Tech Xplore / Why remote teamwork tools miss some users, and how a new method could fix that
Remote collaboration software tools, such as Zoom or Google Docs, have become essential for teamwork—but they often overlook the fact that people do not all approach collaboration in the same way. Researchers have now developed ...
Medical Xpress / Low-dose drug cuts breast density up to 26% with fewer side effects
Low doses of the investigational medicinal product endoxifen reduce breast density to the same extent as the standard treatment tamoxifen, but without causing such troublesome side effects. This is shown by a new study from ...
Medical Xpress / Seeing keratoconus earlier with light polarization and AI
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease that weakens and thins the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. In its early, subclinical stage, the cornea can still appear normal on routine exams. Yet this is when accurate ...
Phys.org / Quantum computing's next dark horse emerges from a frozen surface, where almost nothing behaves as expected
Quantum bits (qubits) are the fundamental building blocks of quantum information processing. A novel qubit platform invented at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory exhibits noise levels thousands ...
Phys.org / Nest‑building chimpanzees seem to anticipate future weather
Every evening, as they move from place to place through the forest, chimpanzees stop to build a nest—most often in a tree—to sleep in. Using a selection of branches, leaves and twigs, they create comfortable and safe spaces ...
Phys.org / They look like healthy motivation, but these viral posts may do more harm than good for young adults
Social media is filled with posts about fitness and healthy eating aiming to inspire and encourage better lifestyles. However, a new large review study led by an Olympic athlete reveals that this seemingly motivational content ...
Phys.org / AI slashes the time needed to design better heat-harvesting devices
From wearable technology to industrial heat recovery, thermoelectric generators which convert waste heat into electricity have an enormous range of potential applications. So far, however, designing high-performing versions ...
Medical Xpress / Brown fat could help protect against cardiovascular disease in obesity
People with obesity face a significantly increased risk of atherosclerosis, and consequently heart attack and stroke. This elevated risk is largely driven by chronic inflammation in the blood vessels, which is more common ...
Medical Xpress / High-intensity interval training shows strongest vascular benefits in cardiovascular patients
Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and plays a central role in vascular inflammation, thrombosis, and impaired vasodilation. A study led by researchers from Miguel Hernández University of ...
Medical Xpress / Central nervous system a key player in diabetes pain
Changes within the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, can be a key reason for pain in people with diabetes, and future treatments could focus on restoring the brain's pain blocking systems, according ...
Tech Xplore / Think online ads are harmless? They could be revealing your private life, say researchers
A new study has uncovered a significant and largely invisible privacy risk in the online advertising ecosystem: the ads you see may be enough to reveal sensitive personal information.
Medical Xpress / Proteins found in cancer extracellular vesicles could guide drug development
Cancer cells release tiny biological packages called extracellular vesicles (EVs) that help tumors grow and spread. A team led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators has now connected certain proteins carried ...
