So-called "yo-yo dieting" confers long-term health benefits, according to a new study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researchers. "Yo-yo dieting" is a pattern in which individuals lose weight through lifestyle interventions ...
Phys.org / How the color of a theater affects sound perception
Live music can engage more than just one sense, despite it being an auditory medium. Lighting and visual effects can enhance the listening experience, but it is unclear if they can also affect the impression of the sound. ...
Medical Xpress / New strategy grabs cancer's 'undruggable' proteins and throws them in the cellular trash
When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don't fight them—throw them in the cellular trash. In a new study published in Nature Communications, ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum materials could enable the solar-powered production of hydrogen from water
Hydrogen fuel is a promising alternative to fossil fuels that only emits water vapor when used and could thus help to lower greenhouse gas emissions on Earth. In the future, it could potentially be used to fuel heavy-duty ...
Tech Xplore / New target developed to improve production of important medical radioisotope
ANSTO has made progress on a more cost-effective way to produce the medical radioisotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), with less enrichment of uranium-235 (U-235) and producing less waste. ANSTO supplies the Australian medical community ...
Medical Xpress / As worms and jellyfish wriggle, new AI tools track their neurons
Understanding the connection between behavior and brain cell activity is a major goal of neuroscience. To make progress, neuroscientists often choose simple, transparent lab animals because it's possible to see all their ...
Medical Xpress / New targeted base-editing tool corrects genetic brain disorder in mice
Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized gene-editing tool, ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid perovskite device generates electricity from the sun and rain simultaneously
A team from the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Seville (US), has developed a new hybrid device that allows energy to ...
Phys.org / US childhood literacy rates are lagging. Pediatricians could be part of the solution
For some young children in Columbus, Ohio, reading assessments don't start in the kindergarten classroom—they happen first in the doctor's office.
Tech Xplore / Sodium-ion batteries lean heavily on lithium-ion expertise, patent analysis suggests
Researchers from the University of Münster, ETH Zurich, Stanford University, and the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production (FFB) used AI-supported patent analysis to show how strongly battery technologies ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers demonstrate lightweight 'exoskeleton' that helps stroke survivors walk
A leading cause of disability in the United States is hemiparesis, a condition where impaired motor control, muscle weakness, and spasticity affect one side of the body. Occurring in 80% of stroke survivors, reduced mobility ...
Phys.org / Americans reveal deepening split between self and country
American reports of individual well-being have remained relatively stable over decades, but confidence in the nation has sharply declined. James N. Druckman and colleagues analyzed long-term survey data from two projects: ...
