Phys.org / Astronomers find an enigmatic source that is most likely a Little Red Dot in formation
Astronomers have, for the first time, found a source in the process of becoming a Little Red Dot, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Little Red Dots are likely early galaxies and some of the most intriguing objects ...
Tech Xplore / Custom prosthetic hand adapts to each user, decoding 19 gestures in real time
Most prosthetic hands today still struggle with a fundamental problem: No two amputees are the same, yet most devices are designed as if they are. That mismatch makes natural, intuitive control difficult, often turning what ...
Phys.org / Tiny ancient fish fossil with preserved brain offers clues to early fish evolution
Over 300 million years ago, a minnow-sized fish died and fell to the bottom of a prehistoric swamp near the village of Trawden, Lancashire, in northwest England. The remains of this tiny fish—known as Trawdenia planti—became ...
Medical Xpress / Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression
Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) ...
Medical Xpress / The brain's language network is more extensive than previously thought
For decades, neuroscientists have known that specific regions in the brain's left hemisphere are responsible for processing language. However, a new study by MIT researchers shows that language processing also occurs in many ...
Phys.org / Researchers discover novel SRV2 envelope protein for efficient CAR immune cell production
A Korean research team has developed a new viral vector technology that significantly improves the production efficiency of next-generation cell and gene therapies known as CAR immune cell therapies, which are designed to ...
Medical Xpress / Long COVID rehab program helps with return to work and focus
Ten weeks of cognitive rehabilitation can help people with long COVID symptoms such as brain fog achieve their goals in returning to work and hobbies, a new clinical trial led by University College London (UCL) researchers ...
Phys.org / Climate resilience of brown bears over 175,000 years revealed in 3D analyses of their jaws
European brown bears are masters of survival: These animals have weathered Pleistocene climate fluctuations and survived the cycles of ice ages and interglacial periods to the present day. Zoologists have now investigated ...
Phys.org / Super-deep diamond discovery may rewrite Earth's role in preserving the building blocks of life
Two diamonds formed 700 kilometers below the Earth's surface reveal a life-giving synchronicity between shifting continents and the cycling of phosphorus, a vital building block of DNA and cell membranes.
Phys.org / The center has shifted: Multifunctional facility in Japan reshapes where people linger
Suburban city centers across Japan are gradually declining as residents shift to car-oriented shopping malls in outlying areas. Urban planners have sought to reverse this trend through urban catalytic projects, strategically ...
Medical Xpress / New immunotherapy strategy targets aggressive brain tumors and their immune cell accomplices
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new cancer immunotherapy strategy that can simultaneously attack deadly brain tumors and the immune cells that help them grow.
Tech Xplore / Moisture-driven tech can power green batteries—and destroy spy gear
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Rice University have created a nontoxic, stretchable battery that operates by extracting moisture from the ambient environment—even in climates as dry as the desert. The ...
