Phys.org / The telescope that points itself
I'll admit to using AI for things it was probably never designed for. When my van threw a fault I couldn't immediately figure out—one that seems notorious for trips back and forth to a repair shop—I ended up in a long (but ...
Medical Xpress / AI framework decodes how brain regions talk to one another
For decades, neuroscientists have been able to record which parts of the brain show increased electrical activity during a behavior, such as when we form a memory or make a decision. But scientists haven't been able to determine ...
Phys.org / Fermentation emerges as key pathway for ammonium production beneath the Pearl River Delta
A study led by Professor Jimmy Jiujiu Jiao from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and Professor Meng Li from Shenzhen University has identified microbial fermentation as the ...
Phys.org / A coral among the stars: New species discovered on Costa Rica's deep-sea seamounts
Scientists exploring seamounts off the coast of Costa Rica have discovered a new coral so genetically and morphologically distinct that it required the creation of an entirely new family for its classification. Bright yellow ...
Phys.org / How dogs evolved differently across the globe to match human traits
We call them "man's best friend," and the evidence supports it. Dogs have been found buried alongside humans in graves dating back 14,000 years. They appear in ancient art from every continent, and they feature in the mythology, ...
Medical Xpress / Why aren't doctors diagnosing primary aldosteronism?
Primary aldosteronism (otherwise known as PA or Conn Syndrome) is the leading endocrine cause of hypertension (high blood pressure). It carries a higher risk of stroke, heart attack, atrial fibrillation and kidney failure ...
Medical Xpress / Youth mental health program saves nearly $10 for every dollar invested
An innovative youth mental health service model can improve care and ease pressure on Canada's health care system, a new study led by researchers at McGill University demonstrates.
Medical Xpress / Wearable microneedle patch empowers conventional ultrasound for continuous glucose monitoring
Long-term diabetes management requires continuous blood glucose monitoring to detect abnormalities early and intervene in time. However, conventional fingertip blood sampling is both painful and inconvenient, while most continuous ...
Medical Xpress / Brain immune cell map explains how defenses shift during Alzheimer's progression
The brain's immune cells are increasingly recognized as key players in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly how they change as the disease develops has remained unclear. A new study published in Nature Genetics provides the most ...
Medical Xpress / Organized, biennial fecal immunochemical testing-based screening linked to lower colorectal cancer mortality
An organized fecal immunochemical testing (FIT)-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program is associated with a sustained decline in CRC mortality, according to a study published online Aug. 5 in JAMA Network Open.
Medical Xpress / Single blood test could provide more information about cancer
A single blood test could in the future provide a more comprehensive picture of cancer than current methods. In a review article published in the journal Genome Medicine, researchers at Karolinska Institutet describe how ...
Phys.org / Two origins of life: Free-living cells may have emerged twice as bacteria and archaea diverged
How and where did the first forms of life arise? These are the main questions driving research at the Institute of Molecular Evolution at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU). In a new publication in Science Advances, ...
