Medical Xpress / Researchers examine unanticipated benefits of GLP-1 medications
GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual agonists have transformed the treatment of obesity and other metabolic diseases, and a new editorial co-authored by Dr. Steven Heymsfield of LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center and ...
Phys.org / From Google to ChatGPT, physics students increasingly seek answers through conversational AI
Students around the world are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to find answers to questions about physics, according to a new study led by researchers at Bar-Ilan University.
Phys.org / TESS discovers a rare brown dwarf orbiting a massive, aging star
For decades, astronomers lumped brown dwarfs into a single category defined by mass alone—too big to be classified as planets but too small to become stars. However, this definition ignores the two very different mechanisms ...
Phys.org / When can your child stay home alone? Neuroscience suggests we're asking the wrong question
Would you trust your child to stay home alone? For many caregivers, the answer depends on age. But when it comes to safety and independence, neuroscience suggests a different question may be more important: Is your child ...
Medical Xpress / Why brain imaging struggles to identify psychiatric disorder signatures
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to determine whether different neuropsychiatric conditions are linked to specific variations in brain structure and neural connections. While past studies identified possible ...
Phys.org / Active supermassive black holes may help form massive planets
A popular myth about black holes is that they act like giant cosmic vacuum cleaners, sucking in everything around them. But Wladimir Lyra's research found a new mechanism around supermassive black holes that is more like ...
Phys.org / Recyclable glue bonds underwater in seconds and holds for years
Most glues need a dry surface to stick properly. Bonding materials underwater is challenging because water forms a thin film on any surface, so instead of an adhesive touching a material directly, it touches a layer of water, ...
Phys.org / Engineered E. coli convert kimchi radish waste into biodegradable bioplastic
Every year, thousands of tons of radish by-products generated during kimchi production are discarded despite containing valuable carbon and nutrient resources. Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim) have developed ...
Phys.org / After commercial whaling nearly erased them, blue and fin whales are slowly reclaiming the southeast Atlantic
More than 40 years after the end of commercial whaling, new research reveals a recent increase in sightings of the world's two largest whale species in the southeastern Atlantic. The findings, published in the African Journal ...
Phys.org / AI companies look to the ocean as a place to put more data centers
The artificial intelligence boom is driving unprecedented demand for data centers, raising concerns about their growing energy consumption, water use and carbon footprint. These challenges are making companies look beyond ...
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy found effective against a subtype of difficult-to-treat ovarian cancer
A research group has revealed through studies in humans and mice that a subset of clear cell ovarian cancers, which have been considered difficult to treat with anticancer drugs and immunotherapy, responds to immunotherapy.
Tech Xplore / By combining three electrical signals, researchers catch faults earlier
A new diagnostic method could allow electricity substations to detect hidden insulation faults in relay-protection circuits earlier than conventional testing, according to research in the International Journal of Energy Technology ...
