Medical Xpress / Digital mindfulness intervention beneficial for late-life depression
A digital mindfulness intervention with electroencephalogram (EEG) feedback—the FocusZen Mindfulness Stress Reduction System—reduces depression, anxiety, and sleep symptoms among participants with late-life depression (LLD), ...
Phys.org / 3D genome analysis of germ cell formation tracks 350 million years of vertebrate evolution
A research team led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has revealed how the genome is reorganized in 3D during male germ cell formation in vertebrates, leading to important new insights into how biodiversity is ...
Phys.org / Camouflaging snails change color in the rain
How does a stripy tree snail hide from hungry birds? The Hypselostyla camelopardalis from the Philippines and Reinia variegata from Japan have both evolved a form of dynamic camouflage to survive. Their light-colored patterns ...
Tech Xplore / Physicists create sensor that detects and locates radiation with precision
Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at Vilnius University (VU) have developed a sensor capable of accurately detecting radiation, identifying its sources, and determining its intensity and precise location. The device, ...
Medical Xpress / Improving growth outcomes for children living with dwarfism
New findings from a trial conducted at Children's Hospital Colorado (Children's Colorado) and University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz School of Medicine demonstrate significantly increased growth rates in children with achondroplasia, ...
Phys.org / New findings on how malaria parasites invade human cells yield proof of concept for new antimalarial drug
For nearly half a century, scientists have known that malaria parasites force their way into human red blood cells through a ring-shaped structure called the moving junction. What no one could work out was what it actually ...
Medical Xpress / Cryo-EM helps identify the mechanisms of dental plaque formation
Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). In Japan alone, approximately 80% of adults 30 and older are affected or considered ...
Phys.org / England breaks record for warmest June: Met Office

Phys.org / Why Facebook, video calls and artificial intelligence matter for age-friendly communities
Contrary to common stereotypes, seniors' digital savvy is surging. New research from Rutgers University-New Brunswick suggests one reason: Digital tools are essential for the development and maintenance of age-friendly initiatives—programs ...
Phys.org / New way to clean up environmental pollution using phage bioaugmentation
The ability of bacteria to remove pollutants from soil, water, mine waste and other environments could be supercharged by a "friendly" compatible virus, according to a study led by Flinders University. The new insights, published ...
Tech Xplore / Team uses 3D printing to develop zinc-ion hybrid battery with seven times more energy
Storing solar and wind energy to meet the increasing power needs of the electrical grid calls for devices that can deliver power quickly, recharge quickly and last for decades at low cost. A new study led by UCLA has uncovered ...
Phys.org / The universe should look the same in all directions at large scales, but DESI data suggest otherwise
Earlier this year, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) completed observations that mapped 47 million galaxies across 11 billion light-years, allowing astronomers to better evaluate the large-scale structure of ...
