Medical Xpress / The brain can unlock true multitasking after intensive training
New research by Georgetown scientists shows how the brain rewires itself to automate learned tasks. The findings challenge a long-held understanding of how humans master complex skills, suggesting that true multitasking is ...
Phys.org / Billions are going into fish passage projects, but planning methods can undercut results
Fish that split their lives between fresh and salt water often face obstacles getting back and forth. Dams and roads fracture river networks and interfere with traditional migratory routes, sparking concerns about fish health ...
Medical Xpress / Inside Alzheimer's neurons, tau may set off a genetic chain reaction that ends in cell death
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental functions and memory loss. Along with frontotemporal dementia and some other neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer's disease ...
Tech Xplore / Framework generates 'shadow art' from scan of any object
Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art. Others appreciate art but do not have the talent to create it. Researchers at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science have ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineered materials can store and release hydrogen at room temperature
Energy engineers worldwide are working on various new technologies that could help to limit greenhouse gas emissions on Earth and address climate change. One proposed alternative to polluting fossil fuels, such as petrol, ...
Medical Xpress / Brain circuit links memory to hearing, revealing how learned sounds guide behavior
Short-term memories are thought to be formed deep within the brain in structures such as the hippocampus, but little is known about how and where memory-related information is kept in the brain or the process of drawing on ...
Phys.org / With ShakeAlert installations complete, researchers explore offshore expansion
The ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system has been rapidly expanding since its launch in 2021. Now, researchers at University of Washington affiliated Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) have finished all planned ...
Medical Xpress / Popular GLP-1 drug may slow down biological aging, analysis indicates
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medications have gained widespread attention for effectively treating obesity, lowering blood sugar and decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Some researchers have ...
Phys.org / Tiny-armed alvarezsauroid dinosaurs might have been insect eaters, fossil scans suggest
Dinosaurs are estimated to have roamed Earth for over 165 million years, gradually evolving over time to survive in changing environments. Among the many fascinating groups of dinosaurs known to have lived on our planet are ...
Tech Xplore / Battleship-trained AI learns to ask sharper questions, boosting win rate from 8% to 82%
In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before. These semi-autonomous programs can "think" and execute well-defined tasks in areas like customer service and software development, typically ...
Phys.org / Majestic manta rays dive deep to survive storm events, data reveal
New research led by the University of the Sunshine Coast has found that reef manta rays are diving deep in storm events to find food and stay alive. As World Environment Day is celebrated around the globe on June 5, the findings ...
Phys.org / DNA repair enzyme uses one-dimensional sliding to detect key sites, researchers reveal
DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In particular, if "apurinic/apyrimidinic sites" (AP sites, damaged sites where one letter of DNA information ...
