Tech Xplore / Student maps where cyclists really go—and why it matters for city planning
A study co-authored by UBC Okanagan Associate Professor Dr. Mahmudur Fatmi and doctoral student Bijoy Saha uses Okanagan travel-diary data to model destination choices across full bike "tours."
Medical Xpress / Current heart attack screening tools fail to identify half the people who are at risk, study shows
Current cardiac screening tools used to prevent heart attacks fail to identify nearly half of the people who are actually at risk of having one, according to a new study led by Mount Sinai researchers.
Tech Xplore / UAV-based system could predict sag and environmental risks for power transmission lines
Power transmission lines (TLs) are ubiquitous, spanning diverse landscapes, including forests, agricultural regions, as well as mountains. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel technologies to monitor their condition ...
Phys.org / Atoms passing through walls: Quantum tunneling of hydrogen within palladium crystal
At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum tunneling, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher potential energy than the energy of the ...
Phys.org / Unlocking the genome's hidden half with new DNA sequencing technology
Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, neurological function and genetic ...
Tech Xplore / New receiver frontend system achieves 108 Gb/s data rate using PAM-8 signals
High-voltage, higher-order PAM-8 signals are essential to achieve data rates beyond 100 Gb/s, requiring highly linear receivers to maintain excellent signal-to-noise ratios.
Phys.org / Can narrating immigrants' pain and tragedy reduce perceived threat to Muslim immigrants in the US?
US media and politicians often celebrate beautiful stories of immigrants arriving in America, finding a new home, and thriving in the land of opportunity.
Phys.org / What would a small black hole do to the human body? Scientist aims to answer that
Some people may worry about being bitten by a snake or spider, but have you ever considered what would happen if a small black hole tried to pass through your body?
Medical Xpress / Many men may not need long-term hormone therapy for prostate cancer, study suggests
A study co-led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that most of the benefits of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer occur within the first 9 to 12 months. Extending ...
Phys.org / Seeing the hidden microbial world beneath our feet—from the sky
A new study by Dr. Angela Harris from The University of Manchester and Professor Richard Bardgett from Lancaster University has revealed that scientists can now detect the hidden world of microbes living in the soil—from ...
Phys.org / Finding 40,000 asteroids before they find us
The number 40,000 might not sound particularly dramatic, but it represents humanity's growing catalog of near-Earth asteroids, rocky remnants from the solar system's violent birth that cross paths with our planet's orbit. ...
Medical Xpress / Deep learning model has identified imaging biomarker for chronic stress
A deep learning model has identified an imaging biomarker of chronic stress, according to a study to be presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, being held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4 in Chicago.
