Medical Xpress / Higher tubular phosphate levels linked to faster five-year kidney decline
Excessive phosphate loading within the proximal tubular lumen has been proposed as a key mechanism driving progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through calcium phosphate microcrystallopathy. Researchers at the University ...
Phys.org / More activity means less response in active materials
For some time, researchers have assumed that solid materials could gain more useful properties by making their microscopic components more active. Now, a team led by Jack Binysh at the University of Amsterdam has found that ...
Tech Xplore / How everyday devices could train AI faster while keeping personal data on-device
A new method developed by MIT researchers can accelerate a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence training method by about 81%. This advance could enable a wider array of resource-constrained edge devices, like sensors ...
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug may restore movement after stroke
Every stroke begins with a sudden interruption of blood flow in the brain. But what happens afterward—why neurons continue to lose function and die over the following days—has remained one of the most important unanswered ...
Tech Xplore / Solar photoreforming turns plastic waste into clean fuel at low temperatures
Scientists are advancing a promising solution to two of the world's biggest challenges—plastic pollution and clean energy—by transforming waste plastics into valuable fuels using sunlight.
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Why feeling sick may be important for surviving infection
Symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, altered sleep, and social withdrawal are often treated as inconvenient side effects of infection. While some scientists have suggested that they may serve a protective function, ...
Medical Xpress / Why squishy toys feel so good: What the NeeDoh craze reveals about brain and sensory needs
NeeDoh is the latest squishy sensory toy to go viral. Social media is reporting how these blobs of gel are flying off the shelves, and are in short supply.
Tech Xplore / Evolvable AI: Are we on the brink of the next major evolutionary transition?
What happens when natural selection, the most powerful process driving change in the living world, shapes artificial intelligence (AI), perhaps the most potent technology humanity has invented to date?
Medical Xpress / Medicine faces an AI reckoning: What happens when machines seem more empathetic than doctors?
A new perspective published in JAMA challenges the growing narrative that artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to replace physicians, arguing instead that the technology exposes deeper structural failures in modern health ...
Medical Xpress / Medical AI is moving faster than safety checks, experts warn
Flinders University experts are warning that artificial intelligence (AI) must be carefully evaluated and governed before it is adopted widely in health care, saying rapid advances do not automatically translate into safe ...
Medical Xpress / Nerves in skin can slow melanoma growth
Nerve fibers within melanomas can slow their growth, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The findings help clarify the emerging field of cancer neuroscience and may inform future therapeutic ...
Phys.org / XXP instrument back online, marking a key milestone in high-energy upgrade to SLAC's X-ray laser
XPP, the X-ray Pump Probe instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), is back online and welcoming researchers after a complete rebuild. The overhaul has readied XPP for the significant increase in X-ray output ...
