Medical Xpress / Video of tiny vessels in the eye assessed by AI may replace needle sticks for anemia screening
A new collaborative study by Tel Aviv University and Sheba Medical Center marks a significant advance toward noninvasive blood testing, one of the most significant unmet needs in the market. The researchers have developed ...
Phys.org / Language-based screeners may miss kids who struggle to read due to visual-processing issues
Reading difficulties, like dyslexia, are common and often affect achievement and outcomes during school and later in life. A new study, published in Current Biology, reports that current methods used to test for reading disabilities ...
Tech Xplore / AI and physics draw a blueprint for better hydrogen storage materials
Hydrogen can become a clever way to store renewable energy and power fuel cells—but this introduces the problem of what can store this hydrogen, in turn. Metal hydrides—solids that absorb hydrogen into their crystal structures—are ...
Phys.org / Growing up gets less scary with time, research finds
As young adults, many millennials feared growing up more than past generations. But they've come around to it as they age, research published in the journal Developmental Psychology has found.

Medical Xpress / Unfolding stomach capsule could target ulcer-causing bacteria for 48 hours
Between 50% and 100% of people in countries with poor access to clean water are infected with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium is a leading cause of stomach ulcers, and it can even cause gastric cancer.
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI architecture could compute faster while using far less power
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are artificial intelligence (AI) models inspired by how biological neurons communicate with each other. While biological neurons exchange information in the form of electrical impulses, SNNs ...
Medical Xpress / CAR T cell therapy leads to 10-year remissions in B-cell lymphoma patients
After a median follow-up of 10 years, more than one-third of patients with large B-cell lymphoma and nearly half of patients with follicular lymphoma who received a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel—the CAR T-cell therapy ...
Tech Xplore / A new type of pixel can steer and analyze light, paving way for devices that function as both camera and display
In 1927, the term "picture element," later abbreviated to "pixel," appeared for the first time in the American technology magazine Wireless World. Today, pixels are everywhere: in computer screens and television sets, where ...
Medical Xpress / Hope for spinal injuries as pigs walk again after experimental gel treatment for severed spinal cords
In humans and other mammals, spinal cord injuries can be devastating, leading to permanent loss of movement, sensation and bladder control. When severed axons (the long fibers that carry messages between nerve cells) cannot ...
Phys.org / Self-propelled actin filaments may explain how cells change shape spontaneously
Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of self-organization have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered self-propelled treadmilling ...
Medical Xpress / AI-aided 'master key' vaccine may block entire virus families, not single strains
Known by acronyms that need no explanation, viruses like COVID, SARS and Ebola conjure images of medics in protective suits and spark fear in populations worldwide.
