Medical Xpress / Drones and AI take flight to combat mosquito-borne disease
As warming temperatures spread dengue to new regions, Stanford researchers are using AI-powered drones to hunt down hidden mosquito breeding sites. Anyone who has left water standing in a wading pool or empty flower pot knows ...
Medical Xpress / How the microprotein BRICK1 repairs and protects the heart after a heart attack
Every year, more than 200,000 people in Germany suffer a heart attack. This is caused by blocked coronary arteries. As a result, part of the heart muscle is no longer supplied with sufficient blood and oxygen; the tissue ...
Medical Xpress / Sequencing method exposes hidden gaps in immune signaling by tracking RNA and protein together
A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins simultaneously, it reveals cytokine ...
Phys.org / 'Switch' behind flash drought in Puerto Rico uncovered
In Puerto Rico, drought doesn't always arrive slowly. Sometimes, it appears in days. That speed can leave producers scrambling, reservoirs dropping, and communities facing water restrictions before they can react. In a place ...
Phys.org / It takes a village: How cooperative breeding has shaped Lake Tanganyika fish
"It takes a village to raise a child" doesn't apply merely to humans. Many species of mammals, birds, fish, and various invertebrates have evolved complex social care systems known as cooperative breeding. In these animal ...
Medical Xpress / Cell-by-cell analysis offers clues to pregnancy risks
The biological connection between a pregnant woman and her developing baby has been mapped in unprecedented detail by UC San Francisco scientists, revealing new cell types and insights into conditions such as preeclampsia, ...
Phys.org / Phengite identified as key carrier of halogens into Earth's deep mantle
Surface volatiles—chemical substances that easily become gases or fluids at relatively low temperatures and pressures—are transported into Earth through subduction zones, with some being transported into the deep mantle and ...
Phys.org / Taming skyrmions: Atom-thin magnets point to ultra-dense, low-power memory
Data is growing at a staggering pace, pushing charge-based microelectronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to their physical limits. Spintronics—technology that uses electron spin rather than charge—avoids the limits of ...
Medical Xpress / A single enzyme keeps neuroblastoma alive—how to shut it off
The tumor begins before birth. Somewhere in the developing fetus, neural crest cells that should have matured into adrenal tissue or sympathetic ganglia take a wrong turn, and a child is born harboring a malignancy that may ...
Medical Xpress / New study finds a missing link in how the brain regulates appetite
When the stomach is full, how does the brain know to stop eating? Scientists long assumed the answer lies mainly with neurons, the brain's primary signaling cells. But a new study published in the Proceedings of the National ...
Tech Xplore / Latest Anthropic AI model finds cracks in software defenses
Anthropic on Tuesday said its yet-to-be-released artificial intelligence model called Claude Mythos has proven keenly adept at exposing software weaknesses.
Tech Xplore / Explainability is a must for older adults to trust AI, study shows
Voice-activated, conversational artificial intelligence (AI) agents must provide clear explanations for their suggestions, or older adults aren't likely to trust them. That's one of the main findings from a study by AI Caring ...
