Tech Xplore / Reinventing fiber-based pressure sensors with a unique internal structure
Pressure sensors are crucial in many emerging applications, but traditional designs are often bulky or inflexible. In a recent study, researchers from Japan developed a fiber-shaped pressure sensor that overcomes this limitation ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover brain network controlling stress and social behavior in mice
A UCLA study has mapped a critical brain hub in mice that regulates stress responses and social behavior, shedding new light on the neural roots of psychiatric conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression ...
Medical Xpress / 'Spatial emanators' offer yearlong malaria protection as WHO issues new recommendation supporting their use
A relatively new class of insecticide that can be disseminated on something the size of a sheet of paper offers protection for up to a year against mosquitoes that spread malaria, as well as dengue, West Nile, yellow fever, ...
Medical Xpress / Reading for pleasure plummets by 40% in the US
If you love nothing more than devouring a page-turner in your free time, you're becoming a rare breed. Reading for pleasure among adults in the United States has fallen dramatically in the last two decades. A new study from ...
Phys.org / High-performance iron catalyst for fuel cells provides platinum alternative
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), often referred to as "hydrogen power banks," are clean energy devices that generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen with only water as a byproduct.
Phys.org / Enzyme-driven process explains how NeuO selectively stains living neurons, solving a decade-old mystery
The secret behind NeuO (neuronal selective fluorescent probe), which accurately identifies and fluorescently stains neurons only, has finally been unveiled. A research team led by Professor Young-Tae Chang from POSTECH's ...
Phys.org / Diversity of lemurs in Madagascar due to repeated evolutionary bursts, not one-off radiation, study finds
Lemurs are among the best-known representatives of Madagascar's animal kingdom. They make up more than 15% of all primate species living today—even though the island covers less than 1% of Earth's land surface.
Phys.org / A new roommate: Rare shrimp found living in mud shrimp's burrow
The Japanese mud shrimp, Upogebia major, constructs burrows that can reach two meters deep into the sandy shores of East Asia and Eastern Russia. The size and Y-shape of these double-entrance burrows make them appealing to ...
Phys.org / Breaking the code in network theory: Bimodularity reveals direction of influence in complex systems
As summer winds down, many of us in continental Europe are heading back north. The long return journeys from the beaches of southern France, Spain, and Italy once again clog alpine tunnels and Mediterranean coastal routes ...
Tech Xplore / Can large language models figure out the real world? New metric measures AI's predictive power
In the 17th century, German astronomer Johannes Kepler figured out the laws of motion that made it possible to accurately predict where our solar system's planets would appear in the sky as they orbit the sun. But it wasn't ...
Phys.org / Red galaxies provide new insights into the birth of the universe
Images taken with the MIRI infrared camera on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made it possible to observe the first galaxies in long-wavelength infrared light for the first time. Alongside a recent study published ...
Tech Xplore / When AI blurs reality: The rise of hyperreal digital culture
From Bigfoot vlogs to algorithmically created personas, hyperrealistic AI content is redefining the boundaries of digital creators. These influencers are entirely virtual personas created using generative AI tools that simulate ...
