Phys.org / Using AI to predict earthquakes: Machine learning detects subtle changes before lab-scale fault failures
Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to forebode earthquakes are not supported by empirical evidence. As these factors often occur ...
Phys.org / A toxin with a useful twist: Diphtheria fragment merges lipid vesicles at neutral pH
Researchers from the SNI network have discovered a novel way to fuse lipid vesicles at neutral pH. By harnessing a fragment of the diphtheria toxin, the team achieved vesicle membrane fusion without the need for pre-treatment ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop autonomous artificial intelligence that transforms resilience and discovery in manufacturing
Research led by Rutgers engineers has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) can solve two of the biggest challenges in manufacturing.
Medical Xpress / Wearable health technology brings research closer to people
At the University of Oulu in Finland, researchers are exploring new ways to utilize microwave technology in monitoring and assessing health conditions. The results of experiments conducted with realistic models are promising.
Phys.org / Groundwater, a missing link in coastal carbon storage
As global efforts intensify around restoring coastal wetlands to curb climate change, a new JCU-led study published in Reviews of Geophysics is the first to link wetland restoration and carbon cycling with groundwater dynamics, ...
Medical Xpress / Status of rural health care, hospitals probed in study
New research from The University of Texas at Arlington examines the widening health care gap between rural and urban communities and how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Rural Emergency Hospital (REH) program, ...
Phys.org / Scientists use Icelandic mudrocks to prepare for Mars sample analysis
To say that a trip from Earth to Mars is merely a long one would be a massive understatement. On July 30, 2020, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent its Mars rover "Perseverance" atop an Atlas ...
Medical Xpress / A 'magic bullet' for polycystic kidney disease in the making
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a debilitating hereditary condition in which fluid-filled sacs form and proliferate in the kidneys. Over time, the painful, growing cysts rob the organs of their function, often leading ...
