Medical Xpress / New therapy eliminates gum disease bacterium while preserving beneficial oral microbes
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have created an innovative treatment for periodontitis that targets and eliminates harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial oral microbes essential for health. The findings were ...
Tech Xplore / Noninvasive AI-based system translates brain signals into written text
Some physical injuries and neurological conditions can temporarily or permanently impair movement, leaving some people unable to speak, type on keyboards or use electronic devices. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), systems ...
Phys.org / Rare ultra-magnetic star may be key to solving 90-year old quantum cold case
Astronomers may have just confirmed one of the quirkiest aspects of quantum mechanics: that seemingly empty space can alter the behavior of light. This phenomenon, called "vacuum birefringence," was first predicted nearly ...
Phys.org / Honduras review confirms 227 native mammal species after eight-year effort
An eight-year international research effort has produced the most comprehensive review of Honduras' mammals since 1998, verifying 227 native species across 146 genera and 42 families, along with three introduced rodent species. ...
Phys.org / Uranus's unusual rotation makes its bow shock expand and contract each day
Within our solar system, Uranus is a geometric oddball. Its spin axis tilts more than 90° from its orbit, so it essentially rolls on its side through space. In contrast, Earth and other planets tilt only moderately or not ...
Phys.org / New platform speeds bacterial gene mapping for better biotech design
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a platform that pinpoints genetic triggers that turn microbes into efficient factories for new chemicals and materials. The method enables ...
Phys.org / New quantum microscopy trick quadruples microscope resolution
Three years after a team of Caltech scientists showed that pairs of entangled photons could double the resolution of a light microscope, the same lab has figured out a way to double down on that improvement. They have now ...
Medical Xpress / What is emotional regulation? A child psychologist explains
If you've followed mental health topics on TikTok or Instagram lately, you have probably heard the term emotional regulation. But emotional regulation isn't just a trendy buzzword. It's a nuanced concept that psychologists ...
Tech Xplore / AI agents automate atom-by-atom simulations to accelerate discovery of new materials
A team from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has successfully demonstrated an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven system to automate a powerful simulation method that predicts how atoms in ...
Phys.org / Different genes, same result: How flies evolved multiple ways to define heads and tails
One of the most important milestones in the early life of an organism is when the embryo breaks symmetry and arranges itself to form the head (anterior) at one end and tail (posterior) at the other end. Scientists have used ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's-linked tau disrupts mitochondria, reversing electron flow in nerve cells
A protein named tau, which has been strongly implicated in the world's No. 1 cause of dementia—Alzheimer's disease—and several other neurodegenerative disorders, may spur these diseases in a way that differs greatly from ...
Medical Xpress / Early Alzheimer's patients pursuing lecanemab show low adherence to brain health advice
Researchers at the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute found that most patients with early Alzheimer's disease are not optimally adhering to recommendations for improving their brain health, including exercising, ...
