Medical Xpress / Stroke drug loberamisal may boost recovery when started within 48 hours
Stroke patients treated intravenously with loberamisal, a novel neuroprotective medication, daily for 10 days and starting within 48 hours of stroke symptoms, had better recovery than patients who received a placebo, according ...
Phys.org / Two-day-old babies show brain signs of rhythm prediction, study finds
Babies are born with the ability to predict rhythm, according to a study published February 5 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Roberta Bianco from the Italian Institute of Technology, and colleagues.
Phys.org / Lab-grown algae remove microplastics from water
A University of Missouri researcher is pioneering an innovative solution to remove tiny bits of plastic pollution from our water. Mizzou's Susie Dai recently applied a revolutionary strain of algae toward capturing and removing ...
Tech Xplore / Why light poles failed in Hurricane Ian despite meeting design standards
When Hurricane Ian moved across Florida in 2022, several aluminum light poles on a Central Florida bridge collapsed or cracked, even though wind speeds remained below the structures' design limits. A new University of Florida ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI helps soft robot arms switch tasks and stay stable
Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new scenarios on the fly without needing retraining or sacrificing functionality. ...
Phys.org / Norway's Sami population posed an enigma for the occupying Nazis, researcher says
Historian and Ph.D. research fellow Andreas Eliassen Grini at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has delved into German soldiers' descriptions of their experiences in Northern Norway. This includes ...
Phys.org / Study finds numbing the mouth may speed up silent reading
Parents often tell their children to sound out the words as they are learning to read. It makes sense: Since they already know how to speak, the sound of a word might serve as a clue to its meaning.
Tech Xplore / Origami-inspired waveguides fold for launch, expand in space for satellites
High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either end, neither of which ...
Dialog / Infrared running of gravity offers a field-theoretic route to dark matter phenomena
The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new research, I explore a different possibility: Rather than postulating new particles, I propose ...
Phys.org / Graphene sealing enables first atomic images of monolayer transition metal diiodides
Two-dimensional (2D) materials promise revolutionary advances in electronics and photonics, but many of the most interesting candidates degrade within seconds of air exposure, making them nearly impossible to study or integrate ...
Medical Xpress / How 'invisible' vaccine scaffolding boosts HIV immune response
One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is coaxing the body to produce the right kind of immune cells and antibodies. In most vaccines, HIV proteins are attached to a larger protein scaffolding that mimics ...
Medical Xpress / Frozen on the ice: The brain science behind perfect Olympic timing
Olympic skiers, bobsledders and speed skaters all have to master one critical moment: when to start. As athletes prepare for the upcoming Winter Olympics, that split second is in the spotlight because when everyone is fast, ...
