Medical Xpress / Single daily pill shows promise as replacement for complex, multi-tablet HIV treatment regimens
A new, daily oral tablet that combines two current HIV treatment medications, bictegravir and lenacapavir (BIC/LEN), could effectively replace more complicated HIV treatment regimens used by people living with HIV who are ...
Phys.org / When light 'thinks' like the brain: The connection between photons and artificial memory
An international study has revealed a surprising connection between quantum physics and the theoretical models underlying artificial intelligence. The study results from a collaboration between the Institute of Nanotechnology ...
Tech Xplore / Industrial TOPCon solar cells hit 26.66% efficiency record
Crystalline silicon solar cells currently dominate the global photovoltaic industry, with tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) technology—a type of architecture within this product segment—rapidly gaining market ...
Medical Xpress / Is a baby's heart defect hereditary? A NOTCH1 methylation test may clarify
One to two out of every 100 newborn babies are born with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD), yet the exact cause remains unclear. Human geneticists at the University Medicine Oldenburg (Germany) have now presented a new method ...
Medical Xpress / Hormone therapy may not benefit most men receiving radiotherapy after prostate surgery, study finds
A new study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators suggests that adding hormone therapy to postoperative radiotherapy may provide little survival benefit for most men with prostate cancer, especially ...
Medical Xpress / Keeping neurons on the right path: Scientists identify key driver of cortical layering during brain development
The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to migrate to precise locations ...
Tech Xplore / AI agents have their own social network: Moltbook study tracks topics and toxicity
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, systems that learn to make predictions, generate content or tackle other tasks by analyzing large amounts of data, is becoming increasingly widespread. Some of these systems ...
Phys.org / Brown recluse spiders rare in Florida and reluctant to bite, study finds
A newly published study co-authored by University of South Florida alum Louis Coticchio and USF integrative biologist Deby Cassill challenges long-standing assumptions about the brown recluse spider, finding the species is ...
Phys.org / This mysterious protein punctures our cells—now researchers know how
The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's systems in balance. A new ...
Phys.org / Shark deterrents found to reduce fisheries loss
In a world-first discovery, researchers have found an electrical shark deterrent used at Cocos (Keeling) Islands was effective at reducing the number of fish taken off fishing hooks by sharks—a process known as depredation. ...
Phys.org / Iron and blue LEDs synthesize natural molecules, cutting the need for expensive chiral components
Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic synthesis due to their durability and the ability to tune their function by modifying the ligands attached ...
Medical Xpress / Neurosurgeons are really good at removing brain tumors—they're about to get even better
When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much tumor as possible. This ...
