Medical Xpress / AI tool for computing radiation dose helps personalize prostate cancer treatment
Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) has made significant strides over the past 50 years, although it only recently received FDA approval to treat prostate cancer. But despite the progress—and billions of dollars in industry ...
Phys.org / Some speed‑reading apps make big claims. But how fast can humans actually read?
Some speed-reading advocates claim that with proper training (outlined in many popular books and YouTube videos) or the use of special apps, it's possible to increase your reading rate to 1,000 words per minute or more.
Tech Xplore / Composite catalyst could improve oxygen reactions in next-generation lithium-oxygen batteries
An electric vehicle that never needs recharging on a cross-country trip. Drones that fly for hours without landing. These scenarios demand energy storage far beyond what lithium-ion batteries can deliver—and lithium–oxygen ...
Medical Xpress / New therapy shrinks tumors to treat lung cancer
The need for more effective lung cancer treatments is paramount, as the disease remains a leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. New findings by a research team from the Stony Brook Cancer Center highlight a ...
Phys.org / New findings on the eruption history of the West Eifel maar volcanoes
The West Eifel Volcanic Field comprises more than 100 maars—circular lakes formed by explosive eruptions. Until now, little was known about when these volcanic eruptions occurred. A research team from Heidelberg University, ...
Phys.org / Why we overestimate the positive impact of our actions on the climate
Why is recycling waste or switching off the lights sometimes perceived as more effective for the climate than giving up air travel? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) surveyed nearly 3,000 people and identified ...
Medical Xpress / Low-dose omega-3 intake does not raise atrial fibrillation risk, study finds
A new meta-analysis led by researchers from the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) provides the clearest picture to date of the relationship between omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and atrial fibrillation (AF), helping ...
Medical Xpress / Combination of abdominal obesity and vitamin D deficiency more than doubles the risk of death in people over 50
A study of more than 5,500 people over age 50 has raised a red flag: It found that people with abdominal obesity and vitamin D deficiency have a 123% higher risk of death than those without these conditions. Results of the ...
Medical Xpress / Do we really need 10,000 steps a day?
You've probably heard that hitting 10,000 steps a day is the key to health and longevity.
Phys.org / Human norovirus capsid shifts between two shapes, cryo-EM reveals
A research team led by Kazuyoshi Murata has discovered that virus-like particles (VLPs) of human norovirus genotype GII.3 are not structurally rigid, but can adopt two distinct conformational states, similar to those previously ...
Tech Xplore / Self-repairing, recyclable substrate developed for durable soft sensors
Soft sensors convert movement, temperature and moisture into electrical signals. Repeated bending and friction can cause their metal conductors to peel from the underlying polymer, while physical damage, such as cuts, can ...
Phys.org / Early snow loss exposes Barnes Ice Cap bare ice by mid-July
For most of the year, the Barnes Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic lies quiet under a blanket of snow. By summer, that snow melts back, and the ice cap transforms in texture, its bare ice dotted with turquoise ponds and its ...
