Phys.org / Pulsed radiofrequency magnetic fields may disorient migratory birds, experiments suggest
Every year, millions of migratory birds travel between different geographical regions on Earth to find food, escape cold weather or reach safe environments to raise chicks. To determine which direction to fly, these birds ...
Tech Xplore / Why do we labor when reading some words but not others? AI offers a partial answer
Why do we breeze through some sentences in a book or article but have to reread others to comprehend their meaning? A team of linguists and data scientists has found a partial answer in AI—some of this processing parallels ...
Phys.org / Corn-stalk sugars feed new bacterial strain designed to make useful chemicals
Engineers have developed a strain of a common bacterial species that can feed exclusively on the three major sugars present in corn stalks. While the new multiple-sugar-consuming strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida ...
Medical Xpress / New study finds bacterial infections affect about 1 in 20 hospitalized adults with firearm injuries
A new study by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) found that bacterial infections develop in approximately 5% of adults hospitalized with firearm injuries, with most infections occurring ...
Medical Xpress / Solving a mysterious inflammatory fever opens the book on a much bigger story
Three research teams working independently around the world have landed on the same discovery: A single molecular "handshake" inside our cells controls a family of inflammatory diseases, including one of the most common inherited ...
Tech Xplore / AI framework rooted in cognitive science could complete tasks more efficiently
In recent years, computer scientists have developed a wide range of artificial intelligence (AI) models that can rapidly recognize patterns in data, generate content and solve other computational problems. Many of these AI ...
Medical Xpress / Traditional prostate cancer risk factors do not predict hormone therapy benefit, study finds
A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that while traditional pathological features used to classify aggressive prostate cancer—such as high-grade disease, cancer extending ...
Phys.org / Using salt to drive drug-carrying particles deeper into difficult-to-treat biofilms
Biofilms—bacterial communities encased in a sticky, polymer-rich matrix—can be difficult to treat because that matrix slows antibiotics and drug-carrying particles. With help from salt, though, Yale researchers have found ...
Phys.org / Jackie, the California bald eagle who became an internet sensation, dies after illness
Jackie, the bald eagle who became an internet sensation and a symbol of the species' recovery in California, died Monday after being treated for an illness at a veterinary facility, her caretakers announced.
Tech Xplore / AI and electrolyte engineering open new paths for better batteries
Cornell researchers are using artificial intelligence to speed the search for better battery materials while using a creative approach to chemistry to expand the design space for electrolytes, unlocking new possibilities ...
Phys.org / When fever isn't the answer: Infected tadpoles cool themselves to fight viruses
Fever is one of the best-known mechanisms by which animals combat infectious diseases. Sick animals can increase their body temperature in two ways: through physiological regulation, by altering internal metabolic processes, ...
Medical Xpress / Study reveals growing signs of malaria drug resistance in Ethiopia
Researchers have identified genetic changes in malaria parasites that may reduce the effectiveness of key antimalarial medicines, highlighting the need for continued surveillance.
