Phys.org / Detecting the body's magnetic fields with a low-power Ramsey-based magnetometer
Our bodies generate extremely weak magnetic fields as electric currents flow through the heart, brain and other tissues. These signals are used in magnetocardiography and magnetoencephalography to assess heart function and ...
Medical Xpress / Do infrared saunas improve workout recovery? The evidence is still lukewarm
Infrared saunas are increasingly marketed as a post-exercise recovery tool that can reduce pain and fatigue, but the scientific evidence supporting these claims remains limited and conflicting.

Phys.org / Children and monkeys share common understanding of geometry
With their ability to use tools, remember faces and even learn how to communicate with humans through sign language, nonhuman primates are considered to be among the smartest creatures on Earth. However, some concepts—geometry, ...
Phys.org / AI‑designed gene‑editing enzymes expand the CRISPR toolbox
Scientists have made many advances using traditional CRISPR technology, especially in medicine, but they are now seeking ways to create genuinely new gene-editing enzymes with properties that have not already evolved naturally. ...
Medical Xpress / Human study links reduced inflammation to later myopia onset
University of Oklahoma College of Medicine researcher Jody Summers, Ph.D., has long hypothesized that inflammation plays a role in the development of myopia, or nearsightedness, in which close-up vision is clear but distance ...
