Medical Xpress / Certain DNA signatures may reveal which prostate cancers are most likely to spread
Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer among men globally. Yet, we still know relatively little about why the disease develops or why some men live with it for years while it progresses aggressively in others.
Medical Xpress / A single workout may help protect memory after a short night's sleep
Modern lifestyles, longer light exposure and constant digital distractions have pushed the world into a global sleep crisis—one that poses a major threat to public health. Sleep loss doesn't just leave us tired and irritable; ...
Phys.org / AI D-Day weather forecast falters under pressure
Today's best weather computers would still have struggled to accurately predict the weather for the D-Day landings, University of Reading research shows. The new research, published in the journal Weather ahead of the release ...
Tech Xplore / Bridging the information gap: AI-driven quality control for 5G multicast broadcasting
Cable television (CATV) remains a cornerstone of how national broadcasts and emergency information reach thousands of households. Unfortunately, many older apartment buildings were not built with fiber-optic wiring in mind, ...
Medical Xpress / Anemia in pregnancy linked to differences in babies' brain development
Researchers using a portable MRI scanner found that measurable differences in brain volumes emerged at around 12 months of age, offering some of the earliest evidence yet that maternal anemia shapes infant brain development ...
Phys.org / More than numbers: First global dataset shows who is immigrating
As countries compete for skilled workers and grapple with aging populations and labor shortages, understanding who is moving across borders is increasingly important. A new study provides the first global data set of immigration ...
Phys.org / Three quantum phases in chromium-based material hint at a spin-triplet superconductor
Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without electrical resistance when cooled below a specific critical temperature. These materials have proved promising for the development of various technologies, including ...
Phys.org / Local microbes persist in wine despite commercial yeast
A new study has demonstrated that regional microbial imprints can remain detectable under commercial winemaking conditions. The research, appearing in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, shows that inoculated fermentations ...
Medical Xpress / A microscopic obstacle course hints at how disorder may prime tumor cells for invasion
In 2024, malignant tumors caused more than 21,300 deaths in Austria, 4.7% more than in 2014. Faced with a similarly pressing global challenge, scientists are striving to better understand what drives cancer cells to grow, ...
Phys.org / X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the surface chemistry of bio-based hybrid materials
Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how efficiently a photocatalyst responds to light. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied ...
Phys.org / Six unusual structures identified at Earth's core-mantle boundary with the help of deep learning
Since scientists can't drill 2,900 km (1,800 miles) to the boundary between Earth's core and deep mantle, they must use information relayed by seismic waves recorded during earthquakes to study this region. In a new study ...
Medical Xpress / High anxiety may alter the brain's sleep switch in preteens
Some preteens have no trouble getting a full night's rest. Those experiencing anxiety often lie awake. The reason for both may be related to a pea-sized gland in the middle of their brains.
