Medical Xpress / Soft, sticky, stretchable biosensors can pick up signals through hair, sweat, bending and stretching
Biosensors have revolutionized home health care over the past two decades. Devices like wearable heart rate and blood glucose monitors are giving people with chronic health conditions the information and assurance they need ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printable material can heal the body, build better robots and recover critical minerals
A new type of 3D-printable material developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin mimics human tissue's ability to sort and filter, allowing certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out. This ...
Medical Xpress / How brain cells restore healthy growth and connections after a disease-causing genetic deletion
Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion. Instead of repairing the ...
Medical Xpress / Support from animals may feel stronger for women and those spending more time with them
In a study of Swiss adults, women and people who spent more time with a pet or another animal to which they might feel close reported feeling more attached to the animal and receiving more socioemotional support from it. ...

Lithium in drinking water is a widespread and persistent source of human exposure across Tribal communities in the Western United States, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. ...
Phys.org / Cameras attached to whale sharks capture krill chases never witnessed before
Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus)—the world's biggest fish—are one of the most charismatic marine species. They connect with the hearts of anyone lucky enough to encounter them, making people deeply curious about their lives ...
Phys.org / Scientists pinpoint where cells first begin copying DNA
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and collaborators have uncovered one of the earliest steps in DNA replication: the moment a cell first opens its DNA to begin making a copy of its genome. The findings, ...
Medical Xpress / Bloodstream-delivered cell therapy slows muscle decline in young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, trial finds
A cell therapy called deramiocel could slow muscle weakening in boys and young men with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and may also slow heart damage in those who already have heart muscle disease, a Phase III ...
Medical Xpress / The stomach helps the brain form memories—this is how it may work
When French writer Marcel Proust famously recalled his childhood from the taste of a Madeleine cookie, his stomach may have done some of the work. We generally associate our memories almost exclusively with the brain, which ...
Phys.org / One LED produces four stable colors at room temperature
Full-color displays normally require separate red, green and blue light emitters. A team from the University of Osaka and Ritsumeikan University has demonstrated another approach: a single light-emitting layer that produces ...
Phys.org / Mammoth bones found on parched bed of Danube in Bulgaria
Sinking water levels in the Danube River have unveiled mammoth bones in Bulgaria and could lead to further discoveries, a local museum director told AFP on Thursday.
Phys.org / Seven possible quasar lenses emerge from AI scan of 800,000 DESI objects
Quasars, distant cores of galaxies powered by supermassive black holes, are among the most luminous objects in the universe. While not uncommon, their brightness can make it difficult to accurately measure the galaxies they ...
