Medical Xpress / Air pollution associated with increased migraine activity
Air pollution is associated with increased migraine activity, according to a study published in Neurology. Both short-term and cumulative exposure to air pollution as well as climate factors such as heat and humidity were ...
Tech Xplore / CacheMind turns chip tuning into a conversation, exposing hidden cache failures and lifting processor performance
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new AI-assisted tool that helps computer architects boost processor performance by improving memory management. The tool, called CacheMind, is the first computer ...
Phys.org / Ultrasound creates light inside the body, opening a new path to targeted treatments
Light has an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine—it can be used to stimulate cell growth, manipulate neural signals, and treat some cancers—but it doesn't easily pass through tissue. Most methods to ...
Phys.org / Wild Canadian freshwater fish reveal opioid and antidepressant buildup downstream
Fish living downstream of wastewater treatment plants are accumulating antidepressants, opioids and other drugs of abuse in their bodies, according to a new study. Using a new analytical method they developed, a team of researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Family-led firearm strategy goes 'beyond the screen' to curb suicide risk
A new University of Michigan study, published in Injury Prevention, tested a method called the Family Safety Net in Alaska, which shifts suicide prevention away from individual screening and toward household action. This ...
Medical Xpress / E-cigarette devices expose users to toxic metals, mouse study reveals
A study published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry by University of Technology Sydney (UTS) researchers showed that even short-term vaping at exposure levels below typical daily human use resulted in measurable accumulation ...
Phys.org / High school student designs low-cost teabags to remove arsenic from water and help millions
Arsenic contamination in drinking water is a global issue, with over 200 million people estimated to be at risk. While water treatment plants remove the metal, the problem persists in low-resource areas or undertreated well ...
Medical Xpress / People who consume ultra-processed foods have worse muscle health, study suggests
Researchers found that a diet high in ultra-processed foods is associated with higher amounts of fat stored inside thigh muscles, regardless of calorie or fat intake, physical activity or sociodemographic factors in a population ...
Medical Xpress / New yellow fever vaccine matches safety and effectiveness of current shot
Yellow fever is a viral disease that is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. The symptoms range from mild fever-like aches and pains to severe liver disease with bleeding, often accompanied by yellowing ...
Phys.org / Marine sponge bacterium enzyme reveals a two-part route to make terpenoids
The molecular structure of an enzyme from a marine bacterium with potential industrial uses has been determined by RIKEN researchers. The insights they have gained could help make a range of useful compounds through genetic ...
Phys.org / Deep learning turns weather satellite thermal imagery into hourly ocean current maps
Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep learning to thermal images ...
Phys.org / New methods can help study the phenomenon of turbulence
In his doctoral thesis, Michael Roop develops numerical methods that allow finding physically reliable approximate solutions to nonlinear differential equations used to model turbulence.
