Phys.org / LED-powered e-nose detects multiple hazardous gases at room temperature
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed a next-generation gas sensor technology that uses low-cost and safe LED light to precisely distinguish multiple hazardous gases. Compared with conventional ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis in pregnancy may leave schizophrenia-risk signals in the placenta
Schizophrenia is a serious mental health disorder that is characterized by psychosis, making it difficult for a person to tell what is real. It impacts about 1% of the Canadian population and is linked to major health challenges, ...
Phys.org / Researchers challenge misleading language around plastic waste solutions
Solutions to the plastic waste crisis are often pitched using words that can skew value judgments, new research argues. The paper, authored by the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub at The University of Manchester, explores ...
Phys.org / Martu rangers and scientists combine forces to save an endangered marsupial
Deep in the heart of Martu Country lies Karlamilyi National Park. Red rock and red sand stretch as far as the eye can see. Within some of these rocky outcrops, live a small population of wiminyji (northern quolls). But they ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular imaging may reduce need for melanoma biopsies
Douglas Grossman, MD, Ph.D., co-leader of the Melanoma Center at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) and professor of dermatology at the U, has helped develop a noninvasive technology that aims to ...
Phys.org / Researcher warns of structural risks at Grand Renaissance Dam putting property and lives in danger
A new peer-reviewed study led by Dr. Hesham El-Askary, Ph.D., professor of computational and data science at Chapman University, concludes that the saddle dam of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam shows significant vulnerabilities ...
Tech Xplore / Novel framework for unsupervised point cloud anomaly localization developed
The automatic detection of surface-level irregularities—defects or anomalies—in 3D data is of significant interest for various real-world purposes, such as industrial quality inspection, infrastructure monitoring, robotics, ...
Medical Xpress / Women with severe burn injuries are more likely than men to develop blood poisoning
The skin forms a natural barrier that prevents bacteria entering the body. Severe burns stop this protective function from working properly, and germs can enter the blood more easily through the wounds. If the airways have ...
