Medical Xpress / Novel mouse model reveals the mechanisms of a rare genetic encephalopathy
A team at the Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine has reached a major milestone in understanding a rare and severe form of genetic encephalopathy associated with the DHDDS gene. By developing the first mouse ...
Medical Xpress / Bangladesh has lost 900 children to measles—a warning to other countries where vaccine rates have slipped
Almost 900 people in Bangladesh are suspected to have died in a measles outbreak that began in March. Most of those affected are children.
Tech Xplore / Insect-inspired corrugations could help drones fly in Mars-like thin air
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used an evolutionary algorithm to identify optimal shapes for ultra-thin, bio-inspired corrugated airfoils, the two-dimensional cut-throughs of wings. Lightweight membrane-like ...
Phys.org / New tool aims to deliver graziers a faster, more accurate read on exactly how much feed is in front of their cattle
A drone lifts off over a paddock at Boorowa Agricultural Research Station, the breeze from its rotors setting the tall, uncut grass below rippling. At the controls, Stuart Brown, a senior research technician at CSIRO, keeps ...
Phys.org / Follow the fish: How marine life is helping reveal hidden shipwrecks
In September 2026, 20 Australian university students departed Brisbane for Fiji aboard the CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator on a CAPSTAN sea training voyage. While in coastal waters off Queensland, the students were ...
Phys.org / The monsters that weren't: Dinosaur and tusked-beast claims in San rock art unravel
For decades, an idea has grown in paleontology that, long before scientists began digging up and reconstructing dinosaur bones, the Indigenous San and Basotho in southern Africa noticed them too, incorporating them into songs, ...
Medical Xpress / Women with enlarged breast tissue more likely to experience chronic migraine, neck pain and sleep apnea
Women with enlarged breast tissue, known medically as macromastia, may be more likely to experience chronic migraine, neck pain, certain spinal nerve disorders and obstructive sleep apnea, according to a new study by Wake ...
Phys.org / Quantum communication protocol enables three users to establish a shared secure key
Quantum key distribution allows two users to establish secret keys whose security is grounded in the laws of quantum mechanics. Extending this capability to multiple users is an essential step toward quantum networks that ...
Tech Xplore / OpenAI calls for US to lead global effort on AI standards
OpenAI on Monday called for the United States to lead a global effort to establish standards for developing artificial intelligence as CEO Sam Altman prepares to brief the United Nations this week.
Tech Xplore / Autonomous robots gain high-resolution radar that avoids 88% of unnecessary computations
Radar, a key sensor for autonomous mobile robots, uses radio waves to determine the distance, speed and direction of surrounding obstacles. Because it operates reliably even under adverse weather conditions, such as rain, ...
Phys.org / X-ray light is like guitar music, with frequencies sliding continuously between harmonics
Ultrashort laser pulses can be used to generate X-rays. Normally, however, only certain specific frequencies are produced. A team from TU Wien and the University of California San Diego has developed a method that makes it ...
Medical Xpress / Rare pregnancy infections linked to autism
Infections that, in rare cases, can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to the fetus are linked to an increased risk of autism and intellectual disability in the child. This is shown by a study from Karolinska Institutet ...
