Medical Xpress / For early prostate cancer, 'active surveillance' is now the number 1 choice
Three decades after UC San Francisco pioneered "active surveillance" for patients with low-risk prostate cancer, a new study has found that the vast majority of veterans with the diagnosis pursued this option instead of treatment.
Phys.org / Reddit analysis finds AI trust narrowly exceeds distrust, 31% to 26%
Is generative artificial intelligence technology a helpful tool or a big problem? Nearly four years after ChatGPT became a household name, most people are either using AI applications or generally aware of what the technology ...
Tech Xplore / 'Forgetful' AI semiconductor processes recent inputs without separate resets
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the "ability to forget" can serve as a new computational function for artificial intelligence.
Phys.org / New fiber-based electronic device generates power and detects harmful gas
Research teams have developed a multifunctional fiber-shaped electronic device capable of both generating electricity and detecting hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas. The achievement demonstrates that a single fiber can function ...
Medical Xpress / Could the risk of schizophrenia be identified years before the first symptoms appear?
A study examined the brains of children at increased risk of developing schizophrenia to determine whether signs of vulnerability can be detected during childhood. The findings suggest that subtle brain differences may emerge ...
Phys.org / Boron layers could set a superconductivity record, theoretical study predicts
Scientists in China predict that stacking two microscopic layers of boron could set a new record for superconductivity. Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance. Traditional types need temperatures ...
Phys.org / 'How many will die?': The mysterious ailment killing Kenyan elephants
Lying on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust, the elephant slowly exhausted himself in futile attempts to stand, the latest potential victim of a still-mysterious ailment in southern Kenya.
Phys.org / Controlling wild pigs can work if it's a group effort
The federal government is injecting millions of dollars into efforts to combat feral hogs—and it's considering spending even more in the coming years. The problem has grown for decades, but our research has found that a recently ...
Dialog / A surprising pathway that lets the striatum talk directly to the auditory cortex
For decades, neuroscientists have thought about communication between the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia in a fairly linear way. The cortex sends information into the basal ganglia, where that information is processed ...
Medical Xpress / Novel AI model accurately detects key gene mutations and predicts biomarkers across 32 cancer types
Researchers have developed a novel AI model that can analyze a routine whole-slide histopathology image and simultaneously predict cancer subtype, specific genetic mutations and survival outcomes across 32 different solid ...
Phys.org / Webb reveals oxygen-rich dust and water surviving near Milky Way's central black hole
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers has discovered that dust and water can form and survive surprisingly close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky ...
Phys.org / Could geothermal roads help prevent potholes before they form? New trial aims to find out
The U.K.'s pothole problem could one day be tackled from beneath the road surface as researchers at the University of Surrey launch a pioneering trial that uses heat stored underground to keep roads cooler in summer, warmer ...
