Medical Xpress / States enact emergency orders on kratom while awaiting federal rules
States are moving faster and further than federal regulators to get kratom off store shelves, with some banning the herb outright while a pending federal rule targets only one of its chemicals.
Medical Xpress / A timed liver signal may boost fat breakdown, pointing to potential metabolic treatments
What if one of the keys to a healthier metabolism is understanding how and when the liver communicates with the rest of the body?
Phys.org / Hurricane poised to hit Hawaii as El Niño stirs Pacific
A strengthening tropical storm named Lala is set to hit Hawaii's Big Island with hurricane-force gales on Saturday, bringing dangerous winds, rainfall and heavy surf.
Medical Xpress / Electric fields offer new hope against aggressive brain cancer
More than a decade ago, Dr. Matthew Hebb was treating patients with Parkinson's disease using deep brain stimulation by implanting tiny electrodes into the brain and delivering electrical signals to control tremors. He wondered ...
Medical Xpress / Global atlas uncovers 55,000 RNA viruses across nearly 100 cities
Scientists can't prepare for future viral threats if they don't know what's already in the environment. That's the idea behind an international research project involving the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa John A. Burns School ...
Phys.org / Thinking fast and slow: Wild fish reveal how cognition evolved in two closely related species
Why do two individuals faced with the same information sometimes make completely different decisions? It is a question made famous by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, whose book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" explored the contrast ...
Phys.org / Controlled cracking technique prints quantum dots into tiny pixels for sharper displays
Recent technological advances have enabled the development of increasingly sophisticated, sharper displays for electronic devices. Many modern displays use light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, tiny semiconductor-based components ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover 'hidden switch' that helps cancer cells hide from the immune system
Researchers from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps cancer cells evade detection by the body's ...
Phys.org / Hurricane Hunter data reveal early signs of strengthening tropical cyclones
Before tropical cyclones can significantly strengthen, they generally must first become vertically aligned, with their rotating centers stacked through the atmosphere. New research using nearly three decades of NOAA Hurricane ...
Tech Xplore / Peering inside LLM-based multi-agent systems could expose stealthy attacks
Large language models (LLMs), the models that underpin platforms such as ChatGPT and Gemini, are now used daily by more than a billion people worldwide. Some computer scientists have also been combining several of these models ...
Tech Xplore / Ribbon-like fiber unlocks pressure sensitivity up to 1,000 times higher than standard designs
Optical fiber has already transformed the modern world. New research now suggests it could do even more. A new flat-fiber fabrication technique produces a high-fidelity sensor for a wide range of applications, from batteries ...
