Tech Xplore / Scientists camouflage heart rate from invasive radar-based surveillance
It's a typical workday and you sign onto your computer. Unbeknownst to you, a high-frequency sensing system embedded in your work device is now tracking your heart rate, allowing your employer to monitor your breaks, engagement, ...
Tech Xplore / Why metal microstructures matter: AI pinpoints stress hotspots to guide safer designs
Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations of specific patterns ...
Medical Xpress / Can medical AI lie? Large study maps how LLMs handle health misinformation
Medical artificial intelligence (AI) is often described as a way to make patient care safer by helping clinicians manage information. A new study by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators confronts ...
Medical Xpress / Shining new light on how cytokines manage immune response
Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the first time, illuminates the missing half of how the immune system uses molecules called cytokines to ...
Dialog / Scientists advance multi-purpose photocatalyst for clean hydrogen production and agricultural pollutant degradation
Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic pollutants from water? That question shaped our recent work with γ-In2S3, a semiconductor that has ...
Medical Xpress / Metabolic clues emerge from a molecular map of Alzheimer's disease
Rice University scientists have developed the first complete, label-free molecular atlas of the Alzheimer's brain in an animal model. The findings help advance understanding of Alzheimer's onset and progression, a disease ...
Phys.org / Collaboration between universities and hospitals intensifies in times of crisis, finds study
Economic and public health conditions influence universities' research priorities. A study led by INGENIO, a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Universitat Politècnica de València ...
Medical Xpress / Inactivity linked to up to 10% of type 2 diabetes complications
A lack of exercise drives a good portion of the health problems faced by people with type 2 diabetes, a new study says.
Phys.org / What's in a name? Information structure parallels discovered across cultures—with repercussions for Asian names
First names in Western countries today are more diverse than they were before early modern states evolved. This difference started to emerge in the 17th century in response to a change that took place in the naming system ...
Phys.org / New nanoparticles remove melanoma tumors in mice with low-power near-infrared laser
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser. After the systemically administered nanoparticles ...
Phys.org / Study of 400 children in five societies finds culture shapes how kids cooperate
How do children learn to cooperate with others? A new cross-cultural study suggests that the answer depends less on universal rules and more on the social norms surrounding the child.
Phys.org / Root microbes could help oak trees adapt to drought
Microbes could help oak trees cope with environmental change. Publishing in Cell Host & Microbe, a study observing oaks growing in a natural woodland found that the trees' above- and below-ground microbiomes were resilient ...
