Medical Xpress / A new digital imagery program can help students reduce anxiety levels
With exams looming and a lot potentially riding on their future, many university students suffer from anxiety. This pressure can often create a cycle of worry that is difficult to break without the right tools. A new study ...
Phys.org / Turning mosquitoes into flying vaccine carriers to protect against bat-borne viruses
Bats are reservoirs for several zoonotic viruses, such as Ebola and coronaviruses. These pathogens can spread to humans through direct contact with the flying mammals or their bodily fluids, or indirectly through contaminated ...
Phys.org / ChatGPT can provide original mathematical proofs, researchers show
VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the researchers show ...
Medical Xpress / Discrimination and childhood trauma each tied to PTSD symptoms in LGBTQ+ adults
A professor at the University of Rhode Island is on a "QueST" to determine how identity-related stress interacts with past traumatic experiences in LGBTQ+ communities. Jillian Scheer, assistant professor of psychology in ...
Phys.org / Microbes in Antarctica survive the freezing and dark winter by living on air
Winter in Antarctica is long and dark. Temperatures remain well below freezing. In many places, the sun sets in April and does not rise above the horizon again until August. Without sunlight, photosynthetic life such as plants, ...
Phys.org / Climate action could prevent over 13 million premature deaths, but equity choices matter for global health
A new study published in The Lancet Global Health reveals a previously underappreciated tension at the heart of international climate negotiations: policies designed to protect developing countries from bearing an unfair ...
Phys.org / Gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules to help detect certain diseases
An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This property may help in detecting certain diseases ...
Phys.org / New study offers insight into tissue-specific gene regulation of sheep
Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study that sheds new light on regulatory elements in the sheep genome.
Phys.org / Not just spin—electron orbitals can provide new method for controlling magnetism
Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while delivering faster performance and lower power consumption. Korean researchers propose a new possibility ...
Phys.org / Globular cluster NGC 5824 is embedded in a dark matter halo, study suggests
Using data from the Magellan Clay telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), astronomers have investigated a galactic globular cluster known as NGC 5824. Results of the new study, available in a paper published ...
Medical Xpress / RNA barcodes fast-track brain connection mapping
By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand understanding not only of ...
Phys.org / Light-controlled hydrogel mimics soft human tissue for more realistic cell studies
For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Now researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a water-rich, Jell-O-like material ...
