Phys.org / AI finds tiny gene editor changes that reduce unintended DNA edits
Gene editing is a highly precise and powerful technology that allows scientists to insert, delete, modify or replace DNA bases in living organisms. It has a variety of uses, including correcting disease-causing mutations ...
Medical Xpress / Soft, sticky, stretchable biosensors can pick up signals through hair, sweat, bending and stretching
Biosensors have revolutionized home health care over the past two decades. Devices like wearable heart rate and blood glucose monitors are giving people with chronic health conditions the information and assurance they need ...
Phys.org / Quantum neural networks get their first hardware test
Neural networks have transformed how machines find patterns in data, from recognizing faces in photos to predicting the shapes of proteins. So far, all of this progress has been made on ordinary classical computers, but with ...
Phys.org / Psychologist develops puzzle that can tell you how fast you think
A puzzle that can tell players how fast they think on their feet has been developed by a University of Leeds researcher.
Phys.org / Prolonged stretching reorganizes tissue scaffolds and uncages cell nuclei
How do tissues cope with being stretched for hours or even days? A study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has uncovered an unexpected answer: Cells radically reorganize their internal ...
Medical Xpress / Working memory rapidly updates its priorities after distractions, study finds
When humans tackle many everyday tasks, ranging from driving to completing household chores and work assignments, they rely heavily on working memory. This is the brain's ability to temporarily store and manipulate important ...
Phys.org / Queen bee pheromones help daughters decide whether to stay or leave the nest
Female sweat bees need to make a pivotal life decision: remain in the nest to help their mother raise more offspring or leave to establish nests of their own. New research from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute ...
Medical Xpress / How brain cells restore healthy growth and connections after a disease-causing genetic deletion
Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion. Instead of repairing the ...
Phys.org / A distant primordial object may be a newborn 'Little Red Dot'
The infrared-sensitive James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has conducted multiple surveys of the very distant universe, digging into what was happening in the first billion years after the Big Bang. As part of these deep surveys, ...
Phys.org / Scientists uncover two new ways doxycycline disables bacterial ribosomes
Scientists have discovered two new mechanisms for how a well-established antibiotic works, paving the way for the potential development of new antibiotic treatments.
Phys.org / Why the future of fashion might involve wearing live fungi
The idea of having living fungi cover your body might not be the most appealing thing in the world. But what if it was part of a clothing fabric that could change color, protect you from UV rays and even repair its own tears? ...
Phys.org / How flying together helps Andean condors save energy
Animals are constantly moving to find food, water, suitable habitats, mates and safe places to rest. Because moving requires substantial energy, animals often rely on various biological and behavioral strategies to reduce ...
