Medical Xpress / Frontal brain signal tied to compulsive behaviors in people with OCD
A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, chronic hair-pulling, and skin-picking in people with obsessive compulsive disorder, according ...
Phys.org / New 3D printing ink uses 70% lignin and recycles with water
Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital model. These methods are ...
Medical Xpress / Clinicians as team leads may raise the odds AI improves care, study suggests
Over the last decade, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care has risen significantly, but AI-driven innovations in health care delivery have not fully met expectations. Research on the use of AI in health ...
Phys.org / Gradient cathodes boost stability of Li-rich batteries
Recently, a research team led by Prof. Zhao Bangchuan from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Xiao Yao from Wenzhou University, ...
Phys.org / Oldest known reptile skin impressions dated to 298 million years found in Germany
An international research team led by Dr. Lorenzo Marchetti from the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin has described the oldest known impressions of reptile skin from the Thuringian Forest in central Germany. Particularly remarkable ...
Phys.org / Global analysis tracks 3,100 glacier surges as climate change rewrites the rules
While most of the world's glaciers are retreating as the climate warms, a small but significant population behaves very differently—and the consequences can be severe. A team of international scientists, led by the University ...
Medical Xpress / Blood-based tests show strong promise for dementia diagnosis—but population diversity matters
In a study published today, Friday, February 13, 2026, in the journal Nature Aging, researchers show that blood-based biomarkers can support accurate dementia diagnosis across diverse populations when integrated with cognitive ...
Phys.org / Key yeast enzyme discovered after 15 years reveals how sugar-donor DLOs are regulated
After a long search, RIKEN researchers have identified an enzyme crucial for keeping lipid-linked sugar chains in check in yeast cells. This finding, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, reveals a novel regulatory mechanism ...
Phys.org / Scientists say genetic analysis could greatly speed restoration of iconic American chestnut
Billions of American chestnut trees once covered the eastern United States. They soared in height, producing so many nuts that sellers moved them by train car. Every Christmas, they're called to mind by the holiday lyric ...
Phys.org / 7,000 years of change: How humans reshaped Caribbean coral reef food chains
Human activity has lessened the resilience of modern coral reefs by restricting the food-fueled energy flow that moves through the food chains of these critical ecosystems, reports an international team of researchers in ...
Tech Xplore / New sound-based 3D-printing method enables finer, faster microdevices
Concordia researchers have developed a new 3D-printing technique that uses sound waves to directly print tiny structures onto soft polymers like silicone with far greater precision than before. The approach, called proximal ...
Phys.org / Rules of unknown board game from the Roman period revealed
Researchers have used AI to reconstruct the rules of a board game carved into a stone found in the Dutch city of Heerlen. The team concludes that this type of game was played several centuries earlier than previously assumed.
