Medical Xpress / Breastfeeding may protect against ADHD symptoms
A new study from the University of Bergen shows an association between breastfeeding up to 6 months of age and a reduced risk of ADHD symptoms from ages 3 to 8.
Tech Xplore / Light-controlled microgripper bridges the gap between precision and force
For some time, researchers have used optical tweezers to manipulate tiny objects with incredible precision, using carefully controlled beams of laser light. So far, however, this technique has always come with strict limits ...
Phys.org / Apple rootstock response varies to threshold water management during 6 weeks of progressing drought
As drought and water uncertainty put increasing pressure on orchard systems, researchers at the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Appalachian Fruit Research Station in Kearneysville, West Virginia, launched a study in ...
Phys.org / Laser experiments push helium to record shock pressures
Deep inside gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, hydrogen and helium coexist under pressures millions of times greater than Earth's atmosphere. Under those conditions, helium may separate from hydrogen and influence a planet's ...
Phys.org / This single well-known and widespread butterfly is actually three species in disguise
The tropical rainforests of Central and South America are among the most biodiverse places on Earth. Costa Rica alone is home to half a million species, five times more than exist in the entire country of Canada, despite ...
Medical Xpress / Opposing protein pathways steer skin stem cells toward renewal or repair
Two proteins with opposing functions orchestrate the development and maintenance of healthy skin, Stanford Medicine researchers have found. Modulating their activity with topical drugs could reduce inflammation, aid wound ...
Medical Xpress / Healthy gut microbes in 6-week-old infants linked to lower risk of malaria during first year of life
In a small study in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 6-week-old infants with healthy gut microbiomes were less likely to contract malaria in their first year of life. While the study is preliminary, it suggests the possibility ...
Phys.org / Euclid captures 60 million stars in sharpest broad view of Milky Way's core
For just one day, our dark universe detective, Euclid, turned its gaze toward the light: the extremely bright inner region of our Milky Way galaxy, known as the galactic bulge. This special request came from astronomers who ...
Phys.org / Japan's small cities may face higher care burdens under the compact city policy
As populations decline and age across the developed world, compact city strategies, which oversee the consolidation of urban facilities and guide residents toward transit-served hubs, have become mainstream policies. Yet ...
Tech Xplore / Sound waves could power a new kind of chip inspired by the human brain
Neuromorphic computing is a computing approach that mimics how the human brain works. Our gray matter is a marvel of nature, capable of handling huge volumes of data with incredible energy efficiency. While modern AI hardware ...
Phys.org / Students' climate model of deadly July 4 Texas flooding suggests sea surface temperatures actually reduced rainfall
Last fall, the 12 students in the Jackson School of Geosciences' GEO 347G "Climate System Modeling" class set out to understand something that hit close to home: What were the climatological factors that made the July 4, ...
Tech Xplore / AI can be an ally in rooting out ransomware threats
AI can be used to prevent cybersecurity threats linked to ransomware, says University of Cincinnati researcher Nelly Elsayed.
