Medical Xpress / How a simple blood test could help detect heart damage during breast cancer treatment
Modern breast cancer screening and treatment have transformed survival. Many women now live long and healthy lives after diagnosis, thanks to increasingly effective chemotherapy and targeted therapies: medicines designed ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Tracing the origins of supermassive black holes
Sarah Pappert is a Ph.D. candidate in astrophysics at the TUM School of Natural Sciences and conducts research at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics. She is supervised by Prof. Dr. Reinhard Genzel and Prof. ...
Phys.org / Quantum friction causes light to slow down nanoworld movements
A research team in Bochum, Germany has unexpectedly found that light can slow down movements in the nanoworld. This is due to quantum friction, a phenomenon that has been poorly understood until now. The findings are published ...
Phys.org / A new kind of entanglement helps quantum sensors tune out noise
In a quest to build the most accurate quantum sensors in the world, scientists are constantly improving their performance, making them more precise, more stable and more reliable. But eventually, physical constraints will ...
Phys.org / AI tracks missing hydrogen atoms in crystals with 97% success rate
Artificial intelligence is often used to generate images. In research, specialized AI models are used for scientific applications—for example, to predict the positions of atoms in materials. The MatterGen model developed ...
Phys.org / Physicists introduce phase contrast to electron microscopy, delivering sharper images of our body's tiniest proteins
Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside cells that had previously ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify brain 'entrapment' patterns associated with depression
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified distinctive patterns in how the brain transitions between activity states in people with depression, providing new insight into why depressive symptoms ...
Phys.org / What happens to microplastics when swallowed? In earthworms, they do not leave the digestive tract
Globally, humanity now produces a staggering 450 million tonnes of plastic every year. From food and drink containers to cosmetics packaging, sewage pipes, window frames and polyester clothing, we use plastics in almost every ...
Medical Xpress / Glucosamine supplements may speed memory loss from Alzheimer's, new research shows
People with Alzheimer's disease who took the common supplement glucosamine were 25% more likely to die within five years than those who didn't. That's the key finding of a new study that my colleagues and I published in the ...
Tech Xplore / This specially-designed jacket pulls drinking water from thin air
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a jacket that harvests drinking water directly from the air. The technology could benefit anyone who spends a lot of time in areas without easy access to drinking ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds exercise decreases among people taking GLP-1 medication
Adults with obesity who lost weight with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist medications significantly decreased their physical activity, which is essential to protect muscle, according to a study presented at ...
Phys.org / AI fast-forwards molecular simulations by 10,000-fold
A new AI model has become so good at predicting how molecules evolve over time that, in the future, it could speed up the costly and time-consuming process of testing new drugs. In the long term, this technology could facilitate ...
