Medical Xpress / Now is the time for evidence-based, specific dietary guidance to nourish adolescents
Adolescence is a critical time for nutritional health, given the rapid physical growth, hormonal changes and neurodevelopmental shifts taking place. Yet diet quality is at its lowest during this pivotal life stage, compounded ...
Medical Xpress / How much the immune system sees may shape how well we fight infections
Why does the same infection cause only mild symptoms in one person but more serious disease in another? A new study led by the HUN-REN BRC Szeged Momentum Systems Immunology Research Group, together with several international ...
Tech Xplore / Meta's teen safety deal runs into an unsolved problem: Proving age
Meta's landmark settlement with nearly every U.S. state promises curfews and time limits for teens on Instagram and Facebook—but rests on age and parent checks nobody has figured out how to make work.
Phys.org / Looking into the eyes of gibbons: New noninvasive eye-tracking study features these little-studied apes
When you look at someone, you usually look at their face. It serves as one of the most important sources of social information in primates, so the evolution of face perception has attracted considerable scientific attention. ...
Phys.org / How fusion reactions can survive flaws—up to a point
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have found that implosions designed for inertial fusion energy (IFE) can tolerate significant imperfections before performance abruptly declines, a finding that ...
Phys.org / After 80 years, elusive molecules reveal how ozone starts turning plant emissions into haze
Scientists have directly observed a fleeting chemical reaction that creates a key ingredient in urban smog. The research offers insight into the earliest stages of pollution formation and could help improve air quality forecasting ...
Medical Xpress / How pregnancy itself drives deadly hepatitis E outcomes
Researchers have uncovered a biological mechanism that helps explain why hepatitis E virus infections can be especially severe—and often fatal—during pregnancy, finding that normal pregnancy-related hormonal changes inadvertently ...
Tech Xplore / How AI could uncover the hidden ways people work together
Yankai Wang, a Ph.D. student in organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business, was reading a paper about how transformers—the architecture behind large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Claude—might ...
Phys.org / Scientists resurrect ancient proteins, offering new antibiotic leads
University of Oregon biologists have resurrected prehistoric proteins up to 160 million years old that carry natural antimicrobial properties. The revived molecules could inspire the design of new treatments for antibiotic-resistant ...
Phys.org / Corners in focus: Metasurface enables motion tracking without digital image processing
A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has developed a new optical corner-detection imaging method that uses azimuthal Hilbert transform metasurfaces and is designed to work as a universal framework. The ...
Medical Xpress / Bird bulking: Exercise in youth decreases energy used for moving as an adult
Physical activity in adulthood may depend on exercise during growth, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers. The study, conducted in birds, is the first to directly demonstrate that experiences during development ...
