Phys.org / 'Toad-proofing' farms could help stop the march of invasive pest
Curtin University research has found farmers making small changes to how they give water to cattle in semi-arid regions could halt the spread of one of Australia's most damaging invasive species—all without disrupting farming ...
Tech Xplore / New technique turns everyday surfaces like walls and desks into touch panels
Augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) headsets let us see the world around us with virtual elements superimposed on top. For example, many modern AR/MR headsets use hand-tracking cameras to detect hand gestures in ...
Medical Xpress / Triglyceride-lowering drug does not affect plaque in arteries at one year in patients with elevated triglycerides: Study
Despite experiencing significant reductions in triglycerides, patients with triglycerides over 150 mg/dL and a high risk of atherosclerosis did not experience any significant change in the amount of non-calcified plaque in ...
Medical Xpress / Culturally tailored food intervention delivers meaningful blood pressure reductions, finds study
Black and Hispanic adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) who received a culturally tailored food-based intervention with dietitian coaching experienced a significant drop in blood pressure compared with those who ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting protein BCL-2 may create a promising pathway to reversing pulmonary fibrosis
Researchers at National Jewish Health and collaborating institutions have uncovered a critical mechanism driving persistent pulmonary fibrosis and identified a promising strategy to reverse it. The recent study published ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: How studying two different viruses can lead to new strategies for more potent antiviral treatments
Beyond both being viruses, HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 don't seem to have a lot in common. HIV-1 is a retrovirus that integrates with its host's DNA for life and can be passed down from mother to child, while SARS-CoV-2 is contagious ...
Phys.org / JWST reveals most distant red galaxy yet at redshift 11.45
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a new red galaxy at a redshift of approximately 11.45. The newfound galaxy, which received designation EGS-z11-R0, turns out to be the most distant ...
Tech Xplore / Thousands of websites are accidentally broadcasting sensitive data, study finds
Researchers have discovered a major security leak hiding in plain sight on the internet that could expose the personal data and financial records of millions of people. In a paper published on the arXiv preprint server, Nurullah ...
Medical Xpress / New biomarker for immunoglobulin A nephropathy identified
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is an autoimmune disease characterized by the deposition of circulating IgA-containing immune complexes (IgA-ICs) in the glomerular mesangium, leading to mesangial cell proliferation, enhanced ...
Medical Xpress / With help from AI, eye images offer window into cardiovascular risk
A new system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess cardiovascular risk based on images of the eye captured during eye exams demonstrated strong correlation with a standard cardiovascular risk assessment, according ...
Phys.org / Liquids can fracture like solids—researchers discover the breaking point
In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple liquid to fracture like ...
Medical Xpress / The meningitis vaccine now sits at the center of two health crises
The UK has recently seen a resurgence of meningococcal B (MenB) disease, with a cluster of cases in Kent described as "unprecedented" by the health secretary, Wes Streeting. As attention turns from the current MenB outbreak ...
