Science X / Hidden menstrual cycle patterns offer new way to track aging and long-term health
Scientists at SRI International in the US have developed an open-source tool designed to analyze the vast wealth of physiological data hidden within the menstrual cycle. Their long-term goal is to provide personalized health ...
Phys.org / Solar activity follows an 11‑year cycle. Here's how it controls eruptions and solar flares
When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the sun is a complex, dynamic celestial body, wrapped in electrical currents and magnetic fields that constantly ...
Medical Xpress / Autism social differences emerge early but can change considerably by adulthood, research suggests
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in behavior, social interactions, communication, and sensory perceptions. Some autistic individuals find communicating and connecting ...
Phys.org / What if the direction of a magnet could shape the building blocks of life?
In a new discovery, researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Weizmann Institute of Science have found that something in the direction of a magnetic field can influence how molecules of life behave at the ...
Science X / This simple muscle-saving duo may give aging bodies their best chance at staying strong
Watching older family members slowly grow weaker with age is something most of us dread, but have come to accept as inevitable. While a loss of muscle strength—sarcopenia—is a natural part of aging, scientists have found ...
Phys.org / Why we live alone—and what it means for the climate and our sense of community
Solo living in your own home places a greater strain on the planet's resources than living with others, as everyone needs their own appliances—a toaster, a washing machine and so on. The Nordic countries stand out: Almost ...
Tech Xplore / New earphone design verifies users by their heartbeat, simplifying authentication
The use of biometric data in personal devices has been popular with consumers for tracking things like heart rate and sleep stages, but it is becoming increasingly common for identification purposes too. Identifying data ...
Phys.org / Hotels strive to be found as AI models conduct travel search
With people increasingly adopting AI to help plan their vacations, hotels are working to make sure that you check them out—and check in.
Science X / Decades after Chernobyl disaster, this radioactive landscape has become one of wildlife's most unlikely strongholds
An hour after midnight on 26 April 1986, a catastrophic explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant caused loss of human life, left people scrambling to flee, and within days, the entire area of Pripyat and Chernobyl had ...
Phys.org / Hydrous mantle minerals reveal possible source of seismic anisotropy in stagnant slabs
Seismic waves traveling through Earth's interior often propagate at different speeds depending on their direction, a phenomenon known as seismic anisotropy. Such anisotropy is commonly detected beneath subduction zones, particularly ...
Phys.org / Neptune's mysterious moon Nereid may be original survivor of Triton's chaotic arrival
Neptune's far-flung moon Nereid may be the last of the planet's original companions that managed to survive a cosmic crash, scientists reported Wednesday.
Medical Xpress / Blood biomarkers could detect earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease—and slow its progression
Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions worldwide, has a long preclinical stage. It potentially begins decades before clinical symptoms become apparent.
