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 ...
Phys.org / A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest
Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and develop quantum technologies, ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robots master parkour and acquire human-like agility
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a human-like body structure, have the potential of tackling various real-world tasks that are currently being completed by humans. In recent years, many robotics researchers and computer ...
Phys.org / Study reveals new technique to identify individual night-flying birds for the first time
Millions of birds invisibly migrate through the night sky each autumn, most flying in near silence toward their wintering grounds. Now, scientists have developed a way to see and identify many of those birds for the first ...
Medical Xpress / Pregnancy complications can impact women's stress levels and cardiovascular risk long after delivery
Women who experience pregnancy complications, like preeclampsia, pre-term birth, stillbirth or having a baby that is small for gestational age, may face an increased risk for cardiovascular disease later in life. For those ...
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Harsh parenting may cancel routine's benefits during the preschool-to-first-grade shift
Starting elementary school is a major milestone, but it can be a difficult transition as children can experience separation anxiety or have trouble adapting to school rules and structure. However, a team led by Penn State ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phys.org / DART images reveal asteroids can toss slow 'cosmic snowballs' between moons
About 15% of asteroids near Earth have small moons orbiting them, making binary asteroid systems common in our cosmic neighborhood.
Phys.org / New fossil reveals the weird 'tooth cushions' of an apex predator from 425 million years ago
Roughly 425 million years ago, in the warm seas over what is now southern China, there lived a meter-long bony fish with jaws full of clusters of spiky teeth.
