Medical Xpress / From pathology image to biological discovery: LazySlide uses foundation models to connect tissue images and RNA data
Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their importance, these images often remain difficult to analyze systematically and to connect with other types ...
Phys.org / Addressing the Achilles' heel of marine protected areas
New research led by James Cook University (JCU) emphasizes that the success of marine protected areas (MPAs) depends largely on understanding and influencing people's behaviors within their borders. The study demonstrates ...
Phys.org / No exotic physics needed: A new formation mechanism of skyrmions inside magnets
Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using only the fundamental ...
Phys.org / Extremely rare second-generation star discovered inside ancient relic dwarf galaxy
Discovered in the Pictor II dwarf galaxy, star PicII-503 has an extreme deficiency in iron—less than 1/40,000th of the sun. This signature makes it the clearest example of a star within a primordial system that preserves ...
Phys.org / Sweden's 'old‑growth' natural forests store 83% more carbon than managed woodlands—new study
Most of Europe's original natural forests have been transformed for agriculture and managed forests producing energy, paper, and timber. The few remaining "old-growth" natural forests are relics of the past that illustrate ...
Phys.org / You probably agree with animals on which bird calls, frog noises and cricket chirps are most attractive—new study
Animals do all sorts of things to attract each other as potential mates. Many birds, for example, produce feathers with elaborate color patterns—from the iridescent plumage of many hummingbirds to the famously brilliant ...
Phys.org / Engineered nanoparticles show enhanced intrinsic luminescence for biomedical imaging and cancer treatment
The Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology Group (GNano) at the University of São Paulo's São Carlos Institute of Physics (IFSC-USP) in Brazil has discovered a way to transform hydroxyapatite, a bioceramic material, into a nanoparticle ...
Phys.org / Feeling you belong may keep scientists in ornithology, study suggests
Across the sciences, researchers are asking why so many scientists leave their fields. A new study from Virginia Tech suggests at least part of the answer may be surprisingly simple. Scientists who feel a stronger sense of ...
Phys.org / Models warn Thwaites Glacier could rival entire Antarctic ice loss by 2067
The future of one of Antarctica's most iconic glaciers could be far more dramatic than scientists previously thought. Using satellite calibrated ice sheet models, a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh found ...
Phys.org / Earth's toughest microbes could help save the planet and find life on other worlds
Extremophiles may well be tiny, but they are making a huge contribution to the health of our planet and our lives. A new review of these microorganisms, published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, explains how they ...
Phys.org / An AI-guided gene-editing tool for more precise and safer DNA correction
Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base editors, which enable smaller, ...
Medical Xpress / How an imbalanced gut microbiome worsens chronic kidney disease
Researchers at UC Davis School of Medicine have uncovered how an imbalanced gut microbiome escalates the production of metabolic byproducts by certain gut bacteria. This imbalance drives a feedback loop that worsens chronic ...
