Medical Xpress / New study reveals how the brain detects the smallest sensory signals
Researchers have uncovered how the brain is able to detect and process tiny sensory signals with remarkable accuracy—even when those signals are buried in the brain's constant internal activity. The findings shed new light ...
Medical Xpress / Can AI predict glucose changes before they happen?
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases, affecting around 66 million adults in Europe—a figure projected to rise to more than 72 million by 2050. For people with type 1 diabetes, keeping glucose levels within ...
Phys.org / Can AI tame torrential rain by 2050? The next frontier of weather control and forecasting
Japan has been experiencing increasingly severe damage from torrential rainfall triggered by typhoons and stationary linear rain bands. In response, an ambitious and unconventional idea is taking shape: artificially inducing ...
Phys.org / A photon that challenges Einstein: According to current physics, it should never have reached Earth
How did a photon survive a journey of more than 2 billion light-years when, according to known physics, it should have been absorbed long before reaching Earth? This is the question at the heart of a new study by Giorgio ...
Phys.org / Levitated magnet opens new frontier in search for ultraheavy dark matter
Rice University researchers have used a magnetically levitated particle to search for ultraheavy dark matter, extending the hunt for some of the heaviest possible forms of the invisible matter thought to hold galaxies together. ...
Dialog / A black hole as light as 40 tons can exist inside a star if dark matter helps
In 1974, Stephen Hawking made a prediction that transformed our understanding of black holes. Black holes, he showed, are not truly black: They slowly lose energy through a quantum process now known as Hawking radiation. ...
Phys.org / The surprising place where giant dinosaurs incubated their eggs
Finding a fossilized dinosaur egg is exceptionally rare, but finding a stash of more than 250 shell fragments in the chilly southern reaches of the planet is even more surprising. The discoveries come from southernmost Patagonia ...
Medical Xpress / Newly mapped brain circuit offers clues to how slow nasal breathing eases anxiety
A slow breath in and out does the trick for many people when calming their nerves and dealing with anxiety, a disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Pranayama, Taoism and meditation have long used slow nasal ...
Phys.org / Stripped-down LSD reveals structural features linked to hallucinogenic and therapeutic effects
University of California, Davis, researchers have stripped down LSD to the base features responsible for its hallucinogenic and therapeutic effects.
Phys.org / A wandering black hole caught feeding on the run
Astronomers have found the first direct evidence that a wandering black hole can feed itself by dragging gas along in its wake as it moves through its galaxy. It's the first direct evidence of an accretion channel long predicted ...
Phys.org / Do black holes grow along with the universe? A new study says yes
We know the universe is constantly expanding. We also know that gravitationally bound objects, such as solar systems and black holes, seem to be immune to that expansion. But a new paper by theoretical physicists Valerio ...
Medical Xpress / Third of UK government's nutrition advisers still paid by food companies, including Coca-Cola and Nestlé
Nearly a third of the UK government's nutrition advisers still have "significant" ties to the food industry, including Coca-Cola, Sainsbury's and Danone, a new analysis by The BMJ reveals today.
