Phys.org / One storm pushed world's rarest great ape closer to extinction in Sumatra
Climate change-fueled landslides wiped out nearly one in 10 remaining members of the world's rarest great ape species on Indonesia's Sumatra island, scientists said Wednesday.
Phys.org / AI model 'hears' Bryde's whale calls in seismic data from South China Sea
Researchers have repurposed an AI model designed for visual identification tasks to detect Bryde's whale calls contained within seismic data collected in the South China Sea. The detection system precisely identified calls ...
Phys.org / Open-source FLIM Playground could speed reproducible analysis of complex cell images
Modern fluorescence microscopy can generate images of living cells as stunning to look at as they are informative to study. For techniques like fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), those images provide a window ...
Medical Xpress / Human-caused warming linked to childhood stunting across Africa
In 2022, about 149 million children younger than 5 worldwide suffered from childhood stunting. A critical marker of chronic undernutrition, stunting is more than a metric of physical height. It represents a lifelong constraint ...
Medical Xpress / Sleep and exercise may curb heart risk from mutant white blood cells
Healthy sleep and regular exercise can work to counteract genetic mutations in white blood cells that are associated with cardiovascular disease and are most common among older people, Mount Sinai researchers have found. ...
Tech Xplore / What confusing code does to developers: Brain and eye tracking reveal surprise response
How do software developers respond when they come across code they do not intuitively understand? Neuropsychologists have now explored this question by recording brain activity alongside eye movements. A team of psycholinguists ...
Phys.org / How bacteria organize themselves to 'hitchhike' across large distances
While scientists have studied how bacteria move toward food using a chemical radar known as chemotaxis, they have only watched single species swim in isolated environments over distances of only a few centimeters.
Medical Xpress / Brain tumor map finds immune cell states that may predict meningioma recurrence
One of the most detailed maps to date of meningioma—the most common brain tumor in adults—reveals how the tumor's surrounding environment helps drive disease behavior and patient outcomes, according to new research from Mayo ...
Medical Xpress / A brain-computer interface that works with—not against—the brain
It might soon be "game over" for the video game controller. Yale researchers have developed a new kind of brain-computer interface (BCI) that lets humans play video games directly with their brains. Using real-time fMRI (functional ...
Phys.org / 'Cool Routes' finds cooler walking paths with hourly forecasts and street-level shade data
The Arizona sunshine hits like a blowtorch. The pavement radiates heat like a stove burner. To make hot-weather walking less of an ordeal, Arizona State University researchers have created a web-based app that finds the coolest, ...
Medical Xpress / 1 in 3 middle-aged adults struggle with basic 'everyday' health tasks, study finds
A new Northwestern University study has found one in three middle-aged American adults ages 35 to 64 cannot consistently read prescription instructions correctly, understand medical forms or recall details from doctor visits ...
Phys.org / Giant kelp's microscopic light antenna could inspire innovative climate solutions
New research reveals the microscopic machinery that helps giant kelp turn sunlight into energy, providing inspiration for innovative climate solutions. The study, published in Nature Communications, mapped one of the tiny ...
