Medical Xpress / Symptom-based approach treats opioid withdrawal in newborns with minimal drug exposure
A clinical study shows that a symptom-based treatment for babies with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS)—a highly prevalent condition wherein opioid exposure during pregnancy leads to withdrawal after birth—could ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop AI tool to assess lung cancer surgery complication risk
Researchers from the University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center are developing an artificial intelligence tool to help surgeons better identify lung cancer patients at risk for postoperative complications. ...
Medical Xpress / Why working out hungover in the heat may be risky: Inflammation may temporarily rise and increase risk of heat illness
Drinking alcohol the night before physical labor or exercising in the heat causes inflammation in the body to rise and may increase the risk of heat-related illness. Researchers will present their findings at the 2026 American ...
Phys.org / Laser bursts flip nanoscale magnetic vortices at blistering speeds, opening a path to brain-like spintronics
Spintronics are devices that operate leveraging the spin, an intrinsic form of angular momentum, of electrons. The ability to switch magnetic states is central to the functioning of these devices, as it ultimately allows ...
Tech Xplore / Study uncovers why pedestrian deaths continue to rise in the US
Vision Zero begins with a simple but powerful premise: No loss of life on the transportation system is acceptable. Despite the ambitious nature of this goal, the United States has made little meaningful progress toward its ...
Phys.org / Microfluidic device tracks cell 'squishiness' faster and more reliably than standard methods
Researchers from Brown University and their collaborators have developed a new way to measure the properties of cells—an important development, they say, because accurate measurements of changes in cell elasticity can be ...
Tech Xplore / EV drivers' habits uncover why Britain needs region-specific public charging plans
As more UK drivers switch to electric vehicles (EVs), experts at the University of Glasgow have shared research that improves understanding of the behaviors and charging demands of EV drivers, that can help with the efficient ...
Tech Xplore / China blocks Meta from acquiring startup Manus as global AI rivalry deepens
China on Monday blocked U.S. tech giant Meta's acquisition of the artificial intelligence startup Manus, in an unexpected move to reverse a deal that apparently aroused Beijing's concerns about the transfer of advanced technology.
Medical Xpress / Cigarette exposure in the womb may amplify risk of metabolic disease in adulthood
People whose mothers smoked during pregnancy may benefit from paying extra attention to a healthy diet. According to a new study conducted in mice, the double-hit of maternal smoking and a high-fat, high-sugar diet during ...
Phys.org / CHIME tracks a hyperactive repeating fast radio burst source
Using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME), an international team of astronomers has performed radio observations of FRB 20220912A—a highly active source of repeating fast radio bursts. Results of the ...
Phys.org / This life‑threatening bacterium's hidden motor just gave medicine an unexpected opening to fight back
Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections linked to antibiotic resistance. The King's College London team behind the study, published in Nature ...
Phys.org / Chernobyl's wildlife: The real story isn't the presence of radiation, it's the absence of humans
"Dogs at Chernobyl are now genetically distinct … thanks to years of exposure to ionizing radiation, study finds."
