Phys.org / Using plutonium to probe the universe: Magneto‑ν experiment advances dark matter and neutrino research
Astronomers can't see dark matter directly, but they know it's there: Its gravity shapes galaxies and the large-scale structure of the cosmos. In an effort to uncover the composition of this hidden mass, a team at Lawrence ...
Tech Xplore / AI prevents unstable material designs, cutting costs for chip and cooling applications
Today, anyone with a large enough artificial intelligence model can generate millions of new material designs in minutes. Unfortunately, that hasn't led to a huge leap in the number of new materials being used to improve ...
Medical Xpress / Students find AI isn't a cure all for drug discovery
There's been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence's potential to transform drug research and discovery—and companies are spending billions in pursuit of that dream.
Medical Xpress / First-in-human pilot trial improves stem cell collection and delivery for sickle cell gene therapy
Patients with sickle cell disease are often hesitant to undergo transformative gene therapy—the current lengthy process requires multiple hospital visits to collect enough stem cells. Researchers from Boston Children's Hospital ...
Tech Xplore / Using light to distinguish real from fake with hard-to-replicate 'artificial fingerprints'
Shine a light, and the real can be distinguished from the fake. KAIST researchers have developed a security technology that uses unique artificial fingerprints created by the random assembly of nanoparticles. Although extremely ...
Medical Xpress / Neural implant in Korea remotely controlled from the United States
A researcher in Chicago remotely controls a miniaturized brain implant in Daejeon, Korea—over the internet. Korean researchers have developed a wireless device that can deliver drugs and light to precisely modulate targeted ...
Medical Xpress / Thyroid tablets recalled nationwide due to potential over-potency risk
More than 3,600 bottles of a common thyroid medication are being recalled nationwide because lab testing showed the pills could be too strong.
Tech Xplore / Amoeba-inspired method could enable energy-efficient hardware for complex optimization
Combinatorial optimization problems are ubiquitous, underpinning decision-making in a wide range of fields, including logistics, transportation, communication networks, drug discovery and materials science. However, these ...
Tech Xplore / Tri-layer electrolyte improves safety and lifespan of lithium-metal batteries
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) that use pure lithium (Li) for their negative electrodes are attracting significant attention because of their extremely high theoretical capacity. However, their practical applications are ...
Medical Xpress / Considerable global disparities found in access to dermatological care
Global access to dermatological care varies significantly, with 42% of countries reporting inadequate or extremely poor access, according to a study published online Aug. 26 in JAMA Dermatology.
Medical Xpress / Study finds gaps in home rehab after joint replacement
Every year, hundreds of thousands of older Americans recover from hip and knee replacement surgery at home. For many, that recovery depends on timely access to physical or occupational therapy after leaving the hospital.
Phys.org / More than half of adults in US say they lack basic statistical understanding
From the daily weather forecast to a baseball player's batting average to an individual's risk of developing lung cancer, understanding statistics can help people in the United States navigate their lives, according to Mark ...
