Medical Xpress / Physical activity may protect older adults from hearing loss
Researchers from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (COMD) have partnered with faculty from across the Arnold School and USC to complete a study investigating the connections among physical function, blood ...
Medical Xpress / New caregiver resource focuses on quality of life in later stages of dementia
Much of the progress in Alzheimer's disease research in recent years has focused on preventing or slowing the disease in its earliest stages. But for millions of people already living with advanced dementia—and the families ...
Tech Xplore / First-of-its-kind X-ray imaging tool for studying nuclear materials
As global energy demand continues to grow—driven in part by the rise of artificial intelligence—researchers are exploring technologies that can provide affordable, reliable and safe sources of electricity. Nuclear energy ...
Tech Xplore / Tracking energy flow reveals voltage pattern that slashes waste heat by over 60%
Almost all the energy that flows into computing devices is eventually squandered as waste heat.
Medical Xpress / Ketone supplement trial tests whether it can slow aging in older adults
For Judy Donnelly, participating in a UConn Health research study meant driving from Windham to Farmington, drinking four packets of a supplement each day and undergoing a comprehensive series of tests designed to measure ...
Phys.org / The extinct American 'cheetah' was not a cheetah after all
With their slender bodies and long front legs, Miracinonyx trumani—often nicknamed the "American cheetah"—was long thought to be a North American analog of the African big cat. But in a new study published in the journal ...
Phys.org / From strays to territory bosses: Epigenetics makes cheetahs adaptable
The findings of a new study led by the Leibniz-IZW on Namibian free-ranging cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus) demonstrate that epigenetic mechanisms might play an important role in how animals develop different phenotypes ...
Phys.org / Untangling the meta-biomaterial puzzle one property at a time
From repairing damaged tissues to developing better implants, many medical developments depend on materials that can mimic the complex properties of human tissue. Meta-biomaterials are among the most promising candidates. ...
Phys.org / Marine heat waves boost coastal CO₂ uptake by 11%, analysis finds
Marine heat waves are a consequence of climate change and are increasingly altering marine and coastal regions worldwide. An international study led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon now shows that many coastal seas absorb ...
Medical Xpress / Analysis identifies sharply different health risks among medicinal, recreational and dual cannabis users
With recreational cannabis now legal in 24 states, including Delaware, the number of users is rising. But not all cannabis users look alike or face the same health concerns. Most published research compares cannabis users ...
Phys.org / Timing 1080 drops to prevent predators bouncing back
While aerial 1080 drops sharply reduce numbers of rats and stoats, the predators—especially ship rats—can rebound to higher numbers within a few years. Studying 24 years of small-mammal tracking records across New Zealand's ...
Phys.org / Physics-based AI unlocks first global predictions of carbon cycling in ocean sediments
Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new physics-based artificial intelligence approach that, for the first time, enables accurate global-scale predictions of how dissolved organic carbon moves between ...
