Tech Xplore / How AI can become more transparent and reliable
When artificial intelligence is used to support or make important decisions in areas such as health care and public administration, it becomes crucial to understand how these systems arrive at their conclusions. A new doctoral ...
Phys.org / Embryonic tissues can behave like fluids or solids to reshape cell fate signals
Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize themselves following incredibly precise patterns, while remaining flexible and robust. Scientists ...
Phys.org / 8 out of 10 northern fulmar seabirds have plastic in their stomachs, finds study
Plastic pollution is widespread in the world's oceans. A new study of northern fulmars from the North Atlantic shows that plastic pollution is also common in northern marine areas. The research is published in the journal ...
Medical Xpress / Millions on Medicaid may soon have to prove they're working to keep coverage
The Trump administration has published new rules on who can qualify for Medicaid coverage, including requirements that many recipients work or attend school.
Phys.org / Predicting physics without parameter tuning: A faster computational approach
Numerical simulations in physics often require estimating a multitude of parameters, making the process computationally expensive and complex. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have introduced a new method called the multiparameter ...
Phys.org / 'Mini-Neptune' exoplanets may have smoggy atmospheres similar to diesel exhaust
The astronauts circling Earth on the Artemis mission sent back beautiful clear photos of the continents, clouds, and oceans. But we might be the exception. Many planets in the universe may be hazed in clouds of soot, according ...
Medical Xpress / Life-changing benefits of hydroxyurea for sickle cell anemia affirmed by 10-year study
Fewer serious complications. Fewer hospitalizations and blood transfusions. Better growth and development. And a markedly lower risk of death from the complications of sickle cell anemia.
Medical Xpress / Breaking up is hard, but how you do it might make moving on easier
Breaking up is hard. Are there certain behaviors or communication techniques that could result in ex-partners feeling better post-break? Researchers from the University of Ottawa's Relationships and Couple Health (REACH) ...
Medical Xpress / Abortion hotline use soared before and after Dobbs, study finds
A study of more than 16,000 people who sought help from a nationwide abortion and miscarriage hotline has found that demand for confidential clinical support surged both before and after the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ...
Tech Xplore / AI brings object-level vision prosthetics closer to reality
EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind. The research, from the NeuroAI Lab of Martin Schrimpf, part of EPFL's Schools ...
Phys.org / Clean drinking water gaps linked to hunger and unsafe food worldwide
A new global study has found that people without access to clean drinking water are significantly more likely to experience food insecurity and food safety threats, underscoring the urgent need for coordinated global action ...
Medical Xpress / New RNA sequencing method reveals hidden layer of immune system control
Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune cells to respond rapidly to infections. Using advanced long-read RNA sequencing, the team shows that ...
