Phys.org / AI avatars promise UK growth if laws can put people first
AI avatars are helping UK businesses save time and money, but without clear rules, workers are at risk and growth opportunities are being missed. A report published in the journal Synthetic Media Research Network, Replique ...
Phys.org / Study finds overconfident CEOs are 10-15% less likely to delegate deal work
A new study finds overconfident CEOs are less likely to delegate responsibilities to underlings, particularly in settings that involve complex transactions—such as hammering out the details of high-stakes deals. The paper, ...
Tech Xplore / New framework helps companies turn tech risks into strategic opportunities
In the high-stakes world of product innovation, companies often face a paradox: adopting cutting-edge technology—such as biosensors that monitor heart rate and stress or energy-efficient chips that enable continuous health ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows COVID-19 disrupted young children's executive function development
Executive function skills are a set of inter-related processes that support attention, self-control, and goal-directed behavior. Executive function has been linked to positive outcomes across multiple domains of development. ...
Medical Xpress / Deepfake X-rays fool radiologists and AI
Neither radiologists nor multimodal large language models (LLMs) are able to easily distinguish artificial intelligence (AI)-generated "deepfake" X-ray images from authentic ones, according to a study published in Radiology. ...
Phys.org / A catalyst-free way to add boron to arenes
RIKEN chemists have demonstrated a method to synthesize organic compounds that contain the element boron. Organoboron compounds are used in a wide range of drugs, including those for treating cancer, fungal infections and ...
Medical Xpress / New 4D model advances precision treatment for heart failure
A made-in-Calgary 4D heart model is transforming treatment for heart failure patients having a specialized pacemaker inserted, called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In a clinical trial, published in Circulation: ...
Medical Xpress / Medical societies call for 'ALARA+' safety standard to reduce radiation and injury risks in fluoroscopy labs
Nine leading medical societies are calling for updated safety standards in fluoroscopy laboratories, often called "cath labs," where clinicians performing minimally invasive procedures face radiation exposure and orthopedic ...
Medical Xpress / Subtle health changes may signal progressive supranuclear palsy years in advance
Drawing from UK Biobank data, Mass General Brigham researchers have uncovered specific health factors linked to higher or lower risk of developing progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare but devastating neurological ...
Medical Xpress / Agent Orange linked to aggressive bone marrow cancer in Vietnam veterans
More than 50 years after Agent Orange was used in Vietnam, a new national study published in Blood Advances highlights the genetic changes that link exposure to Agent Orange to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of ...
Phys.org / Are humans naturally violent? New research challenges long-held assumptions
New research from the University of Lincoln, UK, is challenging a common assumption about the evolutionary origins of human violence, suggesting that everyday aggression does not inevitably lead to lethal conflict. The study, ...
Phys.org / A spinel crystal structure exhibits unusual, pressure-induced superconductivity
Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally observed when materials are cooled down to extremely low temperatures. In some cases, however, like ...
