Medical Xpress / New research shows nearly half of U.S. pre-K-12 schools are near environmental hazard sites
More than 3 million children enrolled in pre-K–12 schools in the U.S. attend a school located within a quarter mile of a known environmental hazard site tracked by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Tech Xplore / A novel chip-on-wafer platform for next-generation AI hardware
A new semiconductor integration platform developed at the Institute of Science Tokyo combines advanced chip packaging with high-density interconnects and improved thermal management. This combination of three complementary ...
Phys.org / Immune 'reprogramming' could protect poultry from deadly diseases without antibiotics
University of Bristol–led researchers have identified a naturally occurring gut molecule that could strengthen chickens' immune response against a wide range of bacterial infections. This development, published today, Aug. ...
Phys.org / Light-controlled molecular switches offer exciting possibilities for future electronics, data storage
Whether it's neurons responding to electrical signals or plants stretching toward light, nature is filled with examples of biological materials that respond to their environment. Now, researchers want to develop new responsive ...
Phys.org / Spontaneous magnons synchronize with external signals at room temperature
Signals ride on waves of one kind or another: light, sound, radio. But new carriers are needed to relay information in next-generation devices. Disturbances or waves in magnetic materials called magnons could be an efficient ...
Tech Xplore / New manufacturing platform could shrink costs for 6G beam-steering antennas
For the first time, researchers have developed a technology that could enable 6G antennas to be mass-produced on wafers in much the same way as semiconductor devices.
Science X / Why eye contact may help babies learn: A hidden link between two brains
Have you ever noticed how babies get hooked the moment someone makes eye contact with them? That eye contact is not only cute; it may also send a powerful message to a baby. For years, scientists have been investigating whether ...
Medical Xpress / Flesh‑eating bacteria are devouring limbs in warming waters worldwide—here's how to protect yourself
Flesh-eating bacteria sound like the premise of a bad horror movie, but they're a growing—and potentially fatal—threat to people in the U.S. and beyond.
Medical Xpress / Female gut muscles reshape to meet the demands of reproduction, preclinical study suggests
Organs don't just grow in early life; they can change in response to physiological or environmental challenges in adulthood. Researchers have now identified an active role for the intestinal muscles in remodeling the gut ...
Tech Xplore / 'Forgetful' AI semiconductor processes recent inputs without separate resets
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the "ability to forget" can serve as a new computational function for artificial intelligence.
Phys.org / What happens to nanoparticles when they enter the bloodstream?
The use of nanoparticles in drug delivery offers key advantages: they can enable targeted drug delivery, protect active ingredients from premature degradation, extend their duration of action in the body and reduce side effects. ...
Phys.org / New software tool Pixasonics turns biomedical images into sound
Modern biomedicine increasingly relies on enormous amounts of image data. Although computers can do part of the analysis work, biologists often still need to look through the images themselves. This takes time.
