A 40-year-old woman in Pennsylvania has died of measles, authorities said Sunday, bringing this year's death toll from the highly contagious, preventable disease to three amid declining vaccination rates.
Phys.org / Families' interest in their kids' education is falling around the globe as scores drop, test shows
Families' interest in their kids' education is falling in many high-income countries as school systems struggle with plunging test scores, according to newly released results from a standardized test taken by 15-year-olds ...
Medical Xpress / Stress hormone timing creates a different kind of obesity, study suggests
Obesity caused by disrupted stress-hormone rhythms is metabolically very different from obesity caused by a high-fat diet, according to a new preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The researchers found ...
Medical Xpress / Nasal spray protects neurons and memory in Alzheimer's mouse model
A nasal spray containing vesicles naturally released by cells may work against Alzheimer's. This is the promise of a study conducted by researchers at the Università Cattolica, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli ...
Phys.org / 'White graphene' reshaped at the atomic scale with tailor-made nanopores
A research team at the University of Vienna led by physicist Jani Kotakoski demonstrates how the shape of nanopores in hexagonal boron nitride—the electrically insulating counterpart to graphene, also known as "white graphene"—can ...
Medical Xpress / Novel immunotherapy leads to complete regression of chemotherapy-resistant liver cancer in 3-year-old
A new report in the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital and Seattle Children's describes a complete regression of hepatoblastoma, the most common pediatric ...
Phys.org / Electrochemical system extracts pure hydrogen from ammonia at substantially lower temperatures
As a liquid that is easily stored and transported, ammonia (NH3) is an attractive carrier for hydrogen, which is used in fuel cells, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing and other applications. However, breaking ...
Phys.org / Tiny cyanobacteria may be the secret heroes of ocean carbon sequestration
A process known as the biological carbon pump (BCP) moves organic carbon from near the ocean's surface to the ocean floor. That carbon often stays there for hundreds or thousands of years, making the BCP a primary source ...
Phys.org / First Denisovan forearm bone discovered in southwest China
Scientists have discovered various Denisovan remains in Southwest China dating to the late Middle Pleistocene, including the first Denisovan radius—one of two long bones in the forearm.
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of depression risk factors overlap with physical illnesses, especially gut disease
QIMR Berghofer researchers have identified a strong genetic link between gut-related health conditions and depression in a study offering new insights into why physical illnesses often accompany the mental health condition.
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired computing: Using noise to regulate information flow in neural networks
Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random "noise"—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can ...
Tech Xplore / AI could soon infer human intent by sensing "that's not what I meant" through neural feedback
A future in which AI can recognize a person's unspoken "that's not what I meant" response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects ...
