Phys.org / Lemur uses opera singer's trick to belt out forest songs
We are often left open-mouthed in awe as an opera singer hits a soaring top note. Now, researchers at the University of Warwick have found that the indri, the world's only known singing lemur, appears to use a strikingly ...
Medical Xpress / New method makes AI brain-disorder screening more transparent and computationally efficient
A research team at InfoLab, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), led by Professor Tamer Abuhmed, has developed a new vision transformer architecture called the 4D fMRI CrossFormer (4DfCF) to analyze four-dimensional functional ...
Medical Xpress / Cardiovascular health and exercise: How much aerobic activity do you really need?
As a physician, I am often asked by patients how much aerobic exercise is truly necessary for optimal cardiovascular health.
Phys.org / Electrical control method tunes magnetic properties for next-generation spintronic memory
A research team led by Professor Jung-Il Hong of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at DGIST has successfully used current pulses to alter the spin configuration within a ferrimagnetic material, lowering its "compensation ...
Phys.org / Psychologists provide tips on how to talk about identity
Imagine your child asks you out of the blue, "If we speak Spanish, will they take you away?" Or imagine them suddenly asking what an offensive slur means. When a child asks these types of questions, it can be difficult to ...
Medical Xpress / Sugar exposure in early life linked to anxiety in adulthood
Exposure to sugar in the first 1,000 days of a child's life increases the risk of developing anxiety in adulthood, according to a new study from the University of Surrey published in Translational Psychiatry. Scientists also ...
Medical Xpress / Osteoporosis fractures fall by 94% in small first-in-human stem cell trial
Somewhere in the world, a woman over 50 will have fractured a bone by the time you finish reading this sentence due to osteoporosis, a silent bone disease that can weaken the structural integrity of the skeletal system and ...
Medical Xpress / AI could cut medical device recalls by nearly a third, study finds
Most medical devices do not enter the market through rigorous safety testing but by being deemed similar enough to something already approved—the "predicate" device—through a mechanism known as the FDA's 510(k) pathway. But ...
Phys.org / Quantum communication protocol enables three users to establish a shared secure key
Quantum key distribution allows two users to establish secret keys whose security is grounded in the laws of quantum mechanics. Extending this capability to multiple users is an essential step toward quantum networks that ...
Phys.org / The state of sex among Gen Z: Is the sex recession real?
The Kinsey Institute surveyed 2,373 U.S. adults ages 18–29 to understand attitudes and behaviors behind the so-called sex recession and how young adults are navigating sex, dating and relationships today.
Phys.org / X-ray light is like guitar music, with frequencies sliding continuously between harmonics
Ultrashort laser pulses can be used to generate X-rays. Normally, however, only certain specific frequencies are produced. A team from TU Wien and the University of California San Diego has developed a method that makes it ...
Phys.org / New study finds personality is key in hiring effective leaders
A new study from Michigan State University found that the personality characteristics that get you promoted to a leadership role aren't necessarily the qualities that make you a good leader.
