Medical Xpress / New data platform tracks the complex path to Alzheimer's and could transform how its risk is predicted
A powerful new real-world data platform could transform how scientists predict and understand Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), reports a new study at Columbia University Mailman School ...
Phys.org / Building trust in the future of quantum computing
Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), researchers are now working ...
Medical Xpress / Linking adiposity and inflammation with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality
Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and Life's Crucial 9 (LC9) from the American Heart Association are industry-accepted metrics that summarize overall cardiovascular health. A new study documents inverse associations between these ...
Phys.org / Investors willing to pay a little more for green bonds
Green investors often boast that they can support sustainability without sacrificing returns. But new research from Texas McCombs suggests otherwise. It also offers governments opportunities to raise more money from those ...
Medical Xpress / No shelter, no cool-down: Why Salt Lake heat waves hit the unhoused hardest
People experiencing unsheltered homelessness often navigate a treacherous world in which the choices available to them are very limited. They do it with compelling ingenuity and deftness. But while they are functional, they ...
Phys.org / Climate change is slowing Earth's spin at unprecedented rate compared to past 3.6 million years
Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth's rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 milliseconds per century—is ...
Phys.org / Ryugu asteroid samples contain all DNA and RNA building blocks, bolstering origin-of-life theories
All the essential ingredients to make the DNA and RNA underpinning life on Earth have been discovered in samples collected from the asteroid Ryugu, scientists said Monday.
Phys.org / Could a recently detected ultra-high-energy neutrino be linked to new physics?
Neutrinos are extremely lightweight and electrically neutral particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter. Due to these rare interactions, neutrinos can travel across space almost entirely unaffected, carrying information ...
Phys.org / Physicists break longstanding high-temperature superconductivity record at ambient pressure
Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient pressure—a breakthrough that ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists untangle how Bronze Age textiles were made
Analysis and reconstruction of a warp-weighted loom from the second millennium BC site of Cabezo Redondo, Spain, provides an unprecedented glimpse into the development of textile technology in the Bronze Age western Mediterranean.
Phys.org / Palm-sized superconducting magnet achieves 42 tesla, rivaling the world's biggest
When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary breakthrough for physics, ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover long-period radio transient of unknown origin
Using the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP), astronomers have discovered a new long-period radio transient source, which received the designation ASKAP J142431.2–612611 (ASKAP J1424 for short). The newfound transient has ...
