Medical Xpress / Blood-brain barrier scans could personalize stroke care using existing MRI data
When a person first exhibits signs of having a stroke, the timing of treatment is critical to restore blood flow to the brain and support recovery. In addition to studying and implementing ways to treat patients faster, investigators ...
Phys.org / J1152 is an unusual long-period dwarf nova with recurring eclipses, observations find
Astronomers from the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) and elsewhere have conducted photometric and spectroscopic observations of a cataclysmic variable system designated SRGA J115215.0−510656. Results of the ...
Phys.org / Photonics advance could enable compact, high-performance lidar sensors
Lidar systems use pulses of infrared light to measure distance and map a 3D scene with high resolution, allowing autonomous vehicles to rapidly react to obstacles that appear in their path. But traditional lidar sensors are ...
Phys.org / AI tool unifies fragmented cell maps into spatial atlases across tissues
A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body's cells in space, according to a study published in Nature Genetics. Spatial multi-omics technologies—often described as ultra-high-resolution ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden sex differences may explain why lupus strikes women far more often
Ahead of World Lupus Day on May 10, new research from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and UNSW Sydney helps explain why women are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease—a condition where ...
Medical Xpress / New study challenges the inevitability of cognitive decline and proves that brain gain is possible at any age
A study recently published in Scientific Reports reveals that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging. Researchers from the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas have demonstrated that adults ...
Phys.org / New long-necked dinosaur found in Northeast Brazil was a close relative of a European species
A study published in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology describes a new species of dinosaur discovered during construction of a road-rail terminal in the city of Davinópolis in the state of Maranhão, in the Northeast ...
Phys.org / Mechanical method unlocks sunlight-driven wastewater cleanup
University of Birmingham researchers have demonstrated a new method to break down toxic pollutants in wastewater, using sunlight and molecular-thin catalysts created using an innovative "mechanical" approach. Non-degradable ...
Phys.org / Researchers combine five metals to build a better nanocrystal
A nanocrystal is an extraordinarily tiny piece of material—composed of anywhere from a few to a few thousand atoms—in which atoms are arranged in a precise, ordered structure. Think of it like taking a piece of gold and shrinking ...
Phys.org / The 'nostalgia effect': Scientists produce less disruptive work as they age
You probably know that Einstein changed the face of physics with his theory of relativity in his twenties. What you may not know is that he spent his later career on a crusade against quantum mechanics, the model that would ...
Phys.org / Myanmar's devastating quake could reshape how California and other fault zones gauge future risk
A devastating earthquake in Myanmar is giving scientists new insight into how major quakes start, spread, and grow. The findings could improve risk estimates for dangerous faults around the world. A new study, published in ...
Science X / Coffee doesn't just wake you up—a key biological pathway illuminates widespread health effects
For decades, research has linked coffee consumption to longer life and lower risk of chronic disease—but exactly how those benefits occur has remained unclear. Now, new research from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine ...
