Medical Xpress / New study shows linens, not equipment emissions, dominate ultrasound's carbon footprint
A new research study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR) has found that unlike other modalities, linens and disposable supplies account for the vast majority of ultrasound's annual carbon ...
Tech Xplore / Neural interfaces that adapt to you: How game theory could improve wearables and implants
There is an exciting future on the horizon—one in which your thoughts could directly control electronic devices you use every day. In many ways, that future is already here, enabled by neural interfaces—engineered devices ...
Medical Xpress / Heart, metabolic and inflammatory risk patterns found to differ markedly between men and women with obesity
New research being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Istanbul, Turkey (May 12–15), reveals distinct patterns of heart, metabolic, and inflammatory health risks between men and women living with ...
Phys.org / AI can design and run thousands of lab experiments without human hands. Humanity isn't ready
Artificial intelligence is rapidly learning to autonomously design and run biological experiments, but the systems intended to govern those capabilities are struggling to keep pace.
Phys.org / How Artemis II's Earthset photo compares with the iconic Earthrise image from 1968
As NASA's Artemis II mission completed its lunar flyby, the astronauts sent back a stunning image of the colorful Earth setting behind the moon. This breathtaking photo, called Earthset, draws inevitable comparisons with ...
Phys.org / Meet Orpheus—A hopper mission built to hunt for life in Martian volcanoes
We've spent decades scratching the surface of Mars trying to uncover life there. But we've been searching a barren wasteland bombarded by radiation and bathed in toxic perchlorates. The entire time, it's likely that it's ...
Phys.org / Unlocking how dogs' fungal ear infections evade treatment
Mutations in a key protein make a yeast found in dogs with common outer ear infections more resistant to the topical antifungals used to treat it, veterinarians and pathobiologists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...
Medical Xpress / Water contaminated with 'forever chemicals' during pregnancy linked to an increased risk of childhood asthma
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of human-made chemicals found in everything from food packaging to firefighting foam. Often called "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment, ...
Medical Xpress / New anemia in adults may be an early warning sign of cancer
Anemia detected in health care is associated with an increased risk of both cancer and higher mortality, according to a new population-based study from Karolinska Institutet, published in BMJ Oncology. The findings may help ...
Phys.org / New study targets cost hurdles in forest restoration
As the West faces increasingly destructive wildfires, land managers rely on mechanical thinning to reduce hazardous fuels and restore forest health. But one obstacle continues to slow this work down: Thinning costs are notoriously ...
Phys.org / Artemis crew urges unity on 'lifeboat' Earth
Artemis II astronauts expressed awe on Saturday over their record-setting lunar flyby mission, urging unity on Earth after witnessing the planet's isolation like a "lifeboat" in space.
Medical Xpress / New study clears the way for improving devices and treatment for respiratory disorders
A computational study shows for the first time how different parts of the human airway experience levels of pressure and friction from breathing therapy devices. Using a patient-specific 3D airway model derived from CT imaging ...
