Phys.org / New research explores how home languages can strengthen early English reading instruction
During a reading lesson, Mateo, an elementary multilingual learner (MLL) in a Delaware public school, read "sit" as "seat." Jon Kittle, his reading interventionist, walked him through the short vowel sound, but Mateo made ...
Phys.org / Water quality, not just scarcity, may shape future competition for a limited resource
Climate change is largely to blame for water scarcity. The low water levels in European rivers this summer speak volumes in that respect.
Phys.org / NZ's new flood maps are missing a hidden threat—the water quietly rising from below
The latest update of nationwide flood maps, to be released next year, will give communities across New Zealand the clearest picture yet of the regional risk of flooding.

The federal government is injecting millions of dollars into efforts to combat feral hogs—and it's considering spending even more in the coming years. The problem has grown for decades, but our research has found that a recently ...
Medical Xpress / Novel AI model accurately detects key gene mutations and predicts biomarkers across 32 cancer types
Researchers have developed a novel AI model that can analyze a routine whole-slide histopathology image and simultaneously predict cancer subtype, specific genetic mutations and survival outcomes across 32 different solid ...
Medical Xpress / AI digital twin platform advances personalized cancer treatment planning
A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a patient-centric "Artificial Intelligence (AI) Virtual Patient Simulation System," overcoming the limitations of conventional static diagnosis.
Medical Xpress / New single-cell atlas reveals the plasticity of the human pancreas
An international research team coordinated by the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) has created the most comprehensive single-cell atlas of the human pancreas to date. As part of a Human Cell Atlas project led by ...
Phys.org / DNA origami nanosyringe actively transports molecules into synthetic cells
Transporting molecules across biological membranes is essential for life. In nature, this can occur through passive transport, known as diffusion. "Biological systems often use mechanical motion to accomplish tasks that cannot ...
Phys.org / This South African river has a bacteria count off the charts: A natural filter is cleaning it for watering food gardens
Every day, millions of liters of polluted water flow through many South African rivers and disappear into the sea.
Tech Xplore / AI model captures how humans read, paving the way to personalized text and better augmented reality
Researchers at Aalto University, together with international partners, have developed the most accurate model yet of how humans read. The new model uses reinforcement learning, a type of AI used in robotics, to explain—and ...
Medical Xpress / AI framework decodes how brain regions talk to one another
For decades, neuroscientists have been able to record which parts of the brain show increased electrical activity during a behavior, such as when we form a memory or make a decision. But scientists haven't been able to determine ...
Medical Xpress / Scheduling dental care during prenatal visits boosts oral health care during pregnancy
Prenatal visits might include bloodwork, discussions of due dates and vitamins, and ultrasounds. What if these visits could also improve oral health care among pregnant patients?
