Phys.org / Personalized social robots can boost children's reading confidence and engagement
Social robots can be a non-threatening way for children to improve their reading skills, researchers say.
Medical Xpress / Cerebrospinal fluid motion in the brain captured in remarkable detail
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions include protecting parts of the nervous system, delivering nutrients and removing metabolic waste.
Medical Xpress / Automated system enables real-time malignancy grading of prostate tumors
The precise identification of tumor boundaries during radical prostatectomy remains a major clinical challenge. As positive surgical margins occur in 15–40% of prostate cancer cases, the risk of postoperative recurrence ...
Medical Xpress / Certain immune cell subtypes drive lupus, study finds
Detailed mapping of CD4⁺ T cells from children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has revealed distinct immune cell subsets with likely roles in disease pathogenesis, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine ...
Phys.org / Can narrating immigrants' pain and tragedy reduce perceived threat to Muslim immigrants in the US?
US media and politicians often celebrate beautiful stories of immigrants arriving in America, finding a new home, and thriving in the land of opportunity.
Medical Xpress / Therapeutic climbing lifts mood and sharpens focus for inpatients with depression, anxiety and OCD
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and Schoen Clinic Roseneck report that structured therapeutic climbing sessions were experienced as emotionally lifting, mentally focusing, socially connecting, and physically strengthening ...
Tech Xplore / Student maps where cyclists really go—and why it matters for city planning
A study co-authored by UBC Okanagan Associate Professor Dr. Mahmudur Fatmi and doctoral student Bijoy Saha uses Okanagan travel-diary data to model destination choices across full bike "tours."
Tech Xplore / New receiver frontend system achieves 108 Gb/s data rate using PAM-8 signals
High-voltage, higher-order PAM-8 signals are essential to achieve data rates beyond 100 Gb/s, requiring highly linear receivers to maintain excellent signal-to-noise ratios.
Phys.org / 'Chocolate-flavored' honey created using cocoa bean shells
A group of researchers from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, developed a product made from native bee honey and cocoa bean shells that can be consumed directly or used as an ingredient ...

A study co-led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that most of the benefits of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer occur within the first 9 to 12 months. Extending ...
Phys.org / Mirror symmetry prompts ultralow magnetic damping in 2D van der Waals ferromagnets
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are thin and magnetic materials in which molecules or layers are held together by weak attractive forces known as vdW forces. These materials have proved to be promising ...
Phys.org / Bright squeezed vacuum reveals hidden quantum effects in strong-field physics
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.
