Tech Xplore / New drones provide first-person thrill to Olympic coverage
Whether chasing skiers as they fly down the mountain or tracking the luge as it tears around bends, new drone-mounted cameras are offering Winter Olympics viewers a wild ride.
Phys.org / Why some forests unlock more soil phosphorus: Elevation, soil pH and calcium stand out
Phosphorus is essential for plant growth and ecosystem productivity. In many natural forests, plants rely on soil microbes to release bioavailable phosphorus from organic matter. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme ...
Phys.org / Most of Hawaii's birds contribute to avian malaria transmission, study finds
New research on avian malaria, which has decimated Hawaii's beloved birds, explains how non-native birds play a key role in transmission and contribute to the widespread distribution of the disease. This disease threatens ...
Tech Xplore / AI-guided micromachining advances next-generation biocompatible titanium alloys
Researchers have developed a new machine-learning-assisted approach to optimize micro-electro-discharge machining (µ-EDM) of a next-generation biocompatible titanium alloy, potentially improving the manufacturing of advanced ...
Phys.org / Webb unveils nature of distant ultraviolet-luminous galaxy CEERS2-588
Astronomers from the University of Tokyo in Japan and elsewhere have employed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a distant ultraviolet-luminous galaxy known as CEERS2-588. Results of the observational campaign, ...
Tech Xplore / An assistive robot learns to set and clear the table by observing humans
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new methodology for a robot to learn how to move its arms autonomously by combining a type of observational learning with intercommunication between ...
Medical Xpress / How chronic inflammation traps white blood cells in hybrid states and blocks healing
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have uncovered how chronic inflammation disrupts the immune system's ability to heal the body, offering new insight into diseases associated with inflammation ...
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed brain models could improve medical research and training
University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to mechanical forces and electromagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Nonablative radiofrequency may improve sexual function in postmenopausal women
Hormone declines during menopause can cause genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), a cluster of vulvovaginal and urinary symptoms that can significantly impair a woman's quality of life. Local estrogen therapy is effective ...
Phys.org / Novel nanosheets boost clot clearing while limiting systemic bleeding
Thrombotic disorders—such as ischemic stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis—are principal contributors to global mortality. However, conventional thrombolytic therapies are often constrained ...
Phys.org / Greece's Cycladic islands swept up in concrete fever
On the sloping shoreline of the Greek Aegean island of Milos, a vast construction site has left a gaping wound into the island's trademark volcanic rock.
Phys.org / Management practices can enhance soil microbiome functions in plant defense
The soil microbiome is critical for the ecosystem, and agricultural practices that promote microbial diversity can support plant health and help protect against pests. But it is unclear which practices are most beneficial, ...
