Phys.org / 3D-printed 'plug' links fiber optics to photonic chips with low loss
Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as electronic components via a "plug." Their development could serve as the basis for fast and cost-effective ...
Phys.org / Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique
Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very different.

Medical Xpress / Exploring why people with autism may be more likely to get Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the University of Missouri may have uncovered a clue explaining why young adults with autism are roughly six times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease later in life. In a recent study, Mizzou researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop next-generation transparent electrode without rare metal indium
A joint research team led by Professors Han-Ki Kim and Bo Ram Lee from Sungkyunkwan University's School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering has developed a next-generation transparent electrode technology that completely ...
Tech Xplore / TweetyBERT parses canary songs to better understand how brains learn language
A new machine learning model, TweetyBERT, automatically segments and classifies canary vocalizations with expert-level accuracy, offering a scalable platform for neuroscience, providing insights into the neural basis of how ...
Tech Xplore / Apple's 'big week' launches a pair of $599 devices aimed at budget buyers
Apple CEO Tim Cook promised a "big week" of product announcements has seen the introduction of a new budget-friendly iPhone trim, an entry-level MacBook tier, updated iPad Air models, refreshed monitors and higher-end chipsets. ...
Medical Xpress / Review of US measles elimination status delayed until November
An expected review of the United States' measles elimination status has been postponed by seven months.
Phys.org / Dissolvable hydrogel could enable personalized bone implants
Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together. Implants often consist ...
Medical Xpress / Common anticholinergic medicines may raise cardiovascular risk, large study suggests
People who use drugs with anticholinergic effects, including certain antidepressants, drugs for urinary incontinence and common antihistamines, are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, according to a new study ...
Phys.org / When unpaid cooking, cleaning and child care get a dollar value, income inequality in the US shrinks
When economists track inequality, they typically focus on income and spending.
