Phys.org / No perfect job? Moving forward despite uncertainty may make work more meaningful
People who accept that there may not always be a perfect career choice and learn to make decisions despite uncertainty are more likely to find their work meaningful, satisfying and engaging, according to research published ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metasurface turns keyboard commands into dynamic holograms in milliseconds
Metasurfaces are ultrathin optical components engineered with arrays of nanoscale structures that can control light in ways that are difficult for conventional optics. Unlike traditional optical components, which typically ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop AI-based brain stimulation hologram technology
A research team led by Professor Jae Youn Hwang of DGIST's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, in collaboration with a team led by Professors Euiheon Chung and Hyuk Sang Kwon of GIST's Department of ...
Medical Xpress / New PPAR therapies could slow fibrosis in primary biliary cholangitis
Primary biliary cholangitis is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the liver and can progress to cirrhosis. It occurs when the immune system attacks the small bile ducts within the liver. As a result, bile builds up, leading ...
Tech Xplore / Larger than life: VR warps how people perceive their body size, study finds
A new study from the University of Toronto finds that people perceive their bodies as larger in virtual reality than in the physical world—and that effect doesn't end when the headset comes off.
Medical Xpress / RNA testing uncovers 171 mutations driving MET exon 14 skipping in lung cancer
New research has shown that RNA-based testing can improve the detection and interpretation of clinically actionable genomic alterations that lead to MET exon 14 skipping in patients with lung cancer—important biomarkers that ...
Medical Xpress / Brain waves once seen as noise could help build a biological model of reality
Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves. Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, creating what are called traveling brain waves, or neural traveling waves. These waves cause real differences ...
Tech Xplore / For the birds: Parakeet co-designs its own perch
Shiso, a ring-necked parakeet, can't speak English, but she knows how to make her preferences known. She has screaming fights with the dogs and cats in her household, snorts for attention and food, and perches on her human ...
Phys.org / How mothers speak has little impact on children's school grades, study reveals
A mother's everyday speech habits have little bearing on her child's academic success, according to new research led by the University of York.
Medical Xpress / Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors may drive dangerous plaque buildup in coronary arteries
Cardiovascular risk factors are linked to a higher risk of heart disease, but it has been unknown how they are related to abrupt closure of the coronary arteries leading to heart attack and sudden cardiac death. A study by ...
Phys.org / Thousands flee wildfires in southern Europe
Luggage-clad residents and tourists fled a French peninsula by boat, and the smell of smoke drifted into parts of Madrid on Friday as wildfires swept through parts of Western Europe, triggering states of emergency and calls ...
Phys.org / Climate change making Europe drought 'more severe': study
Human-caused climate change has intensified a drought across Europe, with extreme heat rather than low rainfall driving the exceptionally dry conditions, a team of international scientists said Thursday.
