Medical Xpress / Voice disorder may be an early sign of dementia, study suggests
Those experiencing worsening voice quality—in pitch, clarity, volume, reduced vocal range or other voice disorders—and no hearing loss may be at 58% greater risk of cognitive impairment or dementia than those who are not ...
Phys.org / Quantum control algorithm looks to explain how birds migrate
The hidden world of quantum mechanics exists at scales many orders of magnitude smaller than living organisms, yet scientists have long theorized that quantum effects play an important role in biology. Birds' ability to sense ...
Phys.org / AI could undermine managers' judgment unless used carefully, study warns
Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) has become a routine part of working life, but overreliance on the technology may erode managers' ability to build moral insights, contextual understanding and know-how to get a ...
Medical Xpress / Genetics of personality may shape more life outcomes than previously thought
An international consortium of researchers found that more than 1,200 different genetic variants are associated with the Big Five personality traits—and, surprisingly, these personality genetics are linked to dozens of life ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers create a world-first in floating titanium
Research led by RMIT University shows the 3D-printed titanium lattice—made up of hollow, interconnected struts filled with foam—not only floats but also withstands seawater exposure and is stronger than the stainless steel ...
Phys.org / Physicists take Hall effect in a new direction
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon that challenges a longstanding assumption about how electronic materials respond to magnetic fields. The discovery broadens the fundamental understanding ...
Medical Xpress / Cerebral palsy might be a collection of symptoms, not its own disease
Historically, cerebral palsy (CP) was linked largely to events at birth, including prematurity or temporary loss of oxygen to the brain, but research over the past decade has suggested that genetic factors contribute to CP ...
Phys.org / AI-designed proteins enable a new generation of RNA transporters
RNA-based therapeutics use RNA as a blueprint that enables cells to produce specific proteins—including proteins that can precisely modify genes. For this to work, the RNA must reach the inside of the cell intact. Delivery ...
Phys.org / Biodegradable 'nanobone' could one day help regrow bone without painful grafts
For children born with cleft lip and palate, repairing gaps in the jawbone often means waiting until they are 10 to 12 years old before undergoing invasive bone graft surgery. University of Sydney researchers have developed ...
Medical Xpress / Stopping chronic pain before it starts: Surprising biological pathway may play key role
Chronic pain is one of medicine's most stubborn puzzles. A sprained back, a surgical incision or a pinched nerve heals—and yet, for millions of people, the pain never fully goes away. Why some injuries fade into memory while ...
Phys.org / Microbial 'dark matter' yields 173 potential carbon dioxide-fixing strains
There are millions of species of bacteria and archaea on Earth, remarkably little is known about most of them. Now, researchers have mined the genomes of thousands of microorganisms preserved at the RIKEN BioResource Research ...
Medical Xpress / Rare antibodies with potential to combat alpha-gal syndrome identified
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have discovered rare antibodies that could inform the development of an intervention for alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), an emerging tick bite-associated condition that can cause ...
