Phys.org / Implantable sensor uses engineered bacteria for wireless molecular tracking
Scientists from Turkey have designed a next-generation implantable biosensor using genetically engineered E. coli for molecular-level monitoring within the body that runs on its own, wirelessly, with no external batteries ...
Phys.org / K-DRIFT pathfinder: A compact telescope for observing faint galactic structures
Conventional telescopes are limited in detecting low-surface-brightness (LSB) structures, which are essential for studying galaxy evolution. Now, researchers have developed a new telescope system featuring a confocal off-axis ...
Medical Xpress / Sedative choice could improve outcomes for breathing tube patients
Doctors treating seriously ill patients in an emergency setting may want to give the sedative etomidate, rather than ketamine, while placing a breathing tube, according to a randomized trial published in the New England Journal ...
Tech Xplore / Speech-to-reality system creates objects on demand using AI and robotics
Generative AI and robotics are moving us ever closer to the day when we can ask for an object and have it created within a few minutes. In fact, MIT researchers have developed a speech-to-reality system, an AI-driven workflow ...
Tech Xplore / AI headphones automatically learn who you're talking to—and let you hear them better
Holding a conversation in a crowded room often leads to the frustrating "cocktail party problem," or the challenge of separating the voices of conversation partners from a hubbub. It's a mentally taxing situation that can ...
Phys.org / Student researcher leads discovery of fastest gamma-ray burst ever recorded
Sarah Dalessi, a fifth-year student in the College of Science at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, is the lead author of a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal ...
Phys.org / How oxygen first reached Earth's oceans
For roughly 2 billion years of Earth's early history, the atmosphere contained no oxygen, the essential ingredient required for complex life. Oxygen began building up during the period known as the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), ...
Phys.org / First Andean trophy head with cleft lip/palate identified from southern Peru
In a recent study, Dr. Beth Scaffidi analyzed the images of a unique trophy head from southern Peru. The study diagnosed the individual as having had a cleft lip/palate (CLP), making him the first case of an Andean trophy ...
Medical Xpress / Violence against women and children among top health threats, global study reveals
Sexual violence against children and intimate partner violence against women are two of the most devastating yet persistently underrecognized global health challenges and rank among the top risks for mortality and morbidity ...
Phys.org / Like living cells, oil-in-water droplets form 'arms' in response to their environment
Oil-in-water droplets respond to chemical cues by forming arm-like extensions that resemble filopodia, which are used by living cells to sense and explore their environment.
Phys.org / How to watch one of the year's best meteor showers, the Geminids
It's time for one of the strongest meteor showers of the year.
Phys.org / The surprising culprit limiting the abundance of Earth's largest land animals
Humans live in a world abundant in salt, but this everyday seasoning is a luxury for wild herbivores, and it's far from clear how these animals get enough.
