Tech Xplore / Ultra-thin camera delivers 140-degree view with no lens protrusion
A breakthrough technology has emerged to fundamentally solve the camera protrusion/thickness issue, which has been a persistent limitation as smart devices become thinner. A KAIST research team has developed an ultra-thin ...
Phys.org / How a common herbicide affects honeybee brains and behavior
Cultivating flowering plants for pollinator gardens, commercial farms, or home landscapes often relies on the use of herbicides to manage unwanted weeds. Honeybees are attracted to these locations and play a critical role ...
Phys.org / Alignment during conversations is highly situation-dependent, study finds
When people are talking, they can start to unconsciously mirror each other, for instance, in the words they use, their sentence structures and even hand gestures. This tendency to mirror others can lead to smoother conversations, ...
Medical Xpress / Detecting multiple cancers and other diseases from a single blood sample
UCLA scientists have developed a simple and cost-effective blood test that, in early studies, shows promise in detecting multiple cancers, various liver conditions and organ abnormalities simultaneously by analyzing DNA fragments ...
Medical Xpress / A big step toward safe, reversible male contraception
Cornell scientists have taken a major step toward developing a safe, reversible, long-acting and 100% effective nonhormonal male contraceptive, considered the holy grail of male contraception. A proof-of-principle study in ...
Phys.org / Phengite identified as key carrier of halogens into Earth's deep mantle
Surface volatiles—chemical substances that easily become gases or fluids at relatively low temperatures and pressures—are transported into Earth through subduction zones, with some being transported into the deep mantle and ...
Medical Xpress / Being physically fit helps prevent diseases: Study points to causal link
Being physically fit improves our health and keeps illness at bay. This relationship has long been assumed for numerous disorders, but until now there has been no scientific evidence demonstrating a causal link between the ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists reveal a new way cancer cells survive DNA damage
A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential than researchers realized. Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered that the enzyme Pol theta ...
Medical Xpress / How childhood dementia begins in brain cells
An Australian-led international research collaboration has delivered a promising breakthrough in the quest to better understand and treat childhood dementia. Recently published in the journal Nature Communications, the study ...
Phys.org / Why some children with learning difficulties get identified, and others don't
Two children sit in different schools. Both struggle to read. Both have similar low scores on national tests. But while one gets a diagnosis of specific learning difficulties and a package of support, the other is left to ...
Phys.org / Network analysis reveals mammal food web drivers across Africa
Ecology is often understood as a hyperlocal thing. The ecology of a pond, for instance, is vastly complex, even if the pond is tiny. But learning solely from local ecosystems is a slow and laborious approach that may not ...
Phys.org / 'Screams of delight': Artemis crew flying home to thrilled NASA scientists
