Medical Xpress / While patients lay unconscious under anesthesia, their brains kept decoding stories and preparing for what came next
Baylor College of Medicine researchers have found that the human brain is capable of sophisticated language processing while in an unconscious state from general anesthesia. The findings, published in Nature, challenge what ...
Phys.org / Researchers combine five metals to build a better nanocrystal
A nanocrystal is an extraordinarily tiny piece of material—composed of anywhere from a few to a few thousand atoms—in which atoms are arranged in a precise, ordered structure. Think of it like taking a piece of gold and shrinking ...
Phys.org / AI tool unifies fragmented cell maps into spatial atlases across tissues
A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body's cells in space, according to a study published in Nature Genetics. Spatial multi-omics technologies—often described as ultra-high-resolution ...
Medical Xpress / New study challenges the inevitability of cognitive decline and proves that brain gain is possible at any age
A study recently published in Scientific Reports reveals that cognitive decline is not an inevitable part of aging. Researchers from the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas have demonstrated that adults ...
Phys.org / Gut bacteria reveal hidden evolutionary lineages tied to aging and disease
The human gut harbors a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome), which influences digestion, the immune system and metabolism. A research team led by the University of Vienna has used the "reverse ...
Tech Xplore / New AI tool predicts airport traffic to avert devastating collisions
In managing airport traffic, small errors can cause catastrophe. A group from the CMU Robotics Institute's AirLab used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 supercomputer to create World2Rules, an AI that draws ...
Phys.org / Myanmar says giant 11,000-carat ruby found in Mogok could rank among most valuable
A huge 11,000-carat ruby has been discovered in Myanmar, state media reported Friday, one of the largest ever found in the country renowned for its precious gemstones.
Phys.org / What to know about the predictions for a potentially record-breaking El Nino
Seasonal models are predicting an El Niño climate pattern that could be the strongest on record, bringing with it more extreme weather.
Phys.org / Mechanical method unlocks sunlight-driven wastewater cleanup
University of Birmingham researchers have demonstrated a new method to break down toxic pollutants in wastewater, using sunlight and molecular-thin catalysts created using an innovative "mechanical" approach. Non-degradable ...
Medical Xpress / Hantavirus scare revives COVID-era conspiracy theories
An outbreak of the deadly hantavirus on a Dutch-flagged cruise ship is reviving conspiracy theories about vaccines, alleged depopulation campaigns and miracle cures that flourished during the COVID pandemic.
Phys.org / Myanmar's devastating quake could reshape how California and other fault zones gauge future risk
A devastating earthquake in Myanmar is giving scientists new insight into how major quakes start, spread, and grow. The findings could improve risk estimates for dangerous faults around the world. A new study, published in ...
Phys.org / Rare footage of elusive sea-floor creatures and backward-swimming fish captured by compact video-acoustic system
Arctic glacial fjords are hotspots of marine life, yet their seafloor environments remain some of the least explored regions on Earth. Their extreme remoteness and the technical challenges of deep-water observation have led ...
