Medical Xpress / Real-world MRI data confirm shared brain signatures of mental health disorders
Over 1 billion people worldwide are living with one or more mental health disorders that affect their mood, thinking processes and behavior, impacting their daily functioning to varying degrees. Identifying variations in ...
Phys.org / How resilient fungus might survive Mars and space
Scientists have long known that fungi are resilient, but a new study suggests that some strains might survive every step of the long, brutal trip to Mars. In a paper published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Handle with care: Soft robot gripper picks ripe fruit without bruising
When assessing the ripeness of fruit, sight and smell can tell you a lot, but the best indicator is often how the fruit feels. Cornell researchers used stretchable fiber-optic sensors to create a soft robot gripper that can ...
Phys.org / Stem cell embryo model grows yolk sac without hypoblasts or gene editing
For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic manipulation. The models ...
Medical Xpress / Preschool children born with heart defects have greater risk of developing behavioral problems, study suggests
Congenital heart disease (CHD), which is a problem with how the heart forms before birth—occurs in approximately 1% of newborns. It has previously been shown that school-age children, adolescents, and young adults with CHD ...
Phys.org / Prototype thermal memory stores heat states with tiny voltages for days
Heat is a ubiquitous form of energy that, unlike others, is notoriously difficult to store due to its natural tendency to dissipate. While this property is essential for phenomena like solar energy reaching Earth, it also ...
Phys.org / Plastic texturing kills viruses when they land
Researchers have developed a thin plastic film that tears apart viruses on contact, offering a promising new way to keep high-touch surfaces such as smartphones and hospital equipment from spreading disease. The innovation ...
Medical Xpress / Cantaloupes recalled in four states due to Salmonella risk
Health officials in some states are warning shoppers to avoid certain cantaloupes amid concerns that they may carry Salmonella.
Phys.org / Connected habitats help frogs keep protective microbes and curb deadly fungus
Maintaining connections between natural habitats may support beneficial microbes that help wildlife defend against disease. In a new study of tropical amphibians, a team led by Penn State biologists found that amphibians ...
Medical Xpress / Canadian nephrologist shares common-sense, patient-centered solutions to transplant inequities

Following the recent successful test flight of NASA's Artemis II mission around the moon, NASA rolled out the core stage, or the largest section, of the agency's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket that will launch the crewed ...
Medical Xpress / A new skin-hugging heart monitor material could make long-term ECG tracking far more comfortable
Researchers have created heart monitoring sensors that conform to the skin, are comfortable, and can be worn while people are moving. With performance comparable to sensors already on the market, the new technology can be ...
