Medical Xpress / Blood pressure swings over 24 hours tied to poorer brain health
Frequent changes in blood pressure could affect cognitive health and contribute to brain changes associated with dementia risk, according to new research from Monash University.
Phys.org / Tuning into quantum sounds: Acoustic devices simplify quantum sensors
When a singer belts out a tune while a guitar player strums along, sound waves travel through the air, driving collective oscillations of the molecules within. Meanwhile, at the quantum level, something similar is going on. ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's-linked protein found to shape long-term memories
New research has uncovered how a protein strongly linked to Alzheimer's disease plays a critical role in forming long-lasting memories—opening up new directions for future dementia treatments.
Phys.org / Scientists improve knowledge on sea level rise—and confirm it has been accelerating since 1960
Sea level rise is a direct consequence of human-induced climate change: global warming. It is relentless and very hard to stop. It arises from human-induced warming and the consequential expansion of the ocean, plus the addition ...
Phys.org / Who's missing? Why underrepresentation often goes unnoticed in the workplace and classroom
During a staff meeting, we may look around to take account of who is present—an observation that could consider the race or gender of who is in the room. But would everyone notice a complete absence of women, colleagues of ...
Phys.org / Randomization can improve quantum computer performance in presence of noise
New research led by a graduating Ph.D. student in The University of New Mexico Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has shown that randomization can improve quantum computer performance in the presence of noise.
Phys.org / Entanglement injuries cause prolonged suffering for whales and dolphins—early intervention is crucial
When a humpback whale became entangled in a craypot line off Kaikōura last week, witnesses described it thrashing in distress for ten minutes before eventually freeing itself.
Phys.org / Four decades of overlooked data reveal the hidden amphipod diversity of Italian seas
What if some of the most important clues about marine biodiversity were already collected but never fully shared? That's the question that motivated a study, published in Biodiversity Data Journal. It brought together over ...
Tech Xplore / AI speeds up discovery of next-gen computer chips and electronic materials
An international study team, led by Flinders University in collaboration with Khalifa University UAE, built the machine-learning platform to act like a "smart materials discovery engine," which is capable of dramatically ...
Science X / Bees get distracted just like us, hinting at their own awareness
Even tiny insects need to focus. In a recent study, honey bees—usually quick to learn which scent means sugar—completely flubbed the task when a flashing light joined the party. This surprisingly human-like breakdown suggests ...
Phys.org / 190,000 baby trees in 25 years: Seedling census offers clues to what the future might hold for Michigan forests
The history of a forest might be measured by the trunks and branches looming overhead. But for some researchers at Michigan State University, a forest's future lies in what's growing under their feet. Every summer for nearly ...
Phys.org / Hi-res microscopes give biologists petabytes of data. Scientists are creating an AI assistant to make sense of it
In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley, campus, two bespoke microscopes—each a Swiss Army knife for high-resolution imaging—operate around the clock gathering data that will help train a game-changing ...
