Tech Xplore / Tag-teaming turbulence: Frontier supercomputer trains AI to model cosmic storms
Researchers used the world's fastest supercomputer for open science to train an artificial intelligence model that captures magnetic turbulence within a plasma in unprecedented detail. Results from the model, trained on the ...
Medical Xpress / Research uncovers gaps in stuttering care
Variability in an individual's stuttering pattern has long posed challenges for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) when treating clients, but new research led by Charles Darwin University (CDU) and Michigan State University ...
Tech Xplore / This fuel crisis could last for a while. It's time for a new approach to fuel use—end it
Australia is in the middle of a fuel crisis, but the way the state and federal governments have chosen to respond signals a firm commitment to fossil fuels.
Phys.org / Editing grapevine DNA could boost resistance to disease and drought
For the first time, a team of researchers from Stellenbosch University (SU) and the Agricultural Research Council has successfully edited the DNA of a woody crop plant in Africa by making precise changes to its genetic material. ...
Medical Xpress / COVID's old takeover pattern is breaking: BA.3.2 hits children more often while global variant replacement stalls
The WHO declared the global health emergency associated with the COVID-19 pandemic to be over in 2023, as most individuals had developed immune protection against the virus through vaccination and/or infection. However, even ...
Medical Xpress / Extra antibiotic doesn't reduce infection risk during surgery to fix complex fractures, trial finds
Adding an extra antibiotic powder doesn't further reduce a person's risk of infection during surgery to repair complex bone fractures, a new study says. People had about the same rate of post-surgery infections whether doctors ...
Phys.org / Interior designers help students see that meaningful design begins with understanding people
At the School of Design, interior design faculty Elif and Alp Tural teach students how empathy, accessibility, and well-being can shape the spaces designers create. After earning their degrees at Arizona State University, ...
Medical Xpress / Washington expands hepatitis C testing, cutting per-patient costs by more than 45%
It took less than 22 years after the discovery of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) for a fast-acting, highly effective treatment to become available. Modern drugs are more than 95% effective at curing hepatitis C infection, yet ...
Medical Xpress / Implanted nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea found to be safe and effective
A randomized controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of proximal hypoglossal nerve stimulation, or pHGNS, (an implanted stimulation therapy targeting specific sectors of nerves in the tongue) for obstructive sleep ...
Phys.org / I've fired one of America's most powerful lasers—here's what a shot day looks like
If you walk across the open yard in front of the Physics, Math and Astronomy building at the University of Texas at Austin, you'll see a 17-story tower and a huge L-shaped building. What you won't see is what's underneath ...
Medical Xpress / These blood markers can expose colorectal, lung and ovarian cancers before symptoms appear
Biomarkers in the blood could be used for the early detection of colorectal cancer, lung cancer and ovarian cancer. A new study from Uppsala University shows that the performance of such biomarkers is comparable to or better ...
Tech Xplore / Energy-efficient cooling elements developed from a 3D printer
Visitors to this year's Hannover Messe can experience a sudden drop in temperature at first hand—all brought about by simply stretching a metal alloy and then releasing it again. The underlying elastocaloric technology offers ...
