Medical Xpress / Blood-based DNA signals may help track osteosarcoma in children
Detecting whether osteosarcoma, a rare but aggressive bone cancer that most often affects children and adolescents, has returned or spread remains a major challenge for patients and doctors. Blood-based biomarkers, which ...
Phys.org / Young stars dim quickly in their X-ray output, potentially benefiting orbiting planets
Scientists have found that young stellar cousins of our sun are calming down and dimming more quickly in their X-ray output than previously thought, according to a new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. A paper ...
Tech Xplore / Electric vehicles could be key to more efficient home energy use
An Australian study has found that electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with vehicle-to-home (V2H) technology can significantly reduce household electricity costs and lessen the need for large, costly home battery systems. Researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Computational 'time machine' shows solar and wind power on track for 2°C target, but not for 1.5°C
Wind and solar power have grown faster than almost anyone predicted, but projecting their future expansion remains surprisingly difficult. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed what they ...
Phys.org / Study challenges a site that's key to how humans got to the Americas
For decades, the strongest evidence for the earliest human settlement in the Americas came from a site in Chile called Monte Verde.
Medical Xpress / Diagnosing dementia: Neuroimaging technique could speed detection
Yale School of Medicine (YSM) researchers have tested a new and potentially more sensitive neuroimaging tool for diagnosing behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). They reported their findings on April 9 in the ...
Phys.org / Mirror-positioning method could make quantum gravity tests possible
In quantum physics, objects can exist in multiple states at the same time—a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, where a particle does not have a single definite value of position or momentum until it is measured. A ...
Tech Xplore / Improved AI method enables reliable logical conclusions
Weighing up arguments, drawing logical conclusions and deriving a clearly correct answer—such tasks have so far presented artificial intelligence with a number of hurdles. When it comes to complex problems, computing a logically ...
Phys.org / The once-theoretical skyrmion could unlock supercomputing memory
When looking to the future of information technology, researchers have pinpointed a once-theoretical particle-like structure: the skyrmion. Magnetic skyrmions are very stable structures found on micromagnetic materials that ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny cameras in earbuds let users talk with AI about what they see
University of Washington researchers developed the first system that incorporates tiny cameras in off-the-shelf wireless earbuds to allow users to talk with an AI model about the scene in front of them. For instance, a user ...
Medical Xpress / Exclusive breastfeeding linked to long-term changes in marks on DNA, found in blood
Babies who are exclusively breastfed for at least three months carry markers in their blood that differ from babies who are not breastfed. The finding comes from the largest study of its kind, conducted across an international ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown mini-brains shed light on childhood epilepsy
Why does the same genetic mutation cause a severe brain malformation in some patients but not in others? Researchers from the MOSAIC team at the Paris Brain Institute have developed mosaic human cortical organoids carrying ...
