Medical Xpress / New MRI technology maps 20-plus brain biomarkers in a single 14-minute scan
New multiplexed imaging technology using standard clinical MRI systems can simultaneously map more than 20 biomarkers in high resolution, providing a comprehensive view of the brain with a single scan.
Phys.org / Watch as NASA's Curiosity Rover frees its drill from a rock
This series of images shows NASA's Curiosity Mars rover as it got a rock stuck to the drill on the end of its robotic arm, and—after waving the arm and running the drill a few times—finally detached the rock. The imagery ...
Medical Xpress / Creatine is claimed to benefit body and mind: The potential benefits and limitations of the popular supplement
Creatine, a compound often associated with gym-goers and athletes, has long been touted as a performance-enhancing supplement. But beyond the hype, what does science actually reveal about its effects on the body and mind?
Phys.org / Sound waves create mist that can act like 'plant sunscreen'
RMIT University researchers have developed a new way to coat fragile surfaces, including living plant leaves, using high‑frequency sound waves to create a fine mist that can act like a plant sunscreen.
Phys.org / Space junk falls to Earth faster when sunspots peak, reshaping satellite collision forecasts
Solar emissions exert 'drag' on space junk orbiting Earth. From historical measurements across a period of 36 years, researchers have now shown that space junk begins to fall down much faster once the sun's activity across ...
Tech Xplore / A simple physics-inspired model sheds light on how AI learns
Artificial intelligence systems based on neural networks—such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek or Gemini—are extraordinarily powerful, yet their internal workings remain largely a "black box." To better understand how these systems ...
Medical Xpress / Testosterone suppresses brain tumor growth in males, study suggests
In a new study, scientists at Cleveland Clinic discovered that hormones associated with male development may play a key role in limiting the growth of brain tumors in men. The research team found that the loss of androgen ...
Phys.org / Electric double layer unlocks molecular switch behind battery and hydrogen reactions
From smartphone charging to hydrogen production, the fundamental principles of energy technology have been revealed. Korean researchers have, for the first time, identified how molecular structures change within the ultra-small ...
Phys.org / Timor green pigeon 'likely to go extinct' without urgent action, according to scientists
The Timor green pigeon, which is under pressure from hunting and habitat loss, is at serious risk of extinction and should be uplisted to Critically Endangered, according to a new study from researchers at Charles Darwin ...
Phys.org / Fewer insects, fewer nutritious crops: Pollinator decline puts human health at risk
Biodiversity loss is directly threatening human health and welfare, according to new research led by the University of Bristol. The study, published in Nature reveals, for the first time, how the decline of insect pollinators ...
Tech Xplore / Hidden math link helps designers build fantastic shapes
Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in some of Earth's harshest climates. And like other irregular, disordered systems, they can be difficult ...
Medical Xpress / Urine test outperforms MRI for monitoring low-risk prostate cancer in new study
A new urine test performed better than PSA-based testing and MRI for monitoring low-risk prostate cancers on active surveillance. Use of the test to determine the need for repeat "monitoring" biopsies would have avoided up ...
