Phys.org / A possible ice-cold Earth discovered in the archives of the retired Kepler Space Telescope
Scientists continue to mine data gathered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, retired in 2018, and continue to turn up surprises. A new paper reveals the latest: a possible rocky planet slightly larger than Earth, orbiting ...
Phys.org / People are swayed by AI-generated videos even when they know they're fake, study shows
Generative deep learning models are artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can create texts, images, audio files, and videos for specific purposes, following instructions provided by human users. Over the past few years, ...
Medical Xpress / Sex differences in brain growth emerge in the womb, study finds
Cambridge researchers have revealed a detailed picture of how the human brain grows from mid-pregnancy through the first weeks after birth and identified that sex differences in brain growth are apparent from mid-pregnancy ...
Phys.org / Essential oils may provide a natural remedy for antibiotic resistance
Thyme, rosemary, and lavender have long been associated with natural medicine. Today, however, these aromatic plants are increasingly being studied by researchers. "In an era of ever-increasing microbial resistance to antibiotics, ...
Medical Xpress / Big data make hidden genetic drivers of type 2 diabetes visible
Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are actually involved in the disease mechanisms? An international team led by Helmholtz Munich has now used ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep-disordered breathing affects many neonates with myelomeningocele, study finds
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) affects more than half of neonates with myelomeningocele, with prematurity independently linked to higher apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), in adjusted models, according to a study published in ...
Medical Xpress / Fecal transplant capsules show promising results in clinical trials for multiple types of cancer
Fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) can dramatically improve cancer treatment, suggest two groundbreaking studies published in the Nature Medicine journal. The first study shows that the toxic side effects of drugs to treat ...
