Medical Xpress / Modeling brain aging and resilience over the lifespan reveals new individual factors
Age is more than just one number. While neuroscientists used to think of cognitive aging as a single trendline, they now realize that vast individual differences require a more predictive and personalized approach. As they ...
Phys.org / Superfluids emerge in 2D moiré crystal formed from time, study predicts
Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time without constantly heating ...
Medical Xpress / Cheek cells may provide clues to schizophrenia risk
A simple cheek swab could one day provide a quick and noninvasive diagnostic test for schizophrenia. A new study published in Science Advances has identified higher levels of two biological markers in the cheek swabs of patients ...
Medical Xpress / An AI-informed model of human reward-based learning: Hybrid approach could aid studies of mood disorders
People's decisions are known to be influenced by past experiences, including the outcomes of earlier choices. For over a century, psychologists have been trying to shed light on the processes underpinning human decision-making ...
Tech Xplore / Liquid-metal pupil helps an artificial eye adapt to sudden light changes
Computer vision technologies are artificial intelligence (AI)-powered systems that can capture, analyze, and interpret visual data captured from real-world environments. While these systems are now widely used, many of them ...
Medical Xpress / A safer, more effective atrial fibrillation treatment method using magnetic gel may be on the way
Atrial fibrillation is a common heart condition characterized by a rapid, irregular heartbeat stemming from the heart's upper chamber. It is a leading cause of stroke from clots that form in a small pouch of the heart called ...
Phys.org / Why the Doomsday Clock has outlived its usefulness

Phys.org / Study finds biodiversity credits could boost rewilding, but fall far short
Payments that enable landowners to rewild ecologically degraded land—in the form of biodiversity credits bought by investors wishing to offset their impact on nature—could be an effective component of the emerging market ...
Phys.org / Material previously thought to be quantum is actually a new, non-quantum state of matter
Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem. A study, published ...
Phys.org / Left-handed people may have a psychological edge in competition
Left-handers are more competitive than right-handers, according to a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports. The findings may help explain why left-handedness has persisted throughout evolution despite the ...
Medical Xpress / The 'Golden Hour': Distance and delay define rural trauma care timelines
Billings Clinic investigators tracked trauma patients arriving directly from the scene versus patients transferred between facilities and found much longer times to reach the tertiary center for transfers, while adjusted ...
