Phys.org / Summers are getting longer each year, and it isn't all fun and games
Do you have the sense that summers feel different than when you were younger? That they start earlier, arrive quickly and remain intense until the fall? If you live in the mid-latitudes of either the Northern or Southern ...
Medical Xpress / AI model predicts 10-year stroke risk based on routine cardiology test
A research team co-led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has developed and validated an artificial intelligence model, known as ECG2Stroke, that can predict the risk of a ...
Phys.org / New AI system classifies India rainfall better, cutting false alarms and missed heavy rain
AI can predict rainfall intensity better than several widely used forecasting models in tests using historical weather data from India. The new model reported in the International Journal of Mobile Communications shows that ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers solve longstanding problem in measuring semiconductor defects
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and Auburn University have developed a new method to more accurately detect atomic-scale defects in electronic materials, an advance that could help improve technologies ranging ...
Medical Xpress / Not just an energy drink: National study finds kratom use is rising
A national study of kratom use in the U.S. found rising popularity among young adults, and it is linked to addiction and mental health issues, according to new research from the University of Michigan and Texas State University. ...
Medical Xpress / New rules for used prosthetic feet could curb 'medical equipment graveyards'
Researchers have proposed new standards into the decades-old prosthetic donations market, improving the quality of lower limb prosthetic feet by two-thirds—a major quality of life boost for recipients.
Phys.org / Method for measuring energy amounts less than a trillionth of a billionth of a joule could boost quantum computing
The fundamentals of quantum mechanics are minuscule. Scientists constantly home in on finer resolutions to measure, quantify, and control these fundamentals, like photons that carry light and have no mass unless they are ...
Tech Xplore / Copper's biggest rival yet? New carbon nanotube fibers could reshape wiring for EVs, drones and aircraft
Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminum. The result, published in Science, is a breakthrough ...
Phys.org / How much is a bat worth? Their deaths cost taxpayers and the wider economy
Most Americans tend to think about bats only around Halloween, but the U.S. economy benefits from these furry flying mammals every day.
Medical Xpress / Urine nanosensor tracks lung cancer signals and early fibrosis, moving toward clinical trials
A urine test developed by scientists at the University of Cambridge has moved a step closer to clinical use following new findings revealing it could do more than first thought. Originally designed to detect early signs of ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-designed molecule offers hope for celiac disease sufferers
A research project led by the Institute for Research in Nutrition and Food Safety (INSA) and the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences at the University of Barcelona, together with the Molecular Biology Institute of Barcelona ...
Phys.org / Fungus-powered farming delivers higher yields and better-tasting crops, says study
Can we have higher yields and better taste? Using a natural extract from the fungus Pseudozyma aphidis, this method improves the firmness and natural sugar content of crops like tomatoes and melons while significantly boosting ...
