Phys.org / Gold nanoplasmonic chip tracks L-DOPA response in Parkinson's 'mini-brains'
Researchers have developed an organoid-on-a-chip technology that verifies the efficacy of Parkinson's disease treatments in real time. The technology combines a stem cell–derived "mini-brain" with a nanoplasmonic sensor engineered ...
Medical Xpress / Sharper reasoning skills in teen years tied to lower dementia risk later in life
Could the way we think in our 20s offer clues about our risk of dementia decades later? Large population studies suggest that people who perform better on thinking ability tests in adolescence or young adulthood are less ...
Phys.org / Liquid crystal takes page from steel in surprising phase transition
A type of transformation best known for hardening steel and enabling shape-memory alloys may also occur in a much softer class of materials, according to new research from Rice University. Researchers in the departments of ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells that may help sustain type 1 diabetes attack identified
Type 1 diabetes isn't an overnight attack against the body's ability to make insulin. It can be a sustained campaign over years that relentlessly targets insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Scientists have not fully ...
Medical Xpress / 'Reporter game' helps regulate sensory-brain activity in autistic youth, MRI study finds
For many autistic children, everyday sensations such as the feel of scratchy fabric or a loud car alarm can be intensely distressing. Known as sensory over-responsivity, this common symptom can affect all aspects of everyday ...
Phys.org / Livestock grazing may boost soil carbon storage in Iceland's subarctic grasslands

Tech Xplore / A new AI framework could help cities plan for future traffic
Traffic jams are usually treated as a problem to be measured after they form. Anton Rozhkov and his colleagues are exploring a different approach: giving planners state-of-the-art tools that can anticipate congestion, locate ...
Phys.org / Two-color light steers electrons through graphene's transient topological state
The electronic properties of materials are typically determined by their structure under normal, undisturbed conditions, when they are in a state known as equilibrium. Intense light beams, however, can temporarily reshape ...
Phys.org / Two new large stick insect species discovered in Australia's backyards and rainforests
Insect "detectives" have discovered two new types of large stick insects, showing scientists are still uncovering new species in some of Australia's most well-studied landscapes. Researchers at the University of Sydney have ...
