Medical Xpress / Insufficient sleep associated with decreased life expectancy
A good night's sleep is more than a luxury: New research from Oregon Health & Science University suggests that insufficient sleep may shorten your life. The study is published in the journal SLEEP Advances.
Phys.org / Wild fish show individual 'early bird' and 'night owl' activity patterns
Internal clocks can tick very differently. While some people are most productive in the morning, others are only active later in the day or at night. This phenomenon is known in science and medicine as chronotype.
Tech Xplore / New fiber-weaving method boosts dry battery electrode strength and performance
A joint research team has successfully developed a new dry-process manufacturing technology for secondary battery electrodes that overcomes the limitations of conventional electrode fabrication processes. The work is published ...
Medical Xpress / Neuroscientists develop human brain-wave technology that can accelerate understanding of Alzheimer's
Houston Methodist neuroscientists have developed a first-of-its-kind method to rapidly produce synchronized, human brain wave-like activity in lab-grown neural networks that can communicate over long distances. This innovation ...
Tech Xplore / Aerial microrobot can fly as fast as a bumblebee
In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots ...
Medical Xpress / AI foundation model addresses brain signal labeling shortage
A research team led by Dr. Jinung An of the Division of Intelligent Robotics at DGIST has developed a new AI foundation model that creatively solved the problem of the "label data shortage," regarded as the biggest challenge ...
