Medical Xpress / Same genetic mutation, different clinical outcomes: Study shows why neurodevelopmental disorders vary so widely
Individuals that share the same deletion of a portion of chromosome 16 are at risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders, but some experience severe intellectual disability or developmental delay, while others may only ...
Tech Xplore / Optical AI recovers distorted telecom signals at ultra-high speed, using less energy
Modern communication networks must handle ever-growing volumes of data, driven by cloud services, connected devices, and real-time applications. At the same time, they face a critical constraint: keeping energy consumption ...
Tech Xplore / Oyster cement: Scientists study shellfish to make stronger, faster-curing building material
Building upon the chemistry that oysters use in miles-long reefs, scientists have found a way to create cement that is stronger and cures faster. Jonathan Wilker, a professor of chemistry in Purdue University's College of ...
Phys.org / Greener process recovers over 96% of rare earths from permanent magnets
Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have developed a solid-phase extraction process that enables the eco-friendly recovery of critical raw materials from NdFeB magnets. The developed method utilizes organic ...
Phys.org / Chemistry-aware AI can generate millions of plausible new molecules
Finding and developing new molecules is one of the great research endeavors of modern chemistry. From the development of new drugs to the creation of more sustainable materials, everything depends on finding new combinations ...
Phys.org / Water and 13 hallmarks of complexity trace path from molecules to life
Many properties of molecules cannot be predicted from the properties of the atoms they consist of. These properties only emerge when they are combined—a phenomenon known in science as "emergence." A publication by Goethe ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed interlocking electrodes demonstrate optimization potential for energy storage
Good electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices such as rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors can store a lot of energy and release it quickly, but these design goals are often at odds with each other. Using design ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning reveals two main Parkinson's types and five subgroups
A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that Parkinson's disease can be divided into distinct subtypes, helping explain why a single treatment does not work for all patients. Using a machine-learning-driven ...
Phys.org / Dairy farms in California may transmit H5N1 virus through multiple sources
The H5N1 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been detected in over 700 herds of dairy cows in California, the largest dairy-producing state in the U.S. A study published in PLOS Biology led by Seema S. Lakdawala ...
Medical Xpress / Optimized formula helps lab-grown heart cells act more like adult tissue
Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature lab-grown heart cells, so they more closely resemble adult human heart tissue. By optimizing the chemical ...
Science X / Sweet snacks, sour moods? The unexpected connection in little kids' diets
For little kids, sugary treats might fuel tantrums while fruit-and-vegetable lovers stay calmer. New Norwegian research teases out this surprising link between preschool diets and behavior.
Science X / Even iconic fliers get it wrong: Most birds have not evolved optimal wing-shapes
Even the giant wings of the albatross are not "optimally" shaped for their extraordinary long-distance migrations, according to new University of Bristol research. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that ...
