Phys.org / Stomach stone hypothesis sheds light on the evolution of dinosaur digestive systems
An international research team led by Assistant Professor Ryuji Takasaki of the Faculty of Biosphere-Geosphere Science at Okayama University of Science has published a paper proposing a new hypothesis on the evolutionary ...
Phys.org / Bringing it all into focus—computational microscope captures 25.2 billion pixels per second across a wide field of view
When designing microscopes, optical engineers have long faced a trade-off between speed, field of view and resolution. But improving one of these properties typically comes at the expense of another. Now, a UC Berkeley–led ...
Phys.org / New study: Less invasive thermal imaging could improve research on endangered hatchling tortoises
A new study by San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance researchers has identified a less invasive way to estimate the body temperature of hatchling Mojave desert tortoises, offering scientists a promising tool for studying endangered ...
Medical Xpress / Gene mutations behind serious bone marrow conditions identified
Inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, or IBMFS, describes a group of disorders in which inherited genetic abnormalities impair the bone marrow's ability to produce sufficient healthy blood cells. Patients with these disorders ...
Phys.org / Seaweed-derived coating keeps strawberries fresher than a fridge
University of British Columbia researchers have developed an edible, seaweed-derived coating that can keep strawberries fresh for at least four days at room temperature, outperforming uncoated berries stored in the refrigerator.
Phys.org / Small dinosaur fossil suggests Fukushima coast hosted iguanodontians of different sizes
Iguanodontians are a diverse group of herbivorous dinosaurs that lived from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous and had a worldwide distribution. Intercontinental dispersal events between Asia, North America and Europe ...
Tech Xplore / Hardware-aware framework accelerates large language models without additional training
As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly embedded in chatbots, virtual assistants, translation services, coding tools and other AI-powered applications, delivering responses quickly and efficiently has become a ...
Tech Xplore / Polar molecules and polymer bridges overcome two key limits in organic electronics
A research team led by Professor Kang Bosoek of the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nano Technology (SAINT), Department of Nano Engineering and Department of Semiconductor Convergence Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University has ...
Medical Xpress / Breast milk protein osteopontin may shield infants from respiratory infections
QIMR Berghofer researchers have found how breast milk supports infant immunity via a protein called osteopontin. The study also identifies a potential way of mimicking this protective effect in baby formula. The findings, ...
Medical Xpress / US sees a big jump in nausea cases among frequent marijuana users in the hospital
In the past year, the U.S. has seen a jump in frequent marijuana users going to the hospital with a nausea and vomiting condition, according to a report released Thursday.
Tech Xplore / Selective microwave heating speeds bamboo-to-hydrogen fuel conversion
Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that microwave (MW) radiation can dramatically speed the conversion of biomass into useful gases by creating localized high-temperature regions on nickel nanoparticles. Using advanced ...
Phys.org / New method could sharpen diamond quantum sensors for tracking activity in single cells
A diamond-based quantum sensor inserted into a living cell can provide previously unseen levels of detail about how life works and how diseases form. "Think of it as an EKG for a single cell—a way to capture everything happening ...
