Medical Xpress / Study investigates treatment safety in cases of late HIV diagnosis
About 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV infection. In the United Kingdom, there are approximately 100,000 people affected. If the infection is not treated, the body will eventually be unable to defend itself ...
Medical Xpress / AI tools poised to transform global TB detection
Researchers have unveiled new AI tools, from smartphone cough analysis to child-friendly screening systems, which could transform how tuberculosis is detected, monitored and prevented.
Medical Xpress / Singing mice speak volumes: Brain mechanisms behind song production explored in new research
All mice squeak, but only some sing. Scotinomys teguina, aka Alston's singing mice, hail from the cloud forests of Costa Rica. More than 2,000 miles north, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) neuroscientists study these ...
Phys.org / Simple gel jelly beads on liquid surface reveal secrets of slow earthquakes
Slow earthquakes have been discovered to exhibit anomalously slow, long-lasting and small slips, adjacent to regular earthquakes where we sometimes feel catastrophic vibration. However, no one knows the reason why slow earthquakes ...
Phys.org / How to watch the last supermoon of the year
The last supermoon of the year will shine soon in December skies.
Medical Xpress / Public health practitioners combine proven interventions to tackle complex health challenges using new framework
Vast resources have gone into developing and testing medical and public health interventions so they can be used confidently as evidence-based practices. Yet many interventions are deployed in isolation—even when the people ...
Tech Xplore / Small changes make some AI systems more brain-like than others
Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University.
Phys.org / Delaying building block supply boosts self-assembly efficiency of complex systems, biophysicists demonstrate
The ability to self-organize is a key feature of biological systems and is widely found in nature: small building blocks that autonomously assemble give rise to macromolecules such as the cell nucleus, virus capsids, or complex ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell organoids mimic aspects of early limb development
Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing how a specialized signaling center shapes both cell identity and tissue organization.
Phys.org / AI's impact could worsen gaps between world's rich and poor, a UN report says
Behind the hoopla over the promise of artificial intelligence lay difficult realities, including how such technology might affect people already disadvantaged in a data-driven world.
Phys.org / Social media marketing falls flat as a signal of quality, research finds
Research published in Information Systems Research finds that social media marketing (SMM) does little to help high-quality firms stand apart from competitors. Instead, it often pushes companies of all quality levels toward ...
Phys.org / When 'hearing' means 'understanding': The case of the verb kikoyu in pre-modern Japanese
A new study draws on a rigorous analysis of the Corpus of Historical Japanese to trace the semantic evolution of the verb "kikoyu" from the 8th century to the 20th century. This verb, which initially referred to unintentional ...
