Phys.org / RNA-only repair enzyme reveals how primordial life could have protected genomes
In most modern cells, DNA stores the genetic blueprint, and proteins replicate, repair and build from those blueprints. At the same time, proteins require instructions from DNA to be made in the first place.
Medical Xpress / Neck pain at work may stem from poor sleep, stress and high workload—not just bad posture, AI study shows
Artificial intelligence could predict an individual office worker's risk of musculoskeletal injury in specific body parts, a study by QUT health and data scientists has found.
Tech Xplore / New method aims to keep kids safe from illegal AI-generated content
Researchers developed an auditing technique to test generative AI models for malicious capabilities without prompting them for illegal outputs.
Tech Xplore / Researchers propose light-driven random number generator for image security
While security systems based on pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) have been developed to secure information use, they produce sequences that are not truly random and suffer from inherent vulnerabilities and security ...
Medical Xpress / Cellular recycling protein plays critical protective role in the gut
Australian researchers have discovered that even a modest reduction in the protein BECLIN1 leads to a significant increase in gut inflammation, which can lead to further disease and complications over time.
Tech Xplore / Tiny chip that controls mid-infrared light could improve detection of gases and heat
Infrared cameras can be used to spot useful information that our eyes can't see, such as gases escaping from a pipeline, chemicals in the atmosphere or heat leaking from a building. But sensing infrared light in sophisticated ...
Medical Xpress / Watching nature videos can help relieve stress, study finds
When stressed, it's important to find healthy ways to cope. Getting outdoors is a proven way to do so. But not everyone has easy access to nature. That's where nature videos might help, according to a North Carolina State ...
Phys.org / Atomic‐scale tracing of lithium trapped in copper current collectors
Any loss of lithium reduces the capacity and service life of lithium batteries. Recent research suggested that lithium is lost to the current collector during charging. Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, working ...
Medical Xpress / Populationwide DNA screening expands genetic risk testing beyond major medical centers
Some people inherit genetic changes that put them at higher risk of developing certain cancers or heart disease. A simple genetic test can identify those risks early, creating opportunities to prevent disease or detect it ...
Tech Xplore / Thread-like electronics point to less obtrusive wearable health monitors
Imagine using a wearable device so thin and discreet that you'd hardly be aware you were wearing it. Now Tufts engineers have created flexible electronics that could do just that. Made of thread-based integrated circuits ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop a safer, more reliable material for growing small-scale models of the human gut
Scientists can use patient-derived tissue samples to grow miniature versions of human organs, allowing them to test new medications and disease treatments for personalized care.
Tech Xplore / Turning fly ash waste into greener tire rubber
Tires are essential to modern transport, but their production and use raise environmental concerns. One important issue is zinc oxide, a common activator used in rubber vulcanization. Zinc oxide helps rubber form the crosslinked ...
