Medical Xpress / How an antiviral defense mechanism may lead to Alzheimer's disease
One of the main proteins that contributes to Alzheimer's disease is called phospho-tau (p-tau). When p-tau gets too many phosphate groups attached to it (a process called hyperphosphorylation), it starts to stick together ...
Medical Xpress / Deep-brain recording reveals how a crucial relay station shapes human visual signals
Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the center of the human brain. This aids our understanding of how the brain ...
Phys.org / Christians and Zoroastrians coexisted peacefully in 5th-century Iraq, archaeologists suggest
The team of archaeologists led by Dr. Alexander Tamm (FAU, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) and Prof. Dirk Wicke (Institute of Archaeological Sciences, Goethe University Frankfurt) has returned from its ...
Phys.org / Zero lasing modes are not always topological
The convergence of non-Hermitian physics and topological photonics has opened exciting research directions in recent years, particularly in the development of robust laser systems.
Medical Xpress / Not everyone reads the room the same: Some brains perform a complicated assessment—while others take a shortcut
Are you a social savant who easily reads people's emotions? Or are you someone who leaves an interaction with an unclear understanding of another person's emotional state?
Medical Xpress / A built-in odometer: New study reveals how the brain measures distance
Whether you are heading to bed or seeking a midnight snack, you don't need to turn on the lights to know where you are as you walk through your house at night. This hidden skill comes from a remarkable ability called path ...
Phys.org / LLMs unleash AI's potential for autonomous and explainable materials discovery
Discovering new inorganic materials is central to advancing technologies in catalysis, energy storage, semiconductors, and more. But finding a material with just the right properties is extremely difficult. What if an AI ...
Medical Xpress / First vaccine shows promise in protecting from deadly melioidosis infection
Melioidosis is a little-known tropical disease now seen as an emerging global public health threat. The disease is caused by bacteria that live in soil and groundwater, and no vaccine exists to prevent infection, which can ...
Tech Xplore / Sodium-ion batteries can charge faster than lithium counterparts with hard carbon electrodes
The worldwide push for sustainability requires better, more durable batteries to support renewable energy systems and ubiquitous electronic devices.
Medical Xpress / People with personality disorders often use language differently—our research reveals how
Is it possible to spot personality dysfunction from someone's everyday word use? My colleagues and I have conducted research that suggests you can, and often sooner than you might expect.
Phys.org / Misinformation is an inevitable biological reality across nature, researchers argue
From claims that vaccines don't work to manipulated images and deliberately misrepresenting what politicians say, social media is often rife with misinformation. But far from being a recent phenomenon, there is nothing new ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's disease more prevalent in older people than previously thought
New research, published in Nature, has provided the first ever population-based data on the frequency of Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes (ADNC)—a key causal factor behind the development of dementia—and ...
