Medical Xpress / Arthritis origins may begin before birth
Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have discovered that some joints may be more susceptible to inflammatory arthritis before birth, offering new insight into why rheumatoid arthritis attacks particular joints while sparing ...
Phys.org / Mathematical model shows how birds create a synchronized dawn chorus
Every morning, groups of birds start singing and chirping around the same time, typically when the sun starts rising. While zoologists have been studying this collective bird behavior, called the dawn chorus, for decades, ...
Phys.org / Mirage or miracle? JWST finds earliest known 'black hole star' at cosmic dawn
Little red dots have puzzled astronomers since their discovery in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data from the universe's deep past. Their "powering engines" might resemble a newly discovered phenomenon dubbed a "black ...
Phys.org / Hurricane Hunter data reveal early signs of strengthening tropical cyclones
Before tropical cyclones can significantly strengthen, they generally must first become vertically aligned, with their rotating centers stacked through the atmosphere. New research using nearly three decades of NOAA Hurricane ...
Tech Xplore / An energy storage device designed to be recycled
Smartwatches, phones and even some drones rely on lightweight, rechargeable energy storage systems. Once those devices wear out, many end up as electronic waste. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have developed ...
Phys.org / What happens to nanoparticles when they enter the bloodstream?
The use of nanoparticles in drug delivery offers key advantages: they can enable targeted drug delivery, protect active ingredients from premature degradation, extend their duration of action in the body and reduce side effects. ...
Medical Xpress / For the tiniest patients, new tech brings clearer MRI images
Some of medicine's smallest patients can present its biggest imaging challenges. An infant's heart can be as small as a walnut, beating rapidly inside a body that will change dramatically as the child grows. Yet much of the ...
Phys.org / Quantum advantage reassessed: More realistic benchmarks for quantum algorithms
Quantum advantage refers to the point at which a quantum computer solves a clearly defined task faster or more efficiently than any classical computer—or makes it solvable in the first place. For many practical applications, ...
Phys.org / The internet can't get enough of cats, but cats might have had enough of the internet
According to new research, viewers often dismiss, trivialize or even romanticize signs of cat distress during "play" interactions, raising concerns for cat welfare.
Medical Xpress / Unexpected findings add new insight on cannabis and heart health
Habitual cannabis users experienced about 9% fewer premature heartbeats on days they inhaled cannabis compared with days they abstained, a counterintuitive finding that adds to the complex and evolving understanding of how ...
Phys.org / Historical DNA reveals largetooth sawfish have lost much of their genetic diversity
The genetic diversity of the largetooth sawfish (Pristis pristis), a critically endangered ray, has plummeted over the past century and a half, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological ...
Tech Xplore / Butterfly-inspired ceramic microscrolls unroll with magnets to power tiny robots
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research have developed tiny rolls that can be unrolled and rolled up in a controlled manner using a magnet. The model for this was the ...
