Tech Xplore / Researchers use machine learning and social network theory to identify formation patterns in digital forums
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology used machine learning tools and social network theory—the study of how people connect with each other—to better understand how people interact online. Using data from X, formerly ...
Medical Xpress / ADHD medication in childhood may reduce later psychosis risk, study finds
A new study, led by scientists at University College Dublin and the University of Edinburgh, has found that commonly prescribed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication in childhood may lower the long-term ...
Phys.org / China's earliest Bronze Age meteoritic iron artifact unearthed at Sanxingdui sacrificial site
In a study published in Archaeological Research in Asia, Dr. Haichao Li and a team of researchers analyzed the earliest Bronze Age meteoritic iron artifact from southwestern China, the largest found to date in the country. ...
Phys.org / Bioelectronic platform enables precise H₂S delivery to cells, turning a toxic gas into a therapeutic tool
A toxic gas known for its "rotten egg smell" has been transformed into a therapeutic tool. A research team at KAIST has developed a technology to precisely control hydrogen sulfide (H2S) using electrical signals, bringing ...
Phys.org / Why some reefs recover faster than others—mathematical model spotlights coral recruitment patterns
Climate-driven disturbances such as marine heat waves are rapidly reducing coral cover and degrading reef ecosystems worldwide. Using a mathematical model, a research team led by Subhendu Chakraborty at the Leibniz Center ...
Medical Xpress / The brain's ability to grasp the 'gist' of a visual scene begins earlier than expected
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, it rapidly extracts the overall structure of the scene—for example, the mean (average) direction ...
Medical Xpress / Astrocyte NF-κB activation triggers harmful inflammation and poorer recovery after traumatic brain injury, finds study
A fall on the head, a blow to the skull, or a road traffic accident—the causes of traumatic brain injury are diverse, but the severe forms have a common denominator: immune reactions and inflammatory processes are added on ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover the driving force behind a lethal infant brain tumor
An international team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital, McGill University and University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has discovered what drives the growth of a lethal pediatric ...
Phys.org / New antibiotic alternative fights foodborne Salmonella
Antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella poses severe challenges to global food safety and public health. Researchers from China have now identified a novel bacteriophage that offers a highly promising "green" biocontrol solution ...
Medical Xpress / Immune response to cancer may cause autoimmune disorders, including anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
Consider two seemingly unrelated medical puzzles. First: Every day, our bodies produce hundreds of billions of new cells, many of which are mutated. If cancer arises from cellular mutation, why don't we all have the disease ...
Tech Xplore / Wristband enables wearers to control a robotic hand with their own movements
The next time you're scrolling on your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments in your hand. ...
Medical Xpress / Neuroscientists find 'blink of an eye' timing in how we use our brains to learn and move
Scientists have long studied the role of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that helps control learning and movement, in order to better understand Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and depression—afflictions caused, in ...
