Phys.org / UK rivers face rising risk of climate 'whiplash'
Climate change could push UK rivers to dangerous extremes and bring more frequent rapid swings between wet and dry conditions—a phenomenon known as hydroclimatic whiplash—according to research led by the University of East ...
Medical Xpress / ECG privacy model shields age, sex and race while preserving heart risk signals
It is a common misperception that electrocardiograms (ECGs) simply contain data about heart activity. However, modern ECGs enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) can contain data about a patient's sex, age, race and even ...
Medical Xpress / Copper drug restores memory and clears toxic Alzheimer's proteins, preclinical study finds
Monash University researchers have found in laboratory experiments that a drug that delivers copper to the brain significantly reduces toxic Alzheimer's proteins and improves long-term spatial memory.
Phys.org / Genetic study finds urban rodents may be evolving against common poisons
For years, pest control professionals throughout the Northeast have reported a troubling pattern. In some neighborhoods, rodents seemed increasingly difficult to eliminate, even when standard control methods were used. Now ...
Tech Xplore / Redesigned high-NA lithography optical system aims to overcome challenges in semiconductor chipmaking
From data centers powering next-generation AI to vital medical technology, cars, and the mobile device or computer you're probably reading this on, semiconductor-based computer chips are essential to modern life.
Medical Xpress / 'Zombie' cells play an unexpected role in the developing brain
Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized cells that allow essential ...
Phys.org / Most precise measurement of the force that binds nuclear matter achieved
Trinity's Prof. Stefan Sint, along with collaborators from Germany, Spain and Italy, has published the most precise determination to date of the strong coupling constant. This parameter governs the interactions between quarks ...
Medical Xpress / Study strengthens alcohol's link to deadly pancreatic cancer
A new paper led by researchers at the University of Victoria's Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research (CISUR) contributes to mounting evidence that alcohol use can cause pancreatic cancer.
Phys.org / 50-megapixel Earth models capture storms in unprecedented detail—but four consistent blind spots remain
Traditional global climate models were like early digital cameras—they had only about 10,000 pixels to cover the entire planet. At that low resolution, big storm systems looked like blurry blobs. You couldn't see their true ...
Phys.org / Thermochemical mantle plume identified as the likely origin of Earth's largest oceanic plateau
The Ontong Java Plateau in the western Pacific Ocean is the largest oceanic plateau on Earth, and its formation mechanism has not been well understood.
Medical Xpress / Slow breathing can influence brain activity and decision behavior
A new study from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam–Rehbruecke (DIfE) and Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin shows for the first time that targeted control of human breathing rhythm can influence decision behavior ...
Medical Xpress / How do beta blocker heart drugs actually work for anxiety?
A reality TV star's claim that a beta blocker dulled their emotions and made them appear calm on camera has sparked a wave of social media commentary.
