Phys.org / Injectable nanoparticles make blind retinas respond to light in preclinical study
An international research team has developed microscopic particles that can make blind retinas respond to light. The particles act as tiny light receptors. Researchers inject them into the eye, where they settle close to ...
Medical Xpress / Strength training causes fat cells to shrink even before weight loss, study suggests
Just seven days of strength training increased visceral fat burning in obese mice, even before any weight loss could be seen on a scale. In an experiment conducted at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), researchers ...
Phys.org / Children born today in Europe will live through almost twice as much extreme fire weather as their grandparents
A child born in Europe in 2025 will live through more than three additional years of extreme fire weather compared with someone born in 1950 if we continue with current climate policies, according to new research published ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-mapping framework reveals shifts in information flow during pain and movie watching
In the brain, information travels among distributed networks, groups of interconnected regions that work together and contribute to specific behaviors, feelings or thoughts. To study how information travels through these ...
Tech Xplore / Will AI models achieve the ability to improve autonomously? Leading labs say the scenario is near
Once a distant ambition for technology researchers, the prospect of artificial intelligence models teaching themselves autonomously to be more efficient and capable appears ever closer to reality.
Phys.org / Physicists crack the math connecting ultraslow quantum magnetism to ultrafast black-hole physics
A team led by University at Buffalo physicists has found a mathematical solution that shows how a frustrated quantum magnet can transition from ultraslow behavior to ultrafast, highly entangled behavior resembling that of ...
Phys.org / Hubble spots an out-of-sync galaxy
Though the spiral galaxy in this new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope seems serene, it hides a chaotic secret. This galaxy is NGC 4698, and it lies about 55 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. ...
Phys.org / Carbon nanotube foams reveal a new kind of mechanical memory
In their earliest years of development, computers used mechanical gears and levers to store information. Today, researchers are exploring whether a material itself can hold onto information, storing memory in how it bends ...
Phys.org / Who benefits from tariffs, according to research
Tariffs are usually debated as trade policy. But a study from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business treats them as something else: a mechanism for redistributing wealth.
Medical Xpress / Cocaine hijacks a brain circuit that naturally supports flexible behavior
Researchers have identified a brain circuit that normally supports flexible behavior but is recruited by cocaine to drive increasingly rigid and repetitive behavior. Published in the journal Current Biology, the findings ...
Medical Xpress / AI assistant learns from radiology reports to spot problems in abdominal scans
An abdominal CT scan packs an extraordinary amount of information into a single image, layering dozens of organs and hundreds of possible conditions. It's widely considered one of the most complex scans in medicine to read, ...
Phys.org / Elusive builders of nearly perfect hexagonal tunnel fossils were probably small crustaceans—not worms
For more than 170 years, paleontologists have been trying to solve the mystery of what created the strangely uniform hexagonal tunnels found in fossils. In a new study published in Earth Science Reviews, a team of researchers ...
