Medical Xpress / Noninvasive deep brain stimulation technique shows early promise for treating Parkinson's disease
A novel, noninvasive brain stimulation approach—known as transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TIs)—may offer a new way to treat motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease without the need for surgery, according to a ...
Phys.org / Researchers find coherent ferrons—polarization waves with potential across quantum and telecom applications
In new research published in Nature Materials, a team of researchers led by Columbia University chemist Xiaoyang Zhu, in collaboration with fellow Columbians Xavier Roy, Milan Delor, Dmitri Basov, and James McIver, has observed ...
Medical Xpress / AI joins the quest to find new treatments for rare diseases
Rare neuromuscular diseases often lack treatments because developing targeted drugs is slow, costly and risky for companies. A new approach using AI and stem cell models could finally shift the balance.
Phys.org / Metagenomics and AI could unlock uncultivated bacteria and archaea
Advances in DNA sequencing have expanded our view of the microbial world, but the inability to cultivate most microbes has been a major constraint. Now, a systematic, predictive framework that combines existing genomic and ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI architecture could turn neuromorphic systems into reliable discovery machines
The artificial intelligence (AI) machines that guide the world can be grouped into three main categories: inference machines, learning machines and discovery machines. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are ...
Phys.org / How carbon dioxide cools the upper atmosphere—and warms Earth below
Even as temperatures rise on Earth's surface and in the lower atmosphere, the planet's upper atmosphere has cooled dramatically. This paradoxical pattern is a well-known sign of humanity's climate impacts—but until now, the ...
Medical Xpress / New positive data on old drugs: Digitalis reduces heart failure events
Analyses supporting the use of digitalis glycosides in patients with heart failure were presented in a Late-Breaking Science session today at Heart Failure 2026, the annual congress of the Heart Failure Association of the ...
Phys.org / Universal voting-by-mail increases voter turnout for both major US parties
In recent years, voting by mail has been the subject of numerous lawsuits and attacks that often claim the process gives Democratic nominees and legislative bills an edge. But a recent Caltech study shows that sending ballots ...
Tech Xplore / Deal reached with hackers to delete data stolen from the Canvas educational platform
The company that operates online learning system Canvas said it struck a deal with hackers to delete the data they pilfered in a cyberattack that created chaos for students, many of them in the middle of finals.
Medical Xpress / Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome: A new name to improve diagnosis, care of condition affecting 170 million women
A global effort led by Monash University has changed the name of a significant women's health condition that was misunderstood to be "all about ovarian cysts." Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is the new name ...
Medical Xpress / Obesity-linked fat molecule may speed Alzheimer's by disrupting brain lipids
A new study offers fresh insight into Alzheimer's disease by looking beyond the brain and focusing on metabolic health, particularly obesity. The Houston Methodist-led study moves beyond the traditional view of obesity as ...
Phys.org / Smarter search for fuel-cell catalysts uses machine learning
A computational method combining generative AI with atomistic simulations can identify promising platinum alloy catalyst structures for hydrogen fuel cells, report researchers from Science Tokyo. Their approach addresses ...
