Phys.org / Olives have been essential to life in Italy for at least 6,000 years—far longer than we thought
How far back does the rich history of Italian olives and oil stretch? My new research, published in the American Journal of Archaeology, synthesizing and reevaluating existing archaeological evidence, suggests olive trees ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny 'mini-me' organs grown from children's cells are transforming cystic fibrosis care
When UNSW Associate Professor Shafagh Waters explains cystic fibrosis (CF) to the children she works with, she asks them to imagine what is happening inside their own bodies. "I tell them to picture an airport," she says. ...
Medical Xpress / How sleep loss can damage your brain's wiring
Sleep loss damages the fatty insulation protecting the nerve cells in our brain, according to a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research also explains why we often feel ...
Phys.org / AI model OpenScholar synthesizes scientific research and cites sources as accurately as human experts
Keeping up with the latest research is vital for scientists, but given that millions of scientific papers are published every year, that can prove difficult. Artificial intelligence systems show promise for quickly synthesizing ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 drugs tied to lower-calorie, lower-sugar food purchases
Researchers at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen reported that starting a GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) coincided with slightly healthier supermarket purchases. Grocery purchases from GLP-1RA users in Denmark contained ...
Medical Xpress / Children and adolescents affected by juvenile fibromyalgia are more sensitive to nonpainful sensory stimuli
Children and adolescents affected by juvenile fibromyalgia show greater sensitivity to non-painful sensory stimuli, such as sounds and bright lights. This hypersensitivity is closely related to the severity of the disease ...
Medical Xpress / Multi-stage dual-domain progressive network enhances sparse-view CT reconstruction
A research team led by Professor Wang Hongzhi from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a multi-stage, dual-domain, progressive network with synergistic training for sparse-view ...
Phys.org / Study: Why Nobel Prize-level materials have yet to reach industry
Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, polluted water, and increasingly strict environmental regulations are driving the search for materials that can efficiently trap pollutants at the molecular level. For more than two ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool predicts brain age, cancer survival and other disease signals from unlabeled brain MRIs
Mass General Brigham investigators have developed a robust new artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model that is capable of analyzing brain MRI datasets to perform numerous medical tasks, including identifying brain age, ...
Tech Xplore / New design tool 3D-prints woven metamaterials that stretch and fail predictably
Metamaterials—materials whose properties are primarily dictated by their internal microstructure, and not their chemical makeup—have been redefining the engineering materials space for the last decade. To date, however, ...
Medical Xpress / Saline nasal spray alone resolves sleep-disordered breathing in nearly one-third of children, study finds
Investigators based at Monash Children's Hospital and Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne report that a once-daily intranasal saline spray resolved obstructive sleep-disordered breathing symptoms in nearly one-third of children ...
