Phys.org / Next-generation CT scanner reveal new details inside 2,300-year-old Egyptian mummy remains
Egyptian mummy remains were examined at Semmelweis University's Medical Imaging Center (OKK). The archaeological finds arriving from the Semmelweis Museum of Medical History, Hungarian National Museum Public Collection Center ...
Phys.org / Simulations generate thousands of cyclone scenarios to predict extreme flooding in Bay of Bengal
Powerful cyclones can push seawater miles inland, threatening densely populated communities and critical infrastructure built along coastal areas. A combination of exposure and complexity makes the Bay of Bengal in Southeast ...
Tech Xplore / Making AI safer for victims of intimate partner violence
Conversational AI tools denied blunt requests for harmful content by researchers posing as intimate partner abusers, but these guardrails were easily circumvented when they requested the content under false pretenses, a new ...
Medical Xpress / Overlooked ribosomal DNA may help explain human size differences
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), made from many copies of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), is the core component that powers ribosomes—protein-building machines in our body. It helps build proteins by linking amino acids together, and can also ...
Phys.org / Ethiopia's Afar Rift provides glimpse into life and death 100,000 years ago
The study of ancient cultures around Ethiopia during the Middle Stone Age (MSA) time period is important for understanding how some of the first Homo sapiens lived and eventually left Africa. Unfortunately, there are not ...
Medical Xpress / A hidden army of zombie immune cells may drive fatty liver disease, inflammation and aging
UCLA researchers have identified a rogue population of immune cells that quietly accumulates in aging tissues and in the livers of people with fatty liver disease. Clearing these cells, they found, dramatically reduced inflammation ...
Phys.org / Cells have a secret 'courier system' that could open hard-to-reach targets for RNA and gene therapies
Researchers at University College Dublin have discovered a previously unknown "courier system" that cells use to deliver coherent biological messages between each other, opening new possibilities for medicine and biotechnology. ...
Phys.org / AI turns plain-language prompts into lab-ready recipes for novel materials
Advances in artificial intelligence promise to help chemical engineers discover complex new materials. These materials could be used for reactions such as turning carbon dioxide into fuel, but technical barriers have limited ...
Phys.org / A tabletop ring of atoms brings the universe's doomsday vacuum collapse into the lab
Physicists in China have simulated the effect of "false vacuum decay": a phenomenon believed to play out constantly in the seemingly empty expanses of space, and which one theory even suggests could bring an abrupt end to ...
Medical Xpress / A two-way brain interface could help restore walking after paralysis by linking thoughts, robotic legs and sensation
Restoring both walking and sensation to patients with paraplegia is an ambitious goal—but a team of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and the California Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Biological shield can prevent skin cancer cells from transforming into aggressive metastatic forms
A new study has identified a molecular guardian that keeps skin cells from forgetting what they are and transforming into aggressive, migratory killers. By stabilizing a master genetic switch, this protein shield prevents ...
Medical Xpress / Neurobiologists hack brain circuits tied to placebo pain relief
Placebo effects, in which patients experience relief without therapeutic treatment, increasingly have been considered as potentially powerful clinical treatments for ailments such as depression and pain. Yet the neurological ...
