Phys.org / Sniffer dogs tested in real-world scenarios reveal need for wider access to explosives
Dogs aren't just our best friends, they're also key allies in the fight against terrorism. Thousands of teams of explosive detection dogs and their handlers work 24/7 at airports, transit systems, cargo facilities, and public ...
Phys.org / Machine learning helps identify 'thermal switch' for next-generation nanomaterials
Imagine being able to program materials to control heat like you can control a light with a dimmer switch. By simply squeezing or stretching the materials, you can make them hotter or colder.
Tech Xplore / Many rooftops are perfect for solar but owners and renters can't afford it—here's our answer
Australians love rooftop solar power. About 4 million homes have solar panels on their roofs, and we generate more solar energy per person than any other country.
Medical Xpress / AI-powered method combines blood data to more accurately measure biological age
Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) have developed an innovative new way to measure biological age, which could make it easier to detect and track age-related conditions.
Phys.org / First-ever detection of 'heavy water' in a planet-forming disk
The discovery of ancient water in a planet-forming disk reveals that some of the water found in comets—and maybe even Earth—is older than the disk's star itself, offering breakthrough insights into the history of water ...
Phys.org / Framework models light-matter interactions in nonlinear optical microscopy to determine atomic structure
Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense laser light—researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting enzymes to weaken cancer cells could supercharge prostate cancer treatment
An international study has uncovered a new vulnerability in prostate cancer cells that could help improve treatment for one of the most common cancers affecting men.
Medical Xpress / Veterans study finds updated COVID-19 shot reduces hospital visits and death
Veterans Research and Education Foundation of St. Louis reports that the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine was associated with lower risks of COVID-19–related emergency visits, hospitalizations, and deaths in a national cohort ...
Medical Xpress / An LLM that can process and display transmitted cardiac data in real time
In addition to linguistic prompts, large language models can also understand, interpret, and adapt their responses to heart frequency data. Dr. Morris Gellisch, previously of Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and now at University ...
Phys.org / DNA signaling cascades offer a better way to monitor drug therapy at home
Chemists at Université de Montréal have developed "signaling cascades" made with DNA molecules to report and quantify the concentration of various molecules in a drop of blood, all within five minutes.
Medical Xpress / Living in an unequal society impacts the structure of children's brains, study finds
The distribution of wealth between different people living in specific geographical regions has changed substantially over the past decades, with some segments of the population benefiting most from economic growth than others. ...
Phys.org / Atom-scale stencil patterns help nanoparticles take new shapes and learn new tricks
Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, allowing them to "paint" gold nanoparticles with polymers to give them an array of new shapes and functions.
