Tech Xplore / 'Baked' yeast-based materials power 3D-printed architectural materials
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new, entirely bio-based material from a somewhat unexpected ingredient: yeast. The material is 3D printed and customized for use in architectural ...
Tech Xplore / Real-time X-ray compression shrinks file size by 8,000 times
Researchers led by Takaki Hatsui at the RIKEN SPring-8 Center (RSC) in Japan and collaborators have developed a new approach to compressing X-ray imaging data in real time, reducing the size of data files by more than 8,000 ...
Medical Xpress / Largest study of knee osteoarthritis tissue reveals core biological pathways underlying the disease
A major international study led by researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at the University of Oxford has found that osteoarthritis (OA)—the most common form of arthritis worldwide—is not a collection of separate ...
Phys.org / Armed with AI, study identifies prey from predator crunching sounds
Interactions between hard-shelled marine mollusks such as clams and snails and their predators play a critical but largely unseen role in shaping coastal ecosystems. These organisms help stabilize shorelines, filter water ...
Phys.org / Biohybrid microrobots repair spinal cord by combining stem cells with magnetoelectric nanoparticles
Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences for those affected. Nerve cells in the spinal cord rarely regenerate naturally, while scarring often prevents the regrowth of nerve fibers. Modern therapies attempt to ...
Phys.org / An unfinished reckoning with police violence: Community data show ongoing systemic racism
It's been roughly six years since the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked a global conversation about anti-Black police violence and the excessive use of police force against Black and Indigenous communities.
Phys.org / Ancient cave lion genomes reveal a distinct lineage
A new study on multiple genomes from the extinct cave lion has discovered that it represented a highly distinct evolutionary lineage, which separated from modern lions more than a million years ago. The results also show ...
Phys.org / Abortion restrictions associated with lower female medical school applicant numbers
States with restrictive abortion policies saw slower growth in the proportion of female medical school applicants following the 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade, according to a new study published in the open-access journal PLOS ...
Tech Xplore / ChartNet trains AI to read charts, boosting smaller models past commercial rivals
To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and ...
Phys.org / Traditional, patriarchal Japanese terms for husband and wife may now be perceived as neutral
A new study suggests that, for modern Japanese speakers, two traditional, patriarchal words for "husband" ("shujin," literally meaning "master") and "wife" ("kanai," "inside-the-house") may be losing their original meanings, ...
Medical Xpress / New insights into how autistic and non-autistic people learn about one another
New research from the George Washington University has yielded some unexpected insights into how autistic and non-autistic people learn about one another's preferences. The study indicates that both groups rely on similar ...
Phys.org / Screwworm fly detected in Texas decades after cattle threat was largely eradicated in US
The New World screwworm fly has reached south Texas, the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed Wednesday, the first time in decades that the parasite with flesh-eating larvae has threatened the nation's cattle industry ...
