Phys.org / New approach makes AI adaptable for computer vision in crop breeding
Scientists developed a machine-learning tool that can teach itself, with minimal external guidance, to differentiate between aerial images of flowering and nonflowering grasses—an advance that will greatly increase the ...
Medical Xpress / AI 'digital twin' platform personalizes cancer treatment dosing in research trial
While artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising potential, much of its use has remained theoretical or retrospective. Turning its potential into real-world health care outcomes, researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School ...
Medical Xpress / Gene therapy delivered early can help children with rare neurodegenerative disease retain motor and cognitive functions
If administered early, gene therapy has the potential to change the medical history of children born with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare and lethal neurodegenerative disease of genetic origin which leads to the ...
Phys.org / A single gene may control corn snake's skin pattern diversity
In many animals, skin coloration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In the corn snake, some morphs display red, yellow, or pink blotches, and their dorsal spots can merge ...
Medical Xpress / 3D spatial mapping of tumor cell 'neighborhoods' reveals potential targets for personalized cancer therapy
Researchers in Nikolaus Rajewsky's lab at Max Delbrück Center combined high-resolution, single-cell spatial technologies to map a tumor's cellular neighborhoods in 3D and identify potential targets for personalized cancer ...
Tech Xplore / A green technology for the closed-loop recycling of vat dyed textiles
It is becoming harder and harder to ignore the environmental costs of textiles, and demand is still growing by leaps and bounds each year.
Tech Xplore / Engineers create a robot that can jump 10 feet high—without legs
Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, Georgia Tech engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop.
Phys.org / Scientists repurpose gene editing tool to help uncover hidden microbial diversity
Pioneering research led by the University of Bristol has repurposed a gene-editing tool to help shed light on the true biodiversity present in natural environments. The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, ...
Medical Xpress / No needles needed: Wearable glucose monitors could reveal early diabetes warning signs missed by blood tests
The highs and lows of blood glucose aren't just an energy rollercoaster; they could be a key to detecting diabetes risk early and spare you a needle prick or two.
Phys.org / Scientists finally confirm vitamin B1 hypothesis from 1958
Chemists have confirmed a 67-year-old theory about vitamin B1 by stabilizing a reactive molecule in water—a feat long thought impossible. The discovery not only solves a biochemical mystery, but also opens the door to greener, ...
Phys.org / Study shows 90% metal pollution drop in Adirondack waters five decades after the clean air act
A study published by researchers at the University at Albany has presented the first documented evidence that Adirondack surface waters have made a near full recovery from metal pollution since the enactment of the Clean ...
Phys.org / Treasures found in the UK indicate Thetford was Pagan until the fifth century
Jewelry in a Roman treasure hoard found in Thetford Forest, East Anglia, indicates that Thetford was Pagan until the fifth century, which is longer than previously believed, reveals a new paper in the Journal of Roman Archaeology.
