Tech Xplore / Kinematic intelligence lets three different robots learn the same task safely
In today's manufacturing environments, upgrading a robot fleet often means starting from scratch—not only replacing hardware, but also reprogramming tasks. Even when two robots are built to perform similar jobs, different ...
Medical Xpress / As RSV evolves, a two‑pronged antibody cocktail aims to stay ahead
Scientists in China have developed a two-antibody cocktail to treat respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, that in laboratory studies prevented the virus from developing drug resistance—a persistent problem with current therapies ...
Phys.org / Ocean eddies are amplifying climate extremes in coastal seas, study finds
New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in the ocean and amplifying ...
Phys.org / Fluorescent technique reveals hidden scale of microfiber pollution from our clothes
Pollution released from our textiles is smaller and more irregular in shape than previously thought, according to new research led by The University of Manchester. In a study published in Scientific Reports, Manchester researchers—in ...
Tech Xplore / The impact of all New Zealand's power sources from cradle to grave
A first national-scale study on the lifetime impact of New Zealand's electricity, transport, and heat sources shows road transport is a "prime target" for electrification. Scientists looked at how 15 energy sources affect ...
Medical Xpress / Innovative surgery relieves chronic leg and arm swelling
Advances in cancer treatment mean more people are living longer after a cancer diagnosis. But some survivors develop lymphedema—long-term swelling in the arms, hands, legs or feet that can cause pain, limit movement and raise ...
Phys.org / Wild Canadian freshwater fish reveal opioid and antidepressant buildup downstream
Fish living downstream of wastewater treatment plants are accumulating antidepressants, opioids and other drugs of abuse in their bodies, according to a new study. Using a new analytical method they developed, a team of researchers ...
Phys.org / Information from starquakes provides theoretical evidence for 'fossilized' magnetism in stars
For the first time, new theoretical models, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, connect the magnetism at the surface of long-dead stellar remnants (white dwarfs) with recent evidence of magnetism at the cores of their ...
Phys.org / Using computed tomography to study DNA from ancient humans without destroying samples
Research on ancient DNA is surging, but how can scientists ensure that human remains of irreplaceable significance are preserved? This is the question investigated by an international research team led by the University of ...
Medical Xpress / How long does a transplanted heart last?
Heart transplant surgeon Raymond Lee, MD, explains what patients can expect after a heart transplant—including how long the heart will last. The average lifespan of a transplanted heart is about 10 years, though outcomes ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny battery-free tags turn radio waves into a new way to track breathing at home and in hospitals
The same wireless technology that can track your cat or locate an item in a warehouse can also monitor your breathing. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the University of ...
Phys.org / Shredded stars reveal how black holes ignite trillion-sun flares
Supermassive black holes are among the most enigmatic objects in the universe. They typically weigh millions or even billions of times the mass of the sun and sit at the centers of most large galaxies. At the heart of the ...
