Tech Xplore / Custom prosthetic hand adapts to each user, decoding 19 gestures in real time
Most prosthetic hands today still struggle with a fundamental problem: No two amputees are the same, yet most devices are designed as if they are. That mismatch makes natural, intuitive control difficult, often turning what ...
Medical Xpress / Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression
Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) ...
Phys.org / Researchers discover novel SRV2 envelope protein for efficient CAR immune cell production
A Korean research team has developed a new viral vector technology that significantly improves the production efficiency of next-generation cell and gene therapies known as CAR immune cell therapies, which are designed to ...
Medical Xpress / The brain's language network is more extensive than previously thought
For decades, neuroscientists have known that specific regions in the brain's left hemisphere are responsible for processing language. However, a new study by MIT researchers shows that language processing also occurs in many ...
Medical Xpress / Long COVID rehab program helps with return to work and focus
Ten weeks of cognitive rehabilitation can help people with long COVID symptoms such as brain fog achieve their goals in returning to work and hobbies, a new clinical trial led by University College London (UCL) researchers ...
Phys.org / Climate resilience of brown bears over 175,000 years revealed in 3D analyses of their jaws
European brown bears are masters of survival: These animals have weathered Pleistocene climate fluctuations and survived the cycles of ice ages and interglacial periods to the present day. Zoologists have now investigated ...
Medical Xpress / Shared neurodevelopmental spectrum could link ADHD, autism and dyslexia to later outcomes
A paper published in Molecular Psychiatry, led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London and Royal Holloway, University of London, challenges the way we think about neurodevelopmental conditions.
Medical Xpress / New biological clues behind coffee's benefit to liver health
In one of the most comprehensive studies of coffee and liver health to date, Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators linked higher coffee consumption with a lower risk of cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver-related ...
Tech Xplore / Moisture-driven tech can power green batteries—and destroy spy gear
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Rice University have created a nontoxic, stretchable battery that operates by extracting moisture from the ambient environment—even in climates as dry as the desert. The ...
Phys.org / Unexpected pathway turns water and CO₂ into climate‑neutral methane on nickel–zirconia
Natural gas still plays an important role in many industrial sectors, but it is a climate-damaging fossil fuel. TU Wien and the University of Innsbruck have now discovered an unexpected reaction pathway that makes it possible ...
Phys.org / Astronomers find an enigmatic source that is most likely a Little Red Dot in formation
Astronomers have, for the first time, found a source in the process of becoming a Little Red Dot, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Little Red Dots are likely early galaxies and some of the most intriguing objects ...
Phys.org / Houston power plant emerges as dominant source of cloud-forming aerosols
Research by atmospheric scientists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and colleagues pinpointed an individual coal-fired power plant in Houston as the main source of particles most likely to encourage the ...
