Medical Xpress / Machine learning reveals two main Parkinson's types and five subgroups
A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that Parkinson's disease can be divided into distinct subtypes, helping explain why a single treatment does not work for all patients. Using a machine-learning-driven ...
Phys.org / Digitizing microscope slides can uncover billions of fossils for natural history
Approximately 145 million: That's the number of specimens—including plants, animals, minerals, and human artifacts—curators estimate are held in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. However, these estimates ...
Phys.org / Chemistry-aware AI can generate millions of plausible new molecules
Finding and developing new molecules is one of the great research endeavors of modern chemistry. From the development of new drugs to the creation of more sustainable materials, everything depends on finding new combinations ...
Phys.org / Study says trees counter half the world's urban heating, but not in the places that need it most
Trees are countering nearly half the urban heating from pavement and buildings in the world's cities, but they're not doing enough cooling in hotter, poorer cities where it's needed the most as the world warms, a new study ...
Phys.org / Dinosaurs may have originated 10 million years earlier than fossils show
Dinosaurs are among the most majestic and iconic animals to have ever walked on our planet. While they are now extinct, they are estimated to have inhabited Earth for over 165 million years.
Phys.org / Dairy farms in California may transmit H5N1 virus through multiple sources
The H5N1 strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been detected in over 700 herds of dairy cows in California, the largest dairy-producing state in the U.S. A study published in PLOS Biology led by Seema S. Lakdawala ...
Medical Xpress / Early-life chemical exposure may leave extra X and Y chromosomes in sperm
An estimated 7% of all men are affected by infertility. Multiple animal studies indicate that exposure to persistent environmental chemicals in early life can negatively impact male reproductive health, and now a human study ...
Phys.org / Membrane complex aids rock-eating microbes in converting carbon dioxide to biomass
So-called rock-eating microorganisms obtain their energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) from inorganic sources and make up the vast majority of biomass producers. Using electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy, a research ...
Medical Xpress / Cognitive behavioral therapy shows promise managing menopausal insomnia and hot flashes
Insomnia is a common problem, affecting as many as 20% to 60% of perimenopausal and postmenopausal US women. Because of its possible severe physical and psychological effects, ongoing research is focused on identifying effective ...
Tech Xplore / Using diesel generators to power the AI revolution would kill hundreds of Americans a year
With U.S. electricity demand starting to rise quickly and expected to continue rising, largely because of the power needed for data centers that process artificial intelligence, people are looking for almost any potential ...
Phys.org / Chemists capture light-matter hybrid particles traveling long distances
To capture a crisp image of a hummingbird in flight, which can flap its wings up to 200 times per second, a photographer needs a camera with an extremely fast shutter speed. But what if your target is smaller than a single ...
Phys.org / Indigenous lands can outperform protected areas on conservation, researchers find
A new study led by UBC researchers has found that lands managed by Indigenous Peoples consistently protect forests, biodiversity and carbon stores at levels equal to or greater than government-designated protected areas—yet ...
