Medical Xpress / AI model predicts Alzheimer's from MRI brain volume loss with 92.87% accuracy
WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict Alzheimer's disease with nearly 93% accuracy. Their research, published in the journal Neuroscience, ...
Phys.org / Color shortcut reveals bumblebees are efficient decision-makers
During their search for food, most insects head specifically for the flowers that promise the highest reward. But how do they know which ones to choose? Researchers from the University of Konstanz and the University of Würzburg ...
Phys.org / Soil saturation data sharpens atmospheric river flood warnings, study of 71,000 storms finds
Atmospheric rivers carry unfathomable amounts of water across the sky, bringing moisture to drought-stricken regions like the Western U.S. But whether a particular incoming atmospheric river storm will result in disastrous ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticle system shows promise for delivering mRNA to prevent type 1 diabetes
Research on preventing type 1 diabetes often focuses on limiting the autoimmune response that destroys the body's ability to produce its own insulin. A new technology developed by scientists at the University of Chicago takes ...
Tech Xplore / Platforms for charging wireless cars now fit on a bench, no test track needed
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a rotating tabletop device to study wireless charging in electric vehicles. Testing on real tracks takes up vast areas at significant cost. The team not only built ...
Tech Xplore / TweetyBERT parses canary songs to better understand how brains learn language
A new machine learning model, TweetyBERT, automatically segments and classifies canary vocalizations with expert-level accuracy, offering a scalable platform for neuroscience, providing insights into the neural basis of how ...
Medical Xpress / Paralympics and athletes tell the media: 'It should just be about sport'
With the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games, national and international media attention is once again turning to Paralympic sport. But how is it presented to the public?
Phys.org / BaSi₂-supported nickel catalyst boosts low-temperature hydrogen production
A new catalyst strategy developed at Institute of Science Tokyo uses BaSi2 as a support for nickel and cobalt to decompose ammonia at lower temperatures. By forming unique ternary transition metal–nitrogen–barium intermediates ...
Tech Xplore / Americans don't just fear driverless cars will crash—they fear mass job losses
While much of the public debate about self-driving cars focuses on safety, a new national study from the University of California San Diego reveals Americans' doubts about driverless cars aren't just about the fear of a crash. ...
Phys.org / Synthetic gene medicines may disrupt DNA repair
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), used to treat genetic diseases, can affect how cells repair damage to their DNA. This is shown in a new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications. The findings ...
Phys.org / Sun sets on the Sunlight glacier: Researchers document melting of Wyoming glacier
The glacier located near Sunlight Peak, Wyo., has been its icy self since the Yellowstone region's last major glaciation occurred some 20,000 years ago. The bulk of Sunlight's ice has remained ensconced in its northern Rocky ...
Phys.org / High-performance cell atlas workflow driven by manifold fitting
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed CellScope, a high-performance single-cell analysis framework that uses manifold fitting to analyze single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. This ...
