Phys.org / New DNA base editor minimizes bystander edits while maintaining high efficiency
The trajectory of base editing has been remarkable, progressing from the laboratory to patient care, treating debilitating or terminal illnesses, in less than a decade. A type of gene editing that makes chemical changes to ...
Tech Xplore / Expanding computing resources with light for AI datacenters
A team of Korean researchers has developed the world's first technology that can freely connect and disconnect core computing resources such as memory and accelerators with "light" in next-generation artificial intelligence ...
Medical Xpress / Smartwatch and blood test data combine to better predict insulin resistance and diabetes
Around 20–40% of the general population are estimated to have insulin resistance—a condition where insulin begins to be less effective in the body, and glucose regulation becomes more difficult. Eventually, this can lead ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell therapy shows promise for reversing aging-related frailty in new clinical trial
Stem cells are gaining attention for their potential to treat leukemia, certain solid tumor cancers, and inherited metabolic disorders. Now, a clinical trial reports that a single dose can significantly improve physical strength ...
Medical Xpress / Why some moments endure: Episodic memory encoding fluctuates with brain's theta rhythms
For almost a century, psychologists and neuroscientists have been trying to understand how humans memorize different types of information, ranging from knowledge or facts to the recollection of important events. Past studies ...
Medical Xpress / Synaptic connectivity alone can reveal neuron types
Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial connectomes in mammals, involving the mapping of the network of neurons and synaptic connections. Accurate ...
Tech Xplore / Light becomes matter: Shadowless projection mapping makes images indistinguishable from print
Projection mapping is widely known as a lighting technique that overlays images onto buildings or objects to create visual effects. In fields such as extended reality (XR) and vision science, however, researchers have suggested ...
Phys.org / Bell-bottoms today, miniskirts tomorrow: Math reveals fashion's 20-year cycle
Fashion insiders and beauty magazines have long cited the "20-year-rule"—the idea that clothing trends often resurface every two decades. According to Northwestern University scientists, that observation isn't just anecdotal. ...
Phys.org / TESS discovers a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting nearby star
Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a new super-Earth exoplanet orbiting a star located about 83 light years away. The newfound alien world is slightly larger than Earth and ...
Medical Xpress / A decade of baseball data shows the designated hitter system does not affect how teams win
In the original form of baseball, all nine players bat and play defense, including the pitcher. The designated hitter system lets a team add a tenth player to the starting lineup—a specialist batter who replaces the pitcher ...
Phys.org / NASA returns moon rocket to pad, eyeing April 1 launch
NASA on Thursday began returning its towering SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft to its Florida launch pad ahead of a planned flyby of the moon, after completing necessary repairs.
Phys.org / Integrative archaeogenetics reveal how Southern Andean communities adopted farming and endured crises
An interdisciplinary study published in Nature reconstructs over 2,000 years of population history in Argentina's Uspallata Valley (UV), a southern frontier of Andean farming spread in ancient times, with broader lessons ...
