Phys.org / Canada's Labrador Shelf preserves climate records once thought erased by ice
The Labrador Shelf is a shallow marine area on the margin of the Labrador Sea in the North Atlantic off the east coast of Canada. During the last ice age, this region was covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet, one of the largest ...
Medical Xpress / Smart walker boosts walking efficiency and dynamic balance in older adults
Researchers have evaluated a novel smart wheeled walker designed to enhance mobility and safety for aging populations. Published in JMIR Aging, the randomized crossover trial revealed that the smart wheeled walker significantly ...
Tech Xplore / Your smartwatch may not be as smart as you think
Smartwatches can provide useful health information, but many of those numbers are algorithmic estimates rather than direct measurements of the body, and some outputs are more accurate than others, a new University of Michigan ...
Tech Xplore / New design framework creates self-folding paper wearable sensors tailored to body shapes
Wearable sensors, such as wristbands, rings and adhesive patches, are becoming increasingly common for health care monitoring, fitness tracking and human-machine interaction. While most wearable devices are made from flexible ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop precise new method to analyze secretions from individual salmon lice
A University of Stirling study could pave the way for more efficient study of the secretions that salmon lice use to avoid fish defenses, potentially enabling the development of new strategies to protect salmon from infestations.
Phys.org / Diamond clock combines two signals to cut temperature-driven drift
Despite all the advertisements for engagement rings and necklace gifts, natural diamonds are imperfect. Their carbon atoms are arranged in a cubic lattice, but they nonetheless contain several types of crystallographic defects ...
Medical Xpress / Your smartwatch may be lying to you about how many calories you burned
If you're depending on your smartwatch to tell you the truth about how many calories you burned during a workout—well, don't.
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover promising new target for treating high blood pressure
University of Missouri researchers are studying high blood pressure, one of the world's deadliest health threats. Recently, they identified a protein that contributes to arterial stiffening and inflammation, opening the door ...
Tech Xplore / Digital brain twins hinge on what living brains reveal, not computing power alone
Researchers from the University of Warwick report that how faithfully we can build a "digital twin" of a human brain depends not only on computing power but fundamentally on how much of the living brain we can measure, validate ...
Tech Xplore / Europe bids to be a robot superpower like the US, China
AI-powered robots briefly took over the European Parliament this week to showcase the continent's creators as the bloc races to compete in a field dominated by China and the United States.
Medical Xpress / Studies reveal how instability may shape infant attention, brain activity and emotional regulation
A baby's brain is always listening, watching and learning—even when the world around it is chaotic and makes no sense.
Phys.org / Nature's color palette explains why everything we see is a mix of red, yellow, green and blue
Biologists and linguists alike have long puzzled over the universal human tendency to see and name colors as a combination of four "pure" hues—red, yellow, green and blue.
