Tech Xplore / AI tool helps visually impaired users 'feel' where objects are in real time
Over the last few years, systems and applications that help visually impaired people navigate their environment have undergone rapid development, but still have room to grow, according to a team of researchers at Penn State. ...
Phys.org / New EPA rule gives oil, gas firms more time to fix equipment leaking methane
On Nov. 26, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized a rule granting oil and gas operators more than a year in additional time to comply with mandates set by former President Joe Biden to replace leaky equipment and ...
Tech Xplore / High-flying tech hits potholes in India's Silicon Valley
In India's tech capital Bengaluru, the morning "rush hour" lasts so long it devours half the workday, throttling productivity in a city often viewed as the poster child of a booming economy.
Phys.org / Sloshing ferrofluids harness vibration energy: A new spin on powering tomorrow's wearables and IoT
Modern devices, from fitness trackers and smart garments to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, require compact and sustainable power sources. In new research published in Scientific Reports, scientists present an energy harvester ...
Phys.org / Scientists map 3D structure of ZAK protein involved in cellular stress response
In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns Hopkins and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have published what is believed to be ...
Medical Xpress / Two parallel blood formation systems produce different immune and blood cells
It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different precursor cells. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have developed a method ...
Medical Xpress / Frailty in young heart attack patients linked to higher risk of early death
Researchers have uncovered a major blind spot in the way doctors assess future health risk in young adults who suffer a heart attack.
Phys.org / Unstable protein linked to cancer reveals dynamic behavior
Around 80% of proteins involved in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative illnesses do not have a stable structure. These proteins, known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) can quickly adapt to the conditions ...
Medical Xpress / Study links America's favorite cooking oil to obesity
Soybean oil, the most widely consumed cooking oil in the United States and a staple of processed foods, contributes to obesity, at least in mice, through a mechanism scientists are now beginning to understand.
Phys.org / Scientists track recent solar flare disruptions in Earth's ionosphere
As this month's string of powerful X-class solar flares sparked brilliant auroras that lit up skies across an unusually wide swath of the globe—from northern Europe to Florida—researchers at NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial ...
Phys.org / Three key pathways identified for scaling up actionable climate knowledge
There's no one-size-fits-all solution to adapting and building resilience to climate change, but a new study led by the University of Michigan offers three generalized pathways to help climate knowledge achieve its maximum ...
