Phys.org / Electrical pulses reverse aging in sea squirts, offering clues for extending human longevity
A tiny sea creature might hold the secret to reversing the aging process. When treated with a brief series of electrical pulses, sea squirts experience dramatic and long-lasting health improvements that can significantly ...
Medical Xpress / Influencers are promoting dangerous peptides on social media, and regulators are struggling to keep up
Once confined to niche bodybuilding forums and hardcore gyms, unproven injectable peptides are now being openly marketed online to the average gym-goer by social media influencers—and regulators struggling to keep up.
Medical Xpress / Blood test with AI spots four dementia-related brain diseases with 92.3% accuracy
Many people living with dementia never receive an accurate diagnosis, in part because Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and related conditions are notoriously difficult to tell apart and often occur together. Now, ...
Phys.org / Memory-preserving transistors could bypass the Boltzmann limit
Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the intrinsic limits in efficiency faced by conventional semiconductor transistors, imposed by the laws ...
Phys.org / A trip to the United Arab Emirates' darkest spot reveals a rare view of the Milky Way
The gleaming skyscrapers and bright lights of the United Arab Emirates draw the eyes of all who travel there, a sign of the Arabian Peninsula nation's rapid, oil-fueled development over the last decades into a major hub for ...
Medical Xpress / AI repurposes routine chest X-rays to catch silent bone loss before fracture
Osteoporosis is a silent disease where bone loss develops gradually before fractures occur. Current clinical screening recommendations mainly focus on older women and selected high-risk groups, leaving some men, younger adults, ...
Phys.org / Quantum teleportation carries microwave states at temperatures up to 4 K, beating classical limit
A growing number of quantum engineers worldwide have been trying to realize large-scale quantum networks, which consist of several connected quantum computers or devices that share information with each other. The successful ...
Medical Xpress / TikTok content supports 'illicit vape subculture' among teens, study finds
According to research from the University of East Anglia (UEA), young people are far more likely to encounter illicit vaping content portrayed as normal, humorous and harmless on TikTok. Meanwhile, evidence-based health advice ...

Legal reforms designed to curb the abusive use of "SLAPPs" are insufficient to stop the rich and powerful trying to block freedom of speech, a new study warns. Measures in the U.S., U.K. and the EU to stop strategic lawsuits ...
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists clear a path to stream 3D 'volumetric' video
New research by Brown University computer scientists may be a key step in bringing volumetric video—video that can be viewed from virtually any perspective in a 3D scene—to computers and smart televisions.
Phys.org / Reading brachycephalic dogs' facial expressions requires extra cognitive processing by humans
People often look to dogs' behavior, especially their facial expressions, for indications of their states of mind. Numerous studies show that this is a popular interpretation strategy. However, modern dog breeds vary greatly ...
Science X / Every breath counts—tiny airborne particles are hitting vulnerable hearts where patients can least afford it
PM2.5 is made up of tiny airborne particles no larger than 2.5 micrometers—about 30 times thinner than a strand of human hair. Just like any other particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers, PM2.5 is a known health hazard ...
