, new research shows that their ...
Phys.org / Are alien probes hiding in our backyard? A new study says we've barely looked
Even at this early stage in our spacefaring age, humanity has already begun sending probes that will eventually reach other solar systems, even if that was not their original intention. Five robotic explorers—Pioneer 10 and ...
Phys.org / Even morphologically similar pollinators carry distinct pollen assemblages
The body size, morphology and associated behavioral traits of flower-visiting insects strongly influence the quantity of pollen they transport. Thus, pollinators with similar appearances are often assumed to exert similar ...
Medical Xpress / Genomics may improve diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders in Italy
A collaborative study used whole-genome sequencing to examine the genetic makeup of 110 children from Aosta Valley (Valle d'Aosta) with neurodevelopmental disorders and their parents. In a number of cases, researchers identified ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cell circuit restores barrier function in inflammatory bowel disease
Scientists have discovered a new protective communication circuit between specialized immune cells in the intestines, a circuit that may be therapeutically targeted to improve inflammatory bowel disease outcomes, according ...
Medical Xpress / Beyond GLP-1s: The next chapter of obesity care
The rapid rise of GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide has transformed obesity treatment. Still, experts say medications alone are not enough to address one of the nation's most pressing chronic diseases.
Phys.org / Climate models are missing the first warning signs of deadly Middle East heat waves, study finds
While the world's most advanced climate models successfully reproduce heat waves once they are underway, they consistently miss key atmospheric processes that trigger these events, potentially limiting the ability to anticipate ...
Phys.org / Switzerland map reveals ground light and shade in 10-meter detail
Researchers have calculated light levels at the ground surface across Switzerland to within 10 meters, in both open and forested areas. The model even simulates the shadows cast by individual trees.
Medical Xpress / Language-based AI model spots early heart disease in ECGs, reaching 94.2% accuracy
A machine-learning model based on Transformer architecture, a form of artificial intelligence originally developed for language processing, can be used to detect heart disease from electrocardiograms (ECGs), according to ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Boosting NASA's Swift Observatory to support continued space observation
NASA's "rapid-response" space telescope is slowly falling out of orbit, but a daring mission this summer could allow the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to continue scanning the sky for many more years to come. In the first ...
Phys.org / Ultrasound unlocks protein from cauliflower waste and could add value to existing crops
An RMIT University innovation uses ultrasound to extract leaf protein from discarded cauliflower leaves, identifying a potential new use for vegetable scraps. The process could help food manufacturers turn vegetable waste ...
Phys.org / Report reveals how digital tools are transforming biodiversity crisis response
Scientists who study plant physiology and evolution have a new tool in their toolkit: a machine learning algorithm that can scan digital plant specimen collections and quickly measure leaf size and thickness.
