Tech Xplore / Physicists create sensor that detects and locates radiation with precision
Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at Vilnius University (VU) have developed a sensor capable of accurately detecting radiation, identifying its sources, and determining its intensity and precise location. The device, ...
Medical Xpress / Digital mindfulness intervention beneficial for late-life depression
A digital mindfulness intervention with electroencephalogram (EEG) feedback—the FocusZen Mindfulness Stress Reduction System—reduces depression, anxiety, and sleep symptoms among participants with late-life depression (LLD), ...
Medical Xpress / Voice changes measured with a mobile phone can signal a flare up in asthma or COPD
Voice changes, which can be recorded and measured with a mobile phone app, can signal a flare-up in symptoms for people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a study published in ERJ Open ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery could help prevent cancer drug resistance before it starts
Cancer cells are quick to develop resistance to anti-tumor drugs. New research by scientists from the University of California, Davis, shows how cancers adapt to evade a class of anti-tumor drugs called BET inhibitors and ...
Medical Xpress / Heart risk markers in adults over 40 with obesity increasingly converge with normal BMI levels
Over the last three decades, differences in unhealthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure between older adults with obesity and those with a normal body mass index (BMI) have narrowed or disappeared in several high-income ...
Phys.org / Unlocking the 'black box' of carbon materials: Study reveals origins of defect peaks
Carbon materials, such as carbon fibers and activated carbons, are essential across a wide variety of fields, encompassing everything from aerospace engineering to fuel cells and thermal insulation. For decades, Raman, infrared ...
Tech Xplore / Could the clean energy revolution be powered by wastewater?
Rare earth elements, a group of chemical elements, and other critical minerals are generally costly and difficult to procure and depend on complex supply chains. Yet some of these elements, such as lithium, are essential ...
Medical Xpress / Mechanical restraint linked to small increased short-term blood clot risk in psychiatric hospitals
Mechanical restraint is associated with a small increased short-term risk of blood clots among inpatients at psychiatric hospitals, finds a Danish study published by The BMJ. Although the absolute risk remains very low, the ...
Phys.org / Huge, specially designed heat pump saves a Norwegian agricultural cooperative millions
There are some magical limits to how much energy we can get out of a heat pump. This story is about pushing the technical limits. It is about getting more energy out than you put in. And it's about how SINTEF—one of Europe's ...
Medical Xpress / Would hunters take a Lyme disease vaccine?
It's tick season, possibly the worst in a decade.
Phys.org / TESS just found a planet in a new way—and more may be hiding in its eight years of data
For the first time, NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission has identified a planet orbiting a distant star thanks to its warping of space-time. Unlike the star-hugging transiting planets TESS regularly ...
Phys.org / World's largest particle smasher halts for upgrade to boost hunt for dark matter
The world's most powerful particle accelerator will shutter operations Monday for four years of renovations to dramatically boost its collision capacity and the potential for unlocking one of the greatest mysteries of the ...
