Medical Xpress / Whole-body ultrasound captures full cross-sections in 10 seconds, early tests show
Ultrasounds are a critical part of modern health care, helping to image soft tissue and organs, measure blood flow, and monitor fetal development. But the technique has constraints, including a limited field of view and the ...
Phys.org / Bringing quantum time into the lab—a single clock can run young and old at once
Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: its passage depends on motion and gravity. But when combined with quantum physics, this relativistic ...
Phys.org / Divergent moral values could make groups more accepting of norm-breaking behavior
Individuals in a morally diverse community tend to believe that the community's norms are looser. In turn, norm violations are more accepted, and there is a reduced willingness to police transgressions, according to research ...
Phys.org / A mother's gift: Plastid-derived structures help sea urchin development and dispersal
During the development of marine organisms—from fertilization through to juvenile stages—it is often observed that the eggs released into the water column are initially supplied with only a small fraction of the energy they ...
Medical Xpress / A global fertility reversal is unfolding, and it could upend who becomes parent in decades ahead
With few exceptions, birth rates are falling worldwide. What does this mean? Put simply, the fertility rate describes the average number of children a woman is expected to have over the course of her life, if exposed to the ...
Phys.org / Machine learning identifies catalyst 'sweet spot' for greener urea from waste gases
Urea is an extremely important chemical, especially for fertilizers. But, making urea is energy intensive and relies heavily on fossil fuels. However, new findings from Griffith University and the Queensland University of ...
Tech Xplore / Bubble trouble: Hydrogen research highlights outsized impacts of tiny bubbles in water electrolysis
Hydrogen is often described as the fuel of the future—a clean, energy-dense way to store renewable power and decarbonize industries from steelmaking to shipping. But inside the devices that produce it, a surprisingly small ...
Medical Xpress / Mobile app-based coaching can support healthy weight gain in pregnancy, new study finds
Obesity during pregnancy has been steadily increasing worldwide. In the United States, over 60% of pregnant individuals enter pregnancy overweight or obese, and more than half go on to exceed recommended gestational weight ...
Phys.org / Light near surface of ultra-thin optical fibers can sort twisted nanoparticles
Many important objects in the world can be divided into two categories based on their chirality or handedness, including molecules important for life such as amino acids. Such chiral objects (formally defined as objects which ...
Medical Xpress / Blood and spinal fluid proteins reveal distinct fingerprints of four brain diseases
Researchers at WashU Medicine have uncovered new molecular insights into Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other forms of dementia by analyzing thousands of proteins in both cerebrospinal fluid and blood plasma. ...
Phys.org / Brushstroke-mapping AI reopens a centuries-old mystery about one of El Greco's masterpieces
Spanish Renaissance master El Greco is often considered one of the greatest painters of all time, and many of his artworks are displayed in galleries around the world. His painting The Baptism of Christ is generally believed ...
Science X / Plato aces space-like tests, keeping hunt for Earth-like worlds on track
The European Space Agency Plato mission has successfully completed a series of tough tests under space-like conditions. With this accomplishment, the spacecraft is on track to lift off in early 2027 and begin its search for ...
