Phys.org / Nanoparticles with AI-crafted sensors open paths to at-home cancer screening
Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers are using artificial ...
Phys.org / 'Platypus' objects in the early universe look like stars but behave like galaxies
Scientists at the University of Missouri have identified a small group of unusual objects in the early universe. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Haojing Yan and his team at Mizzou's College of Arts and Science ...
Phys.org / Study overturns long-held model of how plants coordinate immune responses
Plants mobilize their immune defenses far earlier than scientists have believed for decades—and through a previously overlooked early signaling mechanism—according to a new study published in Nature Plants.
Medical Xpress / Mathematics uncovers shifting brain connectivity in autism and aging
It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" to each other. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences Leipzig, ...
Medical Xpress / Weaker body clocks linked to higher dementia risk in older adults
Circadian rhythms that are weaker and more fragmented are linked to an increased risk of dementia, according to a new study published in Neurology. The study also found that circadian rhythm levels that peaked later in the ...
