Tech Xplore / Enhanced phase-shifting technique captures 3D shapes of moving objects with high precision
Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a neural-network-based 3D imaging technique that can precisely measure moving objects—a task long considered extremely challenging for conventional optical systems.
Phys.org / Parasitic ant tricks workers into killing their queen, then takes the throne
Scientists document a new form of host manipulation where an invading, parasitic ant queen "tricks" ant workers into killing their queen mother. The invading ant integrates herself into the nest by pretending to be a member ...
Medical Xpress / Evidence builds for disrupted mitochondria as cause of Parkinson's
For decades, scientists have known that mitochondria, which produce energy inside our cells, malfunction in Parkinson's disease. But a critical question remained: do the failing mitochondria cause Parkinson's, or do they ...
Medical Xpress / Keto diet associated with reduced depressive symptoms, anxiety results remain mixed
Researchers led by St Michael's Hospital in Toronto report that ketogenic diets are associated with modest reductions in depressive symptoms in adults, while evidence for anxiety remains uncertain.
Medical Xpress / Maternal health program cuts infection deaths by 32%, large-scale trial finds
A multi-country clinical trial has shown that a structured, sustainable approach to infection prevention and treatment can save women's lives, cutting severe maternal infections and deaths by about one-third (32%) compared ...
Tech Xplore / New augmented reality tech can turn any surface into keyboard
Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as "gorilla arm."
Phys.org / Central America's 'five great forests' are lifelines for North America's migratory birds
Every spring, the familiar songs of Wood Thrushes and warblers return to the parks and backyards of eastern North America. But their journey begins far to the south—in the lush, remote forests of Central America that sustain ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds AI recommendations improve emergency care decisions, but acceptance varies
While artificial intelligence technology is increasingly being used—formally and informally—to support medical diagnoses, its utility in emergency medical settings remains an open question. Can AI support doctors in situations ...
Medical Xpress / Decoding real-life fear for precision social anxiety treatments
Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have unveiled a transformative approach to understanding and treating social anxiety, challenging decades of laboratory-based assumptions and opening doors to targeted therapies.
Phys.org / Family dogs' ADHD-like traits are linked to learning and self-control
In two newly published studies, researchers at the Department of Ethology, Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) investigated how family dogs' ADHD-like traits relate to their learning and self-control. Dogs resemble humans ...
Phys.org / Non-contact detection method to identify trace fentanyl
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), working with Florida International University's (FIU) Global Forensic and Justice Center, have demonstrated a new method for detecting trace levels of fentanyl using ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical tool helps predict which brain tumors will require treatment
A new study has shown that a clinical tool developed by the University of Liverpool and The Walton Center can accurately predict whether the most common type of brain tumor will grow or cause symptoms, helping doctors and ...
