Medical Xpress / Automatic label checking: The missing step in making medical AI reliable
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered a practical way to detect and fix common labeling errors in large radiographic collections. By automatically verifying body-part, projection, and rotation tags, ...
Phys.org / Glowing urine and shining bark: Scientists discover the secret visual language of deer
During mating season, when male white-tailed deer want to get noticed by the opposite sex and warn off rivals, they rub their antlers against trees and scrape the forest floor. Then they pee on these patches. But there is ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's disease can be reversed in animal models to achieve full neurological recovery
For over a century, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been considered irreversible. Consequently, research has focused on disease prevention or slowing, rather than recovery. Despite billions of dollars spent on decades of research, ...
Tech Xplore / Unlocking corrosion-free Zn/Br flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage
Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a simple molecular scavenger, they were able to remove a major barrier to the performance and lifespan ...
Phys.org / Observations catch galaxy cluster in the process of merging
Astronomers have used the Keck Observatory's DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph to observe a nearby galaxy cluster designated RXC J0032.1+1808. As a result, they found that the cluster undergoes a major merging event. The finding ...
Phys.org / Africa's rarest carnivore: The story of the first Ethiopian wolf ever captured, nursed and returned to the wild

Medical Xpress / Key enzyme controls both weight gain and cholesterol levels in animal models
Obesity is a global epidemic and a major cause of morbidity and mortality because it increases the risk for comorbidities, including heart disease and fatty liver disease (MASLD). Rates of these disorders have risen as the ...
Phys.org / Scientists boost mitochondria to burn more calories
Researchers have developed experimental drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn more calories. The findings could open the door to new treatments for obesity and improve metabolic ...
Phys.org / Radio black hole trio lights up in rare galaxy merger
Astronomers have confirmed the first known triple system in which all three galaxies host actively feeding, radio-bright supermassive black holes.
Phys.org / 'Never move around a flaming dessert': A scientist explains the chemistry of a Christmas pudding
Christmas means different things to different people. For me, it's an opportunity to eat celebratory foods that aren't available all year round.
Phys.org / Why mangoes fall before they're ripe—and how science is helping them hang on
Ever wondered why your mango tree drops fruit before it's ripe? Each season, mango growers across Australia watch helplessly as millions of mangoes fall to the ground too early.
