Medical Xpress / Thalamus actively contributes to the development of visual circuits, study reveals
A team led by researcher Guillermina López-Bendito at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has shown that the ...
Phys.org / Molecular antennae make light-activated molecular switches more sensitive
From targeted cancer treatments to self-healing materials and microscopic robots, many emerging technologies depend on molecules that can be controlled with light. Researchers at Tohoku University have now developed a way ...
Phys.org / Disposable vapes pose hidden environmental threat, researchers warn
Vaping isn't just annoying to passersby who have to walk through clouds of vapor but may be actively harmful to the environment, a new study says. Discarded nicotine vapes contain extremely high levels of lead and other heavy ...
Tech Xplore / 'Electrotech moneyball' framework developed to rank risk and opportunity in energy and AI supply chains
Carnegie Mellon University researchers developed a framework to help the United States secure the power infrastructure needed to support artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, all while reducing vulnerabilities ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered antibodies offer broad protection against deadly cobra toxins
A research team has developed a recombinant, nanobody-based antivenom that offers broad protection against venom from geographically diverse cobra and king cobra species in India. The study is published in Science Translational ...
Tech Xplore / Prepare for takeoff into smoother skies: Turbulence tool helps pilots reroute in real time
Turbulence can make a flight unpleasant or, in severe cases, dangerous. A turbulence avoidance tool created by researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) is making ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain responds to positive emotions is key to resilience after trauma, WTC responder research shows
New research has found that how the brain responds to anticipated rewards plays a key role in building psychological resilience after a traumatic experience. The findings from the new study among 9/11 responders, appearing ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted antibody treatment reverses diabetic nerve damage in mouse models
A team of UTHealth Houston researchers slowed and even reversed diabetic nerve damage in mice, bringing researchers one step closer to developing a treatment for humans. The research is published in Science Translational ...
Phys.org / Ancient DNA reveals 1,000 years of human-environment interactions at Crawford Lake
An international team of scientists has recreated a 1,000-year timeline documenting ecological changes and human impact on the area surrounding Crawford Lake, the famed location of the proposed Anthropocene.
Phys.org / A 'wholistic' view of cellular communication across an entire animal
It can't be heard, but different parts of the human body are in constant conversation, communicating to keep the entire system running efficiently. For biologists, being able to listen in on this discussion is a long-sought-after ...
Medical Xpress / Ancient viral remnants in our genome may help predict response to chemotherapy
In a new study, researchers from King's College London trained AI models on multiple types of clinical and biological data to determine whether they could predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) would respond ...
Phys.org / Physics-aware benchmark reveals why similar materials AI models can predict thermal conductivity differently
Material properties such as sound insulation, resistance to extreme heat and thermal expansion originate from how the zillions of microscopic building blocks (nuclei and electrons) interact at equilibrium and respond to perturbations. ...
