Phys.org / Virtual reality fish platform offers insights into the impact of artificial light on aquatic life
A virtual reality (VR) platform has given researchers new insights into how artificial light at night alters the way coral reef fish respond to predators. The study brings together, for the first time, the metabolic expertise ...
Medical Xpress / Eosinophilic esophagitis prevalence may be higher than thought in pediatric patients with asthma
Screening for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in a pediatric asthma clinic may identify more patients than previously thought, according to a study published online June 23 in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: ...
Medical Xpress / Human tissue model tracks glioblastoma invasion cell by cell
Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor and is among the most aggressive cancers in humans. Despite multimodal therapy with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, there is still no cure. A major reason is the tumor's invasive ...
Phys.org / Satellite imagery could protect trees from devastating moth outbreaks
Satellite-derived maps of defoliation caused by European spongy moths—a devastating U.S. forest pest that consumes the leaves of a wide variety of trees—offer a promising solution for tracking where and when to spray and ...
Phys.org / Small ants that evict coffee pests may gain reproductive boost while protecting crops
Ants are known allies in the fight against coffee pests known as coffee berry borers. Now, a discovery made by Jonathan "Jonno" Morris while he was a University of Michigan graduate student has revealed there may be a new ...
Tech Xplore / Rethinking how AI supports investment decisions
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming modern finance, powering applications ranging from stock market forecasting to investment advice. But does making more accurate predictions necessarily lead to better investment ...
Tech Xplore / AI underwater robots can now track diver stress via exhaled bubbles
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind AI system that allows underwater companion robots to monitor a diver's health in real time simply by "watching" their exhaled bubbles.
Tech Xplore / Future-aware AI doubles robot speed in pick-and-place tasks
A new method developed by MIT researchers makes robots better at thinking ahead while they are acting, leading to smoother motions and quicker reactions. The research is published on the arXiv preprint server.
Medical Xpress / Inflammation may drive Dravet syndrome, offering a potential new treatment target
An overactive immune response in the brain may play a role in Dravet syndrome, a rare and severe genetic epilepsy that typically begins in infancy, according to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers. Children with the condition ...
Phys.org / Survey highlights AI's potential to advance accessibility in work and learning
As artificial intelligence becomes part of how people work, learn and solve problems, a new University of Phoenix survey conducted by The Harris Poll finds that recent working learners see meaningful opportunities for AI ...
Medical Xpress / Mental distress, fatigue common in childhood survivors of leukemia, lymphoma
Adult childhood cancer survivors (CCS) of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) frequently report mental distress, fatigue and executive function (EF) impairment, ...
Phys.org / Rural runoff funnels hurricane floodwater toward coastal cities, model finds
Coastal cities are at increasing risk of compound flooding events, such as when heavy rainfall and storm surges occur simultaneously during hurricanes. However, the processes that contribute to urban compound flooding aren't ...
