Medical Xpress / Targeting the 'good' arm after stroke can lead to better motor skills
Traditional stroke rehabilitation therapy focuses on restoring strength and movement to the more impaired side of the body, but a new randomized clinical trial has revealed that targeted therapy for the less impaired arm ...
Medical Xpress / Managing long COVID energy levels with a new activity-tracking app
The first study to test a digital tool designed to help people with long COVID manage their energy levels has been developed by a team of researchers. The paper published in Nature Communications is titled "A Digital Platform ...
Tech Xplore / Musk Inc.? Billionaire combines his rocket and AI businesses before an expected IPO this year
Elon Musk is joining his space exploration and artificial intelligence ventures into a single company before what's expected to be a massive initial public offering for the business later this year.
Medical Xpress / Procrastination in adulthood linked to brain development during adolescence
Procrastination, the tendency to unnecessarily delay or put off tasks even if this will have negative consequences, is a common behavior for many people. While occasionally delaying or putting off bothersome tasks is not ...
Phys.org / Lab study suggests longer waves fracture floating ice sheets at lower stress
When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the processes underlying these wave-induced ice fractures and predicting when they will occur could help ...
Medical Xpress / Rethinking longevity: Genes account for 50% of human lifespan variation, study suggests
What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, scientists believed that the heritability of human lifespan was relatively low compared to other human ...
Tech Xplore / Robotaxi pioneer Waymo gets $16 billion injection to accelerate its expansion plans
Robotaxi pioneer Waymo has raised another $16 billion to help fuel its ambition for its fleet of self-driving cars to provide rides throughout the world while other deep-pocketed rival services backed by Tesla and Amazon ...
Phys.org / Cuttlefish use polarized light to create a dramatic mating display invisible to humans
Many organisms leverage showy colors for attracting mates. Because color is a property of light (determined by its wavelength), it is easy for humans to see how these colors are used in animal courting rituals. Less obvious ...
Medical Xpress / Medical AI models need more context to prepare for the clinic: Challenges and potential solutions
Medical artificial intelligence is a hugely appealing concept. In theory, models can analyze vast amounts of information, recognize subtle patterns in data, and are never too tired or busy to provide a response. However, ...
Phys.org / Multi-agent AI and robots automate materials discovery in closed-loop lab system
Traditional processes used to discover new materials are complex, time-consuming, and costly, often requiring years of sustained effort. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated powerful capabilities ...
Phys.org / Signaling output genes shed light on evolutionary crossroads of vertebrates
New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered a crucial piece in the puzzle of how all animals with a spine—including all mammals, fish, reptiles and amphibians—evolved. In a paper published in BMC Biology, ...
Medical Xpress / Mutation map shows how key cancer gene drives tumor growth
Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, which helps regulate ...
