Tech Xplore / By combining three electrical signals, researchers catch faults earlier
A new diagnostic method could allow electricity substations to detect hidden insulation faults in relay-protection circuits earlier than conventional testing, according to research in the International Journal of Energy Technology ...
Phys.org / Are zoos ready for the changing climate?
When people think about climate change and animals, they might picture melting sea ice, drought-stricken landscapes or species struggling in the wild. Far less attention is given to the animals living in our care. Yet as ...
Phys.org / AI learns to spot tomato diseases using nearly 9,000 field images
A breakthrough in AI-driven crop disease detection is set to reduce harvest losses and chemical-related health risks, thanks to a first-of-its-kind tomato leaf dataset comprising almost 9,000 images.
Phys.org / New findings overturn 100-year-old assumption about common bacteria in the lungs
The human body is teeming with more than 35 trillion bacteria, coexisting in microbiomes inside the gut, mouth, lungs, skin and urogenital tract. While it's now clear these microbes are associated with health and disease, ...
Medical Xpress / New guidance encourages GPs and physiologists to ditch unnecessary shoulder scans
Monash University researchers have reviewed existing evidence and concluded that most shoulder problems get better with self-management, education and time, challenging widespread clinical reliance on early imaging and surgical ...
Medical Xpress / Obesity weakens anti-tumor immune response in lung cancer, but exercise may restore it
Obesity can weaken the immune system's tumor-killing responses in lung cancer, leading to disease progression, but a new study by experts at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center reveals that exercise may reverse this ...
Phys.org / Early hardship may shape how oxytocin influences altruism
While humans are inherently social beings, they can interact and connect with others in very different ways. For instance, while some people tend to be more altruistic, others are less prone to helping their friends, acquaintances ...
Medical Xpress / Why brain imaging struggles to identify psychiatric disorder signatures
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to determine whether different neuropsychiatric conditions are linked to specific variations in brain structure and neural connections. While past studies identified possible ...
Phys.org / Active supermassive black holes may help form massive planets
A popular myth about black holes is that they act like giant cosmic vacuum cleaners, sucking in everything around them. But Wladimir Lyra's research found a new mechanism around supermassive black holes that is more like ...
Phys.org / Protein-like nanoparticles sort themselves inside growing crystals, enabling controlled release
The tiny bones in your fingers withstand countless taps and swipes thanks to a precise blend of materials. Flexible collagen fibers form the framework, reinforced by hard calcium phosphate hydroxyapatite crystals. This is ...
Medical Xpress / TLR2 links inflammation to neonatal heart regeneration, mouse study finds
Unlike adult hearts, the hearts of newborn mammals can temporarily regenerate after damage. However, this remarkable ability is rapidly lost within the first days of life. In a new study, scientists investigated how neonatal ...
Tech Xplore / AI framework reconstructs high-resolution fluorescence lifetime images from faster, lower-resolution scans
UCLA researchers have developed a deep learning framework that reconstructs high-resolution fluorescence lifetime images from data acquired at up to five times lower spatial resolution, offering a path toward faster tissue ...
