Medical Xpress / UK focus groups find support for sharing health data for AI is conditional
Public support for sharing health data for artificial intelligence (AI) research depends on clear public benefit, strong safeguards, and meaningful consent, according to a new NDORMS study based on in-depth focus groups with ...
Phys.org / Rolling out the carpet for spin qubits with new chip architecture
Researchers at QuTech in Delft, The Netherlands, have developed a new chip architecture that could make it easier to test and scale up quantum processors based on semiconductor spin qubits. The platform, called QARPET (Qubit-Array ...
Phys.org / Silver European eel discovered in Cyprus for the first time
As part of a new study, researchers from Bournemouth University (BU) have discovered European eels, Anguilla anguilla, at the stage of silvering living in the inland waters of Cyprus for the first time. The paper is published ...
Phys.org / Different acceptance of labor migrants: Cross-border commuters vs. foreign residents
The Swiss job market is a popular location for workers from outside the country. At the end of 2024, the Swiss Federal Statistical Office reported about 400,000 cross-border commuters in Switzerland—that is, people who ...
Phys.org / What honey bee brain chemistry tells us about human learning
A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC has for the first time identified specific patterns of brain chemical activity that predict how quickly individual ...
Phys.org / Non-biologic processes don't fully explain Mars organics collected by Curiosity, researchers say
In a new study, researchers say that nonbiological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of organic compounds in a sample collected on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover. The paper is published in ...
Phys.org / Noisy classroom? Study suggests engagement matters more than eliminating background noise
How well we pay attention while learning is influenced not only by external distractions like background noise but also by internal factors such as how interesting we find the material, according to a study recently published ...
Medical Xpress / Climate-friendly diet yields unexpectedly strong nutritional outcomes
That eating plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and legumes is beneficial for health is well known. More surprising, however, is that people who eat in an environmentally-friendly way also display nutritional values that are ...
Medical Xpress / Exercise may train the brain to build endurance via SF1 neuron activity
Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability to run farther and ...
Phys.org / Mira A ejects seven Earth masses, forming a heart-shaped cloud 300 light-years away
Just in time for Valentine's Day, space offers a heart-shaped greeting. The star Mira A, about 300 light-years from Earth, has released material into an expanding cloud of gas and dust resembling a heart. Both the amount ...
Phys.org / DNA-binding proteins from volcanic lakes could improve disease diagnosis
Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The work has been published in Nucleic Acids ...
Medical Xpress / HIV antibody opens up new approaches for vaccine development and combination therapies
An international research team has identified a novel HIV antibody that targets the virus at a particularly vulnerable site and overcomes previous limitations of known antibodies. This study, led by Professor Dr. Florian ...
