Medical Xpress / HERC2 gene's key role in rare neurodevelopmental syndrome deciphered
For years, it has been known that mutations in both copies of the HERC2 gene are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability, features of the autism spectrum ...
Phys.org / NASA head defends Artemis 3 crew of all men
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on Wednesday defended the makeup of the space agency's latest Artemis crew, an all-male group.
Phys.org / Adélie penguins use colony cues to switch foraging sites if their previous trip was unsuccessful
Many animals live in groups. Among seabirds in particular, most species form colonies during the breeding season. Although coloniality entails costs, such as increased competition for food and disease transmission, its repeated ...
Medical Xpress / The frontier of women's health care innovation
JMIR Publications has released a News and Perspectives story on technological innovations in women's health care. In "Bridging the Gender Gap in Health Care Innovation: The Evolution of FemTech," correspondent Jenny Castillo ...
Tech Xplore / NASA robotic tech demonstration will advance prototype gamma-ray detectors
A new type of gamma-ray sensor developed by NASA, called AstroPix, will take part in a robotic arm demonstration on the agency's upcoming Fly Foundational Robots mission, set to launch in late 2027.
Medical Xpress / AI in nursing raises questions about safety, ethics, and human care
As artificial intelligence systems spread through hospitals and clinics, a growing debate is emerging over whether the technology will ultimately strengthen nursing care—or gradually replace parts of it.
Medical Xpress / Augmented reality system could make medical ultrasounds easier to interpret
Interpreting medical ultrasound images is a difficult task, requiring a technician to look at 2D images and mentally arrange them into a 3D representation of what the tissue looks like. To make that job easier, MIT researchers ...
Phys.org / AI doesn't just help us think, it thinks instead of us: What this means for the process of learning
Deep in Book VII of Plato's Republic, Socrates describes prisoners chained inside a cave, mistaking shadows cast on a wall by firelight for reality itself. They name the shadows, debate them and develop expertise about them. ...
Phys.org / How animals use leveling behaviors to put alphas in their place
Inequality is not unique to human groups and societies. Individuals with relatively little power possess a variety of behavioral strategies to counterbalance or regulate power differences. In humans, these strategies include ...
Medical Xpress / Brain aneurysm map reveals cell types tied to rupture risk
A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps explain why some aneurysms burst while others do not and could lead to new ways of predicting and ...
Phys.org / New 3D microscope technology captures high-resolution tissue images at a fraction of the cost
A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes and microscope lenses that could push 3D tissue imaging beyond state-of-the-art systems while drastically ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover a 3.5-billion-year-old asteroid impact on the moon
The first few billion years of Earth's history saw the rise of life, the atmosphere and the oceans. Still, that time is shrouded in mystery: Not many rocks remain that preserve a record of those early iterations of our modern ...
