Medical Xpress / Blood pressure swings over 24 hours tied to poorer brain health
Frequent changes in blood pressure could affect cognitive health and contribute to brain changes associated with dementia risk, according to new research from Monash University.
Phys.org / How Mars can help us understand 'marginal' exoplanets
Mars holds a special place in the solar system. It represents marginal habitability. This means it transitioned from warm and wet and potentially hospitable, to cold and dry and inhospitable.
Phys.org / Tuning into quantum sounds: Acoustic devices simplify quantum sensors
When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, something similar is going on. ...
Tech Xplore / AI speeds up discovery of next-gen computer chips and electronic materials
An international study team, led by Flinders University in collaboration with Khalifa University UAE, built the machine-learning platform to act like a "smart materials discovery engine," which is capable of dramatically ...
Phys.org / Artists reconstruct extinct Sri Lankan megafauna
For animator and academic Dr. Jason Kennedy, palaeoart isn't just a hobby. Creating 3D images of prehistoric animals sits at the intersection of science and art, combining fossil analysis, comparisons with living species, ...
Medical Xpress / Why some cancers are worse than others
Megan Sweet slices tumors. A normal day in the lab finds the Virginia Tech graduate student with hands deep inside a refrigerated metal box, pulling a mounted mouse-grown tumor incrementally closer to a razor-sharp blade. ...
Phys.org / Megalibraries could reshape AI-driven materials discovery faster than self-driving labs
Scientists may soon stop hunting for new materials—and start designing them to order. For the first time, Northwestern University scientists have demonstrated that megalibraries—tools that dramatically accelerate materials ...
Medical Xpress / Broccoli compounds may help repair HIV-linked gut damage, animal study suggests
For many people living with HIV, today's treatments can suppress the virus and dramatically improve health. But even when HIV is controlled, damage to the gut caused by the disease can persist, fueling chronic inflammation ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's-linked protein found to shape long-term memories
New research has uncovered how a protein strongly linked to Alzheimer's disease plays a critical role in forming long-lasting memories—opening up new directions for future dementia treatments.
Phys.org / Visualizing how flutter kick vertical vortices generate propulsion and suppress body sway in swimmers
Researchers at University of Tsukuba used advanced techniques to visualize the water flow generated by flutter kicking during front-crawl swimming. They analyzed how this kicking motion generates propulsive force and contributes ...
Phys.org / Extreme 8.5-minute orbit reveals white dwarf being torn apart by its binary companion
A team of U.S. astronomers has observed a binary pair of white dwarfs where one star is actively devouring material from the other. Led by Emma Chickles at MIT, the researchers revealed one of the clearest views yet of how ...
Phys.org / Remote fieldwork and museum collections reveal hidden pit viper diversity in High Asia
The high mountain ranges of Asia remain among the least biologically explored regions of the continent. Now, an international team of researchers has shown that one of their most elusive venomous snakes, long treated as a ...
