Medical Xpress / New imaging tools help cancer researchers see inside living cells
A new study co-led by an Oregon Health & Science University researcher describes a breakthrough in microscopy tools that could dramatically expand how cancer biology labs study the inner workings of living cells. The research, ...
Phys.org / AI helps instructors give better feedback but can't replace them, trial suggests
A randomized trial in a large economics course found that AI-mediated feedback improved students' revisions when teaching assistants stayed in control. Artificial intelligence can help instructors write better feedback on ...
Phys.org / Understanding community effects of Asian immigrants' US housing purchases
Asian immigrants are both the fastest-growing and highest-earning immigrant ethnic group in the United States, facts that have caught the attention of many economists interested in how these groups—whether investors or residents—impact ...
Tech Xplore / This tough Australian seed could reshape helmets and protective gear
Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have uncovered the secret behind the remarkable toughness of the marri nut, the hard seed of the marri tree native to Western Australia. The nut's shell is so strong that even natural predators ...
Phys.org / Study confirms that guessing before learning improves memory in language learning
Learning a second language is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, with millions of people turning to digital tools and mobile applications to pick up a new language at their own pace. But what makes some more popular ...
Phys.org / Multitasking quantum sensors can measure several properties at once
A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using classical sensors alone. Such quantum sensors are currently being used to study the inner workings of ...
Medical Xpress / As RSV evolves, a two‑pronged antibody cocktail aims to stay ahead
Scientists in China have developed a two-antibody cocktail to treat respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, that in laboratory studies prevented the virus from developing drug resistance—a persistent problem with current therapies ...
Phys.org / Contaminants, including ink, detected in meteorites suggest sample preparation needs improving
The IBeA group of the EHU-University of the Basque Country is proposing new measures to safeguard the purity of extraterrestrial samples. Several contaminants, including traces of ink, originating in the preparation of subsamples, ...
Phys.org / Bolivian mummy rewrites scarlet fever's past, suggesting killer bacterium circulated centuries before colonization
Researchers have identified the genetic material of scarlet fever while examining a tooth from a naturally mummified skull housed at MUNARQ, the National Museum of Archaeology in La Paz. Using a method that reassembled previously ...
Phys.org / Graphene as a charge mirror: Why water droplets 'see' graphene—but don't show it
Research on graphene has made great strides in recent years. However, to fully harness its potential in applications such as desalination membranes, sensors, and energy storage and conversion, a deeper understanding of the ...
Medical Xpress / Neuroinflammation triggers autism-like regression in mouse model
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition estimated to affect approximately 1 in 100 children worldwide. This condition is characterized by differences in how people communicate and interact with others, ...
Phys.org / Saltwater is closing in on coastal groundwater, putting billions and food supplies at risk
Coastal groundwater is a key source of drinking water in many regions of the world. However, it is threatened by overabstraction and the potential for salinization. Rising sea levels are further exacerbating the situation. ...
