Tech Xplore / AI maps science papers to predict research trends two to three years ahead
The number of scientific papers is growing so rapidly that scientists are no longer able to keep track of all of them, even in their own research area. Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in collaboration ...
Medical Xpress / Shortage of synapses predicts severity of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, study reveals
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting about 1% of the population worldwide, and is notoriously difficult to treat. Current treatments successfully target the disorder's positive symptoms, such as hallucinations ...
Phys.org / One of cholera's great enemies is found in the human gut
Cholera-causing bacteria are locked in an evolutionary arms race with a viral nemesis, according to a new genomic study. Researchers have found that, in the Ganges Delta, cholera bacteria rapidly gain and lose special armor ...
Medical Xpress / Low-dose leukemia drug can clear senescent fat cells and cut inflammation
In collaboration with researchers in South Korea, a team from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) has discovered a promising therapeutic target in fat tissue that improves cellular function, reduces inflammation, and ...
Phys.org / Analysis tracks 20 years of coastal species shifts in the Gulf of Maine
Researchers from the University of Maine, in partnership with the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR), are analyzing more than 20 years of fishery survey data from the Gulf of Maine to examine how environmental change ...
Phys.org / Gemini South confirms long-suspected link between the composition of exoplanets and their host stars
Astronomers have discovered that a giant planet, WASP-189b, echoes the composition of its host star, providing the first direct evidence of a foundational concept in astrobiology. This discovery was achieved through the first-ever ...
Phys.org / Time lapse video shows trees give visual clues as they rehydrate each spring
With the arrival of spring a few weeks ago, new buds and colors on the trees started to appear. Along with that new growth, a UBC Okanagan researcher has determined that some trees in spring also provide simple, visual clues—raised ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's risk reduced after high-dose influenza vaccination vs. standard dose, study finds
The risk of Alzheimer's disease significantly decreases in older adults who receive a higher dose of the influenza vaccine compared to the standard dose, according to new research led by UTHealth Houston. The findings are ...
Phys.org / Study finds some dark web users share traits with those involved in crime
The dark web is sometimes seen as a shadowy part of the internet, but it also has legitimate uses, including accessing censored information and sharing files securely. Its anonymity and privacy features, however, can make ...
Phys.org / A color-changing phosphor can encode information
A new synthetic molecule switches between emitting green and blue light after application of a solvent or mild heat. The color-changing phosphor can be leveraged for a two-layered information encoding platform, according ...
Medical Xpress / Newly identified chronic pain circuit offers pathways to new treatments
A new map of a brain circuit specific to chronic pain suggests a promising route to treatment for the roughly 60 million Americans living with persistent pain, according to a study published in Nature. The study showed that ...
Phys.org / Useful quantum computers could be built with as few as 10,000 qubits, team finds
Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing ...
