Medical Xpress / Fatigue before cancer treatment linked to adverse events
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center-led investigators found that higher patient-reported fatigue before cancer treatment aligned with higher odds of severe, life-threatening, and fatal treatment-related toxic effects.
Phys.org / The (metabolic) 'cost of life': New method quantifies hidden energy costs of maintaining metabolic pathways
There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific biochemical processes active—such as those that make up photosynthesis, although the examples are ...
Medical Xpress / New AI model predicts disease risk while you sleep
A poor night's sleep portends a bleary-eyed next day, but it could also hint at diseases that will strike years down the road. A new artificial intelligence model developed by Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues ...
Medical Xpress / How stressors during pregnancy impact the developing fetal brain
The maternal microbiome and immune system have both independent and synergistic effects on fetal brain health—changes in the mother's immune system have been linked to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in ...
Phys.org / Real-life experiment shows Niels Bohr was right in a theoretical debate with Einstein
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to disprove the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity put forth by Niels Bohr and his school ...
Phys.org / Astronomers measure both mass and distance of a rogue planet for the first time
While most planets that we are familiar with stick relatively close to their host star in a predictable orbit, some planets seem to have been knocked out of their orbits, floating through space free of any particular gravitational ...
Phys.org / New species of bush tomato with visible nectar glands discovered in the Australian outback
A recent study led by Bucknell University Professor Chris Martine, biology, the David Burpee Professor of Plant Genetics and Research, has identified and described a new species of bush tomato with a special connection to ...
Phys.org / Roots of medieval migration into England uncovered in new study
Migration into England was continuous from the Romans through to the Normans and men and women moved from different places and at different rates, a study finds.
Phys.org / Microbes may hold the key to brain evolution
A new study reveals that changes to the gut microbiome can change the way the brain works.
Phys.org / Nearly every corn seed planted in Colorado is covered in insecticide: Lawmakers may restrict the chemical
Colorado farmers plant tens of millions of corn seeds every year, nearly every one of them covered in a thin layer of insecticide.
Phys.org / Chess960's random setups still favor white, new study reveals
Chess is a relatively simple game to learn but a very difficult one to master. Because the starting positions of the pieces are fixed, top players have relied on memorizing the "best" opening moves, which can sometimes result ...
Phys.org / Metal–metal bonded molecule achieves stable spin qubit state, opening path toward quantum computing materials
Researchers at Kumamoto University, in collaboration with colleagues in South Korea and Taiwan, have discovered that a unique cobalt-based molecule with metal–metal bonds can function as a spin quantum bit (spin qubit)—a ...
