Phys.org / Microcrystals in bioluminescent fish scatter light like a prism
Approximately 75% of marine organisms are bioluminescent, with specialized light-emitting organs called photophores. They use the light they produce for various purposes, like attracting mates, luring prey, or confusing predators.
Medical Xpress / Magnet-guided soft robots could lead to safer treatment of life-threatening blood clots
Researchers at Concordia have developed an AI-assisted technique and a robotic platform that may one day help surgeons perform safer, faster and less invasive procedures to treat conditions such as blood clots located deep ...
Phys.org / Tiny on-chip circuit could power next-generation quantum and AI technologies
Researchers from Monash University have developed a breakthrough nanoscale circuit that can generate, direct, and read light-based information, all on a single chip.
Tech Xplore / '5-in-1' seed-sized surgical robot switches tools in under one second
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a tiny seed-sized robot that can navigate across soft and uneven surfaces to perform five surgical functions wirelessly, paving the ...
Phys.org / New three‑dimensional magnetic structure discovered with laser light
Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic structures for the first time. By using light as a remote control, researchers were able to switch ...
Medical Xpress / CAR T moves beyond cancer, targeting autoimmune disease with immune system reset
At age 49, Jan Janisch-Hanzlik's multiple sclerosis was destroying her freedom to live the life she wanted. She gave up her active nursing job for a desk role. Frequent falls made her afraid to carry her grandchildren. She ...
Phys.org / Tiny sesame sea slug species discovered in the waters of northern Taiwan
Translucent, speckled, and barely the size of a grain of rice, a new species of sea slug has been identified in the coastal waters of Keelung, Taiwan. Because of its minute size and distinctive black and yellow markings, ...
Medical Xpress / Memory decline after menopause linked to loss of estrogen production in brain tissue
A largely overlooked space between cells in women's brains may hold the key to understanding memory loss tied to estrogen decline after menopause, reports a new preclinical Northwestern Medicine study.
Medical Xpress / How a distinct communication subspace in the brain turns goals into actions
Humans continuously adapt their actions and behaviors in response to changes in their surrounding environment. Past neuroscience studies suggest that this adaptation process relies on the brain's ability to translate abstract ...
Medical Xpress / Inhaled fine particulate matter travels beyond the lungs to the brain, radiocarbon nanotracing reveals
Checking the fine particulate matter levels along with the weather every morning has become a daily routine. Research continues to show that fine particulate matter affects not only the respiratory system but also the brain ...
Phys.org / 'Curious' dolphin charms French town but experts concerned
A young bottlenose dolphin has taken up residence in the waters of the French beach town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, delighting locals and tourists while raising concerns about the animal's safety.
Tech Xplore / Online age checks create a pointless privacy risk
New cybersecurity research indicates that one of the world's leading age verification providers collects and shares highly sensitive personal data—including facial photos and device fingerprints—with third parties. The research ...
