Phys.org / New workflow transforms nonfunctional protein scaffolds into active enzymes
Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial enzymes from scratch has so far remained a grand challenge. A research team at the University of Bayreuth, ...
Phys.org / Lamprey brain atlas reveals 450-million-year blueprint of vertebrate brains
What did the very first complex vertebrate brain look like? To find out, scientists turned to an unlikely time traveler: the lamprey, a jawless, eel-like fish whose body plan has barely changed in roughly 360 million years.
Medical Xpress / Hospital AI tool predicts low blood sugar in patients up to 24 hours in advance
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators developed an AI-based model that can identify hospitalized patients at risk of low blood sugar up to 24 hours before the condition occurs. The long short-term memory (LSTM) ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Predicting earthquakes; two types of water; observing event horizons
Howdy, pards, here's a quick roundup of the week's science news: Moose, previously thought to be a transplanted species, are actually native to Colorado. A digital twin of a two-year-old child's brain revealed neural signatures ...
Medical Xpress / New button battery technology shows promise, but swallowing remains an emergency
A recently released child-safety battery designed to reduce the danger from accidental ingestion is showing significant promise, but medical professionals should not alter their management protocols yet. In the first peer-reviewed ...
Tech Xplore / AI assistant uses smartwatches, speech and text to spot distress early
What if your smartwatch could tell when you were struggling emotionally and offer support before you even thought to ask? That's the idea behind a new AI-powered system developed by researchers at the University of Ottawa, ...
Phys.org / A large, harmless asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend
A large asteroid will zip past Earth this weekend, but don't worry: It poses no danger.
Medical Xpress / Heat waves can leave homes dangerously hot, even for young, healthy adults
Most people know that heat waves can be dangerous. What they may not realize is that the heat indoors can be much worse than outdoors.
Phys.org / New research identifies types of dishonesty that occur in a relationship—and their consequences
From "harmless" white lies to infidelity, dishonesty in romantic relationships is a complex phenomenon that takes on many forms. New research from the University of Copenhagen shows that while dishonesty between partners ...
Medical Xpress / How YouTube shapes public understanding of avian influenza
A new study analyzing more than 11,000 YouTube videos and comments found that online narratives surrounding avian influenza evolved alongside major outbreak developments, including increasing reports of infections in mammals, ...
Phys.org / Two humpback whales set records swimming between Australia and Brazil
Scientists have spotted two humpback whales that made separate, record-breaking crossings between Australia and Brazil.
Medical Xpress / Intracellular mechanisms promote tumor survival during hypoxia
Northwestern Medicine scientists have, for the first time, described the underlying mechanisms that regulate how cells rapidly change gene expression in response to hypoxia, a key feature of many treatment-resistant tumors, ...
