Phys.org / Brain-inspired nanopore device uses current-induced heating for memory operations
Some researchers are leaning into biology for inspiration in computing. In particular, neuromorphic computing offers a brain-inspired approach to hardware that replaces traditional binary processing with systems that function ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop DNA-delivered immunotherapy that targets ovarian cancer more effectively
Wistar scientists have developed a new type of bispecific T cell engager, or BTE, that is effective against ovarian cancer in preclinical studies. It's a major development for this type of immunotherapy, which has been used ...
Medical Xpress / New imaging method tracks cancer from whole body to individual cells
One of the biggest challenges in cancer research has been linking the "big picture" seen in medical scans with the microscopic biology that drives tumor growth and dictates how patients respond to treatment. Now, by combining ...
Phys.org / Alien world chemistry found inside meteorite that struck New Jersey home
On July 16, 2024, a daytime meteor shook New York City with a sonic boom as it passed just south of the Statue of Liberty. Now, an international team of researchers reports in the journal Science Advances that a short time ...
Phys.org / Carnaby's cockatoos exposed to dangerous pesticide concentrations in WA's Wheatbelt
A new Murdoch University study has uncovered alarming levels of pesticide contamination in the food sources of endangered Carnaby's cockatoos in the Wheatbelt—including concentrations well above regulatory limits found in ...
Phys.org / Nearby rocky planet may be replenishing helium from atmosphere, study finds
Nearly a decade after the discovery of LHS 1140b, a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of a nearby low-mass star, a new study reveals that the object may have its own atmosphere.
Phys.org / Ultraviolet light uncovers the first known juveniles of a mysterious Jurassic fish family
For more than 150 years, fossils of Jurassic fish scattered across Europe's museums were studied and drawn by generations of scientists. However, when a paleontologist decided to shine an ultraviolet light on them, a hidden ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid magnetic brain stimulation eases depression within days, but benefits fade within weeks
Despite decades of advances in mental health care, depression remains one of the world's most disabling conditions. Many people with major depressive disorder (MDD) fail to find lasting relief from antidepressants or psychological ...
Phys.org / What one of Emperor Hadrian's latrines is telling us about the durability of Roman concrete
One of the many marvels of the Roman world is that some of its buildings are still with us. But why have they lasted for so long when some relatively modern structures are in a state of decay after a few decades?
Medical Xpress / AI detection not automatically better for colorectal cancer screening in Lynch syndrome, study shows
People with Lynch syndrome, the most common hereditary predisposition to colorectal cancer, face a markedly increased cancer risk and therefore undergo regular colonoscopies. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn ...
Phys.org / Underwater oxygen loss threatens earth's stability, researchers warn
A new review in Limnology and Oceanography led by scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography warns that the rapid loss of oxygen from the ocean and other aquatic ecosystems is pushing Earth toward an ...
Medical Xpress / Excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases risk of serious complications, no matter your weight
A study of more than 1 million women has found that excessive weight gain during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of potentially life-threatening complications, regardless of whether starting weights were considered ...
