Medical Xpress / Brain activity and breathing rhythms operate separately in deepest sleep, finds research
Could the deepest parts of the brain hold some of the secrets of sleep that still remain elusive to science? A team from Hackensack Meridian Health and its Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) has produced a new in-depth ...
Phys.org / Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping ...
Phys.org / A common CRISPR platform enables comparative studies of multicellularity in social amoebae
A research group led by Associate Professor Tetsuya Muramoto from the Faculty of Science, Toho University, has established a CRISPR genome editing technique that enables comparative analysis of the evolution of multicellularity ...
Medical Xpress / AI cancer tools may rely on 'shortcut learning' rather than genuine biological signals
Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly being developed to predict cancer biology directly from microscope images, promising faster diagnoses and cheaper testing. But new research from the University of Warwick, published ...
Medical Xpress / AI-driven chart review accurately identifies potential rare disease trial participants
New research by Cleveland Clinic and Dyania Health demonstrates how a medically trained large language model system can accurately and efficiently screen electronic medical records (EMRs) to identify patients who are eligible ...
Medical Xpress / How to get ready for daylight saving time
You love it—or loathe it. Either way, the clocks jump forward one hour on Sunday morning for the start of Daylight Saving Time, providing an extra hour of evening light through Nov. 1. That means one hour less sleep this ...
Tech Xplore / Improved EV battery gains will outmatch degradation from climate change, research shows
Climate change was poised to create an interesting catch-22 for electric vehicles. Electrifying transportation can go a long way to reducing carbon emissions that are driving up global temperatures. But warmer temperatures ...
Phys.org / The climate cost of staying cool: How AC could impact global warming by 2050
It is a double-edged sword. As the planet heats up, more of us are turning up and turning to air conditioning to keep us cool. The trouble is that, as well as consuming vast amounts of electricity, AC also leads to significant ...
Tech Xplore / AI could prevent construction delays before they happen
What if a construction project could rewrite its own schedule the moment a problem appears? A new peer-reviewed study from the University of East London (UEL) suggests that artificial intelligence could make this possible—detecting ...
Phys.org / Greenhouse gas fluxes in Everglades provide path for maximizing carbon capture via water management
The Florida Everglades is a complicated climate actor. The 1.5-million-acre wetland system remains a carbon sink, removing an average of 13.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year, but the system ...
Phys.org / Soil saturation data sharpens atmospheric river flood warnings, study of 71,000 storms finds
Atmospheric rivers carry unfathomable amounts of water across the sky, bringing moisture to drought-stricken regions like the Western U.S. But whether a particular incoming atmospheric river storm will result in disastrous ...
Tech Xplore / A rewritable DNA hard drive may help solve the growing data storage crisis
Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in synthetic DNA. The idea is simple but powerful—DNA is one of the most compact, durable information ...
