Phys.org / AI-enhanced microscopy produces crisp, real-time video inside live cells
Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the inner workings of living cells in real time. The process both captures images that are twice as sharp ...
Phys.org / This new tool makes AI's role in student writing visible
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed college writing. As paper drafts are increasingly co-written with AI, professors are left wondering not whether students are using AI, but how. A 2025 AI in Education ...
Medical Xpress / Say Cheese3D: A new model can help track facial expressions
Love, pain, joy, fear, desire: the full spectrum of emotion resides in facial expression. We grasp this almost intuitively. However, we still lack a quantifiable understanding of the nuanced relationship between the face ...
Phys.org / More activity means less response in active materials
For some time, researchers have assumed that solid materials could gain more useful properties by making their microscopic components more active. Now, a team led by Jack Binysh at the University of Amsterdam has found that ...
Tech Xplore / This artificial retina doesn't just aim to restore sight—it opens a hidden channel of vision
The retina, the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye, is made up of photoreceptor cells that convert visible light into electrical signals, which is essential for human vision. Some diseases, such as retinal degeneration, ...
Tech Xplore / Battery-free textile turns clothing into a real-time blood pressure monitor
Over the past decades, technological advances have opened remarkable possibilities for the detection and monitoring of various physiological signals associated with heart health (e.g., heart rate and ECG), sleep stages and ...
Medical Xpress / How creative therapy may help rewire the ADHD brain
How can ADHD be both a source of daily struggle for millions and a common trait among highly accomplished artists and innovators like Justin Timberlake and Simone Biles? The science behind this paradox is the focus of new ...
Phys.org / The threat of light pollution puts the world's darkest skies in the Atacama Desert at risk
It takes a moment for the eyes to adjust. A faint spark appears in the darkness; then another, brighter one. Soon, stars, planets and entire constellations emerge. Before long, a whole galaxy stretches across the sky, visible ...
Science X / Alien comet carries record-heavy water, and its birthplace looks nothing like our cosmic neighborhood
Less than a year ago, astronomers discovered a comet soaring through our sky that was not from our solar system. Although we still don't know where this interstellar object called 3I/ATLAS came from, research led by the University ...
Phys.org / The fake disease that fooled the internet, and what it says about all of us
Until a few years ago, no one had heard of bixonimania. Then, in 2024, a group of scientists posted findings online announcing the condition, which they claimed affected the eyes after computer use. However, the scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking immune 'signal two' expands gut tolerance cells, may open new IBD treatments
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators made an unexpected finding about how the immune system normally suppresses inappropriate chronic inflammation in the intestine, potentially opening new avenues for therapies against inflammatory ...
Medical Xpress / After assault, OCD risk rises fastest in first year, pointing to a critical care window
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurring intrusive thoughts (i.e., obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (i.e., compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety. This disorder is estimated ...
