Phys.org / Robot pollinator uses computer vision to shake flowers and boost indoor farm yields
Indoor farms, also known as vertical farms, are popular among agricultural researchers and are expanding across the agricultural industry. Some benefits they have over outdoor farms include the year-round production of food ...
Medical Xpress / Patients with atrial fibrillation face higher bleeding risks when treated with 2 common medications
Patients with atrial fibrillation who are prescribed diltiazem to control heart rate alongside anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as apixaban or rivaroxaban face a higher risk of serious bleeding compared with those taking ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover 10 new species of Hawaiian moths
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers identified 10 new species and seven new groups (genera) of Hawaiian leaf-roller moths. While new species are frequently discovered, the description of a new genus of insects is ...
Tech Xplore / AI analysis finds sunnier sites and compact layouts cut solar's land footprint
As solar energy is rapidly becoming the world's largest renewable power source, new research from McGill University offers a clearer picture of how much land that growth could require and how smarter choices could mitigate ...
Phys.org / Quantum computers go high-dimensional with a four-state photon gate
The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it possible to carry out ...
Medical Xpress / Long-term brain effects of COVID-19 vs. flu: Study reveals key differences
Even a mild case of COVID-19 or the flu can impact the body long after the fever and cough fade, according to new Tulane University research that may help explain why some people struggle to feel fully recovered weeks or ...
Tech Xplore / Soft-robotic glove uses 37 actuators to cut hand swelling by up to 25%
A new glove with more than three dozen actuators across all five fingers and the palm, developed by Cornell researchers, aims to reduce swelling for people suffering from edema. The glove, known as EdemaFlex, was proven safe ...
Phys.org / Which cell measurements matter most? AI tool helps researchers see the bigger picture
Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many layers, so how the biologist ...
Medical Xpress / Vitamin B3 therapy offers hope for fatal childhood disease
Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have flipped the traditional approach to finding potential treatments for deadly diseases. Instead of starting with a disease and hunting for a cure, they began with vitamins and systematically ...
Phys.org / AI gets water right: How a hydration shield helps proteins keep their shape
A study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society reports that artificial intelligence can enhance protein stability in an unexpected way—by engineering the water around a protein, not just the protein itself. ...
Medical Xpress / Seasonality likely to affect male fertility, study shows
The quality of sperm is highest in the summer and lowest in the winter, according to a new study by scientists at University of Manchester, Queen's University (Ontario, Canada), and Cryos International (Aarhus, Denmark). ...
Phys.org / 20 billion galaxies: New survey of the sky will reveal the universe in unprecedented detail
When you look up at the night sky, it appears unchanging. But if you look deep enough you will find that the sky is in fact constantly shifting. Satellites, asteroids and interstellar objects pass by. Stars not only shine ...
