Phys.org / Why Large Hadron Collider predictions can miss the mark, and a new way to fix it
Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To improve current simulations ...
Medical Xpress / PET imaging study reveals how ketamine relieves treatment-resistant depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and approximately 30% of patients develop treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a condition that does not respond adequately to conventional ...
Medical Xpress / Deciding for others can lower confidence in one's own judgments
From the moment we wake to the time we hit the bed at night, we make numerous decisions, some big but mostly small. Although decision-making is a fundamental part of human life, researchers have found that the level of difficulty ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict preeclampsia by week 34 of pregnancy
A machine-learning model developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators may provide clinicians with an early warning of a complication that can occur late in pregnancy. Preeclampsia is a sudden onset condition that involves ...
Phys.org / Plant cell structure could hold key to cancer therapies and improved crops
Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in human disease. A team led ...
Medical Xpress / Latest treatments help ease essential tremor symptoms
About a decade ago, Joan Riggs, a 64-year-old from Lemoyne, started to have shaky hands. At first, it was an annoyance. However, as the tremors worsened, they kept her from doing the activities she enjoyed most.
Phys.org / Electric field tunes vibrations to ease heat transfer
New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about controlling heat flow in solid ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny thermometers offer on-chip temperature monitoring for processors
The semiconductor chips driving modern-day computer processors are covered in billions of individual transistors, each of which can overheat under stress, causing steep drops in performance. To address this, a team led by ...
Tech Xplore / Carbon nanotube fiber 'textile' heaters could help industry electrify high-temperature gas heating
A cross-disciplinary team at Rice University has developed a new type of electric heating element—one that looks less like a traditional metal coil and more like a high-performance thread. In a study published in Small, ...
Phys.org / Making mini-lightning in a block of plastic
Lightning formation and the conditions triggering it have long been shrouded in a cloud of mystery, but new research led by Penn State scientists is lifting the fog. Using mathematical calculations, the researchers have discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps complex interplay between cells, metabolism, and immunity in breast cancer lymph node metastasis
A recent integrative analysis of single-cell sequencing and single-cell spatial mapping of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer reveals novel mechanisms of the metabolic-immune interaction that drive the spread of breast ...
Medical Xpress / Temporal lobe epilepsy: A new strategy to correct abnormal electrical activity
Many patients suffer from epilepsy that cannot be controlled by current medications. Surgical removal of epileptogenic brain regions is effective in only about half of cases, and not all patients are eligible for the procedure. ...
