Medical Xpress / Music evokes story-like brain activity beyond auditory processing, brain imaging shows
In a paper appearing in Nature Communications, Princeton University researchers show how music produces distinct patterns in the regions of the brain associated with imagination and meaning, similar to those prompted by spoken ...
Phys.org / Novel insights into aerosol behavior could improve air-quality forecasting
New research from Purdue University demonstrates how organic aerosol molecules can influence one another's behavior in ways that existing atmospheric models do not fully capture.
Phys.org / A weakening Atlantic Ocean current system could accelerate Earth's warming
A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that shapes regional climates and distributes ocean nutrients also serves as a control knob to help regulate temperatures across the planet, new research has found.
Medical Xpress / Ambient light activates wearable patch for wound treatment
A research team has developed a wearable patch that simultaneously promotes wound closure and tissue regeneration using room light or sunlight, without batteries or an external electrical power source. The work has been published ...
Phys.org / AI-driven literature mining speeds discovery of heat-stable lead-free dielectric materials
Artificial intelligence has analyzed data scattered across hundreds of research papers to discover new lead-free dielectric materials that maintain stable performance even at high temperatures. The study presents a new approach ...
Medical Xpress / Cell-preservation technique could make CAR-T cell therapy more accessible
Immune cells that are engineered to attack cancer cells, known as CAR-T cells, are used to treat some types of blood cancer. However, only about 5% of hospitals in the United States can generate and deliver CAR-T cells to ...
Tech Xplore / Flash of light creates high-performance materials without heating the surface beneath
A flash of light lasting a fraction of a millisecond could help create better materials for solar energy. Researchers used ultrafast heating at rates of up to 10 million degrees Celsius per second to rearrange the atoms inside ...
Medical Xpress / New norovirus vaccine approach may shape strategies for treating other RNA viruses as well
Every RNA virus—from stomach bugs and influenza to measles and the common cold—has its own story to tell, with a unique combination of symptoms, transmission rates, duration and chemical blueprint.
Medical Xpress / In cancer clinical trials, federal and industry sponsors play complementary roles
A comparative study of the cancer clinical trial portfolios supported by federal funding versus industry funding reveals they have distinct, interdependent roles in cancer research.The work, "Federal and Industry Sponsorship ...
Medical Xpress / Deep learning improves detection of changes in chronic sinus disease on CT scans
A deep-learning tool developed to analyze sinus CT scans may provide a more sensitive way to detect treatment-related changes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, according to new research led in part ...
Medical Xpress / Maternal anemia linked to increased risk of giving birth to small, vulnerable babies
Almost 40% of mothers with moderate or severe anemia gave birth to babies who were born prematurely, had low birth weight or were smaller than expected for their gestational age, according to new research from the London ...
Phys.org / Foldamer–protein pair unlocks precise building blocks for artificial molecular materials
Proteins form complex three-dimensional shapes and can join together to create larger structures. Researchers want to use these properties to make artificial materials. However, arranging proteins and synthetic molecules ...
