Medical Xpress / Building a better CT scanner
Computed tomography (CT) scanning, which creates detailed 3D images of bones, soft tissues, and organs, is better than standard X-rays for investigating complex injuries, cancers, and vascular issues.
Phys.org / Understanding the role of linear ubiquitination in T-tubule biogenesis
Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play a significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their formation is yet to be elucidated. In a recent study, a research team from Japan used a Drosophila model ...
Medical Xpress / Noninvasive prenatal screening could prevent permanent hearing loss in newborns
A new study indicates that noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) performed using a low-cost form of whole genome sequencing can detect the risk in pregnant mothers of transmitting cytomegalovirus (CMV)—a common herpes infection ...
Phys.org / Direct 3D printing of nanolasers can boost optical computing and quantum security
In future high-tech industries, such as high-speed optical computing for massive AI, quantum cryptographic communication, and ultra-high-resolution augmented reality (AR) displays, nanolasers—which process information using ...
Phys.org / Evidence of upright walking found in 7-million-year-old Sahelanthropus fossils
In recent decades, scientists have debated whether a seven-million-year-old fossil was bipedal—a trait that would make it the oldest human ancestor. A new analysis by a team of anthropologists offers powerful evidence that ...
Phys.org / Programmable microparticles morph and self-propel under electrical fields
Researchers at CU Boulder have created tiny, microorganism-inspired particles that can change their shape and self-propel, much like living things, in response to electrical fields.
Phys.org / New tools turn grain crops into living biosensors
A collaborative team of researchers from the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, the University of Florida, Gainesville and University of Iowa have developed tools that allow grasses—including major grain crops like corn—to ...
Tech Xplore / Predicting the peak: New AI model prepares NYC's power grid for a warmer future
Buildings produce a large share of New York's greenhouse gas emissions, but predicting future energy demand—essential for reducing those emissions—has been hampered by missing data on how buildings currently use energy.
Medical Xpress / The neurotechnology shift: How next-generation wearables interface with the brain itself
Imagine you're shopping for a dinner party this weekend and you spot some nice, but expensive, bottles of wine. You're not sure if you can afford them, but before you can even open your banking app to check, a lightweight ...
Phys.org / How well-meaning allies increase stress for marginalized people
Someone in the office makes a racially insensitive comment, and a white co-worker asks a Black colleague to help correct the offender.
Phys.org / Superheated sediments in a submarine pressure cooker—an unexpected source of deep-sea hydrogen
The mid-ocean ridge runs through the oceans like a suture. Where Earth's plates move apart, new oceanic crust is continuously formed. This is often accompanied by magmatism and hydrothermal activity. Seawater seeps into the ...
Tech Xplore / AI helps pave the way for self-driving cars
Even if Elon Musk's dream of robotaxis for everyone is a long way off, sleek electric cars powered by artificial intelligence packed the Consumer Electronics Show, promising to liberate people from the tedium of driving.
