Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI helps soft robot arms switch tasks and stay stable
Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new scenarios on the fly without needing retraining or sacrificing functionality. ...
Phys.org / Two-day-old babies show brain signs of rhythm prediction, study finds
Babies are born with the ability to predict rhythm, according to a study published February 5 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Roberta Bianco from the Italian Institute of Technology, and colleagues.
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify two emerging animal viruses as potential global health threats
Infectious disease experts are sounding the alarm about two pathogens in animals that have the potential to trigger the next major health crisis.
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of chronic fatigue patients test positive for Bartonella or Babesia infection
A pilot study has found evidence of Bartonella and Babesia infection in almost half of 50 blood samples from patients suffering chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). The study appears in Pathogens.
Tech Xplore / Dynamic digital product passports for short-shelf-life food and drink could cut waste and improve safety
Dynamic digital product passports—real-time, intelligent digital records that capture the true condition of perishable goods such as food and drink throughout their life cycle—could dramatically cut waste and improve ...
Tech Xplore / Origami-inspired waveguides fold for launch, expand in space for satellites
High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either end, neither of which ...
Phys.org / The dirty afterlife of a dead satellite
Sometimes we humans get ahead of ourselves. We embark on grand engineering experiments without really understanding what the long-term implications of such projects are. Climate change itself is a perfect example of that—no ...
Medical Xpress / Scientific statement focused on post-stroke spasticity urges early diagnosis, intervention for improved recovery
For many stroke survivors, recovery is derailed by painful muscle stiffness and involuntary spasms that limit movement, independence, and quality of life. Often viewed as an unavoidable consequence of stroke, this condition—known ...
Medical Xpress / Self-regulating living implant could end daily insulin injections
A pioneering study marks a major step toward eliminating the need for daily insulin injections for people with diabetes. The study was led by Assistant Professor Shady Farah of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering at the Technion—Israel ...
Tech Xplore / Why light poles failed in Hurricane Ian despite meeting design standards
When Hurricane Ian moved across Florida in 2022, several aluminum light poles on a Central Florida bridge collapsed or cracked, even though wind speeds remained below the structures' design limits. A new University of Florida ...
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Cannabis usage in middle-aged, older adults linked to larger brain volume, better cognitive function
Research studying the effects of cannabis on the brain has often focused on adolescents, but a new study from CU Anschutz researchers looks at population-level impacts of cannabis usage on the brain in older adults. The work ...
Phys.org / Study finds numbing the mouth may speed up silent reading
Parents often tell their children to sound out the words as they are learning to read. It makes sense: Since they already know how to speak, the sound of a word might serve as a clue to its meaning.
