Dialog / Three-in-one diode integrates sensing, memory and processing for smart cameras
Think about how easily you recognize a friend in a dimly lit room. Your eyes capture light, while your brain filters out background noise, retrieves stored visual information, and processes the image to make a match. It all ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular 'brake' limits axonal regeneration after injury to nerves or spinal cord
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a molecular switch in neurons that limits the regrowth of damaged axonal fibers. The findings, published in the journal Nature, show that blocking ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered recessive neurodevelopmental disorder may be most prevalent ever
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York have identified and described a previously unknown recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that appears to be the most prevalent ever discovered. ...
Medical Xpress / A state policy required hospitals to offer more financial assistance—medical debt plummeted
A policy in Oregon that requires nonprofit hospitals to provide more financial assistance to patients was linked to a meaningful drop in the number of residents with medical bills that end up in debt collections, according ...

Scientists at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) have made progress in recent months with the discovery of a novel compound, named MF-8. The compound and its associated pharmaceuticals demonstrate significant potential ...
Phys.org / Two organs, one brain area: How fish orient themselves in the water
Using zebrafish, researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) have identified the tegmentum region in the fish midbrain as the area where light input from both the fish's eyes and the pineal organ—the "third eye"—is ...
Medical Xpress / Bacterial-like vaccine cues could help extend immunity against evolving viruses
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a possible way to make longer-lasting vaccines for respiratory viruses like influenza and the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The ...
Phys.org / Measuring titanium in Apollo rock to uncover moon's early chemistry
Earth and the moon may look very different today, but they formed under similar conditions in space. In fact, a dominant hypothesis says that the early Earth was hit by a Mars-sized object, and it was this giant impact that ...
Phys.org / Finding the 'quantum needle' in a haystack: New filtering method can isolate photons
In quantum technologies, everything depends on the ability to detect the properties carried by a single photon. But in the real world, that photon of interest is often buried in a sea of unwanted light—a true "needle in a ...
Phys.org / Conductive hydrogel enables electrical and biochemical signal control
Many emerging medical technologies rely on seamless integration between biological systems and electronics. This requires materials that are soft, electrically conductive, and biologically active—properties that have been ...
Phys.org / Archival records reveal prevalence of sexually transmitted infections during Otago's gold rush less than purported
Sexually transmitted infections in Otago's gold rush era were less common than popular culture books portray, University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka research has found. The first-of-its-kind study, published in the Journal ...
Medical Xpress / Women with diabetes less likely to receive preventive care and some screenings, research indicates
