Phys.org / Indian millets contain distinct lipid fingerprints with anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory potential
Indian millets are a staple for the country's population of more than a billion. They are also gaining global popularity, with rising exports and a reputation as a climate-resilient crop. Now, new research shows that their ...
Phys.org / Even morphologically similar pollinators carry distinct pollen assemblages
The body size, morphology and associated behavioral traits of flower-visiting insects strongly influence the quantity of pollen they transport. Thus, pollinators with similar appearances are often assumed to exert similar ...
Phys.org / Climate models are missing the first warning signs of deadly Middle East heat waves, study finds
While the world's most advanced climate models successfully reproduce heat waves once they are underway, they consistently miss key atmospheric processes that trigger these events, potentially limiting the ability to anticipate ...
Medical Xpress / Genomics may improve diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders in Italy
A collaborative study used whole-genome sequencing to examine the genetic makeup of 110 children from Aosta Valley (Valle d'Aosta) with neurodevelopmental disorders and their parents. In a number of cases, researchers identified ...
Phys.org / Switzerland map reveals ground light and shade in 10-meter detail
Researchers have calculated light levels at the ground surface across Switzerland to within 10 meters, in both open and forested areas. The model even simulates the shadows cast by individual trees.
Phys.org / Q&A: Boosting NASA's Swift Observatory to support continued space observation
NASA's "rapid-response" space telescope is slowly falling out of orbit, but a daring mission this summer could allow the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to continue scanning the sky for many more years to come. In the first ...
Phys.org / Ultrasound unlocks protein from cauliflower waste and could add value to existing crops
An RMIT University innovation uses ultrasound to extract leaf protein from discarded cauliflower leaves, identifying a potential new use for vegetable scraps. The process could help food manufacturers turn vegetable waste ...
Medical Xpress / Language-based AI model spots early heart disease in ECGs, reaching 94.2% accuracy
A machine-learning model based on Transformer architecture, a form of artificial intelligence originally developed for language processing, can be used to detect heart disease from electrocardiograms (ECGs), according to ...
Phys.org / Report reveals how digital tools are transforming biodiversity crisis response
Scientists who study plant physiology and evolution have a new tool in their toolkit: a machine learning algorithm that can scan digital plant specimen collections and quickly measure leaf size and thickness.
Phys.org / Vertical marine heat wave study offers classification scheme for coastal resource management
Marine heat waves (MHWs) are events characterized by prolonged warm coastal and ocean conditions with wide-ranging impacts on ecosystem health and associated industries. While research on MHWs has historically relied on surface-water ...
Phys.org / AI can clone your voice. Why that's powerful—and dangerous
Using artificial intelligence, scammers can duplicate someone's voice with just seconds of audio, says the University of Cincinnati's Kimberly Hyun. Impostor scams are one of the most common forms of fraud, according to the ...
Medical Xpress / Babies with fetal growth restriction may face years of developmental effects, from heart rate to brain growth
Fetal growth restriction may affect babies' heart rate, pain response, brain structure, growth and early development long after birth, according to a new study led by UCL and King's College London researchers. For the first ...
