Tech Xplore / Robots use radio signals and AI to see around corners
Penn Engineers have developed a system that lets robots see around corners using radio waves processed by AI, a capability that could improve the safety and performance of driverless cars as well as robots operating in cluttered ...
Tech Xplore / Toward regenerative bioprinting: Magnetic mixer enables scalable manufacturing of 3D-printed tissues
3D bioprinting, in which living tissues are printed with cells mixed into soft hydrogels, or "bio-inks," is widely used in the field of bioengineering for modeling or replacing the tissues in our bodies. The print quality ...
Phys.org / Escape from Fukushima: Pig-boar hybrids reveal a genetic fast track in the wake of nuclear disaster
A new genetic study examines an unusually large hybridization event that followed the Fukushima nuclear accident, when escaped domestic pigs bred with wild boar. The research shows that domestic pig maternal lineages sped ...
Medical Xpress / Shining new light on how cytokines manage immune response
Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the first time, illuminates the missing half of how the immune system uses molecules called cytokines to ...
Medical Xpress / How blood biomarkers can predict trauma patient recovery days in advance
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a way to predict how trauma patients will recover, days before complications come to fruition, by analyzing the molecules in their blood. In their study published ...
Medical Xpress / Why working out may not help you lose weight
According to conventional wisdom, a great way to lose weight is to do some exercise. While being active is beneficial in many ways for our health, it may not be very helpful if you want to shed a few inches off your waistline. ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct resilience profiles predict psychological outcomes during adversity, study reveals
Higher self-reported levels of resilience were linked to lower anxiety and depression and better coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study published in PLOS One by Joseph Anthony Pettit of Bangor ...
Phys.org / Flipping and reversing mini-proteins could improve tuberculosis treatment
Antibiotic treatments are losing effectiveness against a range of common bacterial pathogens, including E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Salmonella and Acinetobacter, according to a warning issued by the World Health Organization ...
Phys.org / Elevated lead levels could flow from some US drinking water kiosks
After high-profile water crises like the one in Flint, Michigan, some Americans distrust the safety of tap water, choosing to purchase drinking water from freestanding water vending machines or kiosks. Yet this more expensive ...
Phys.org / Tiny marine animal reveals bacterial origin of animal defense mechanisms
Marine animals, such as the extremely simple flatworm Trichoplax, are ideal model organisms for studying the early evolutionary origins of animal life processes. Despite measuring only a few millimeters and lacking true organs ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable trackers can detect depression relapse weeks before it returns, study finds
Could a smart watch act as an early-warning system for depression relapse? New research from McMaster University suggests that disruptions in a person's sleep and daily activity routine, as detected through a simple wrist-worn ...
Phys.org / Keeping an eagle eye on carbon stored in the ocean
Geologic reservoirs that trapped petroleum for millions of years are now being repurposed to store the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. New research is improving how we monitor this storage and verify how much CO2 these reservoirs ...
