Tech Xplore / Laser speed in 3D printing tunes atomic structure of high-entropy alloys
Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, has already revolutionized industries like aerospace engineering by ...
Phys.org / Sculpting complex 3D nanostructures with a focused ion beam
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and colleagues have developed a new way to fabricate three-dimensional nanoscale devices from single-crystal materials using a focused ion beam instrument. The ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify promising new target for Alzheimer's-linked brain inflammation
A multidisciplinary team has developed a selective compound that inhibits an enzyme tied to inflammation in people at genetic risk for Alzheimer's, while preserving normal brain function and crossing the blood-brain barrier.
Medical Xpress / Early treatment can delay rheumatoid arthritis for years
Treating people who are at high risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can delay the onset of the disease for several years, with benefits also continuing well after treatment has stopped.
Phys.org / Oldest astronaut Buzz Aldrin turns 96 as new moon astronauts share Apollo inspirations
Buzz Aldrin, the second man and only one of 12 to ever walk on the moon, turns 96 today. He's just one of four living moonwalkers and the oldest remaining astronaut still making trips around the sun.
Tech Xplore / Microsoft CEO warns AI needs to spread beyond Big Tech to avoid bubble
As tech companies spend billions on artificial intelligence data centers and computer chips, fears of an AI bubble held privately by Wall Street traders and some Big Tech titans are beginning to pop into public view.
Tech Xplore / Handy robot can crawl and pick up objects from multiple angles
Like something out of the Addams Family, scientists have created a detachable robotic hand that can crawl and grab objects. The design enables tasks such as retrieving objects beyond normal reach and performing multi-object ...
Medical Xpress / Stool tests and diet patterns help predict risk of IBD flare-ups
Regular stool tests already used in NHS care, combined with dietary information, could help identify people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at higher risk of relapse, a major study appearing in the journal Gut suggests.
Medical Xpress / AI therapy chatbots draw new oversight as suicides raise alarm
States are passing laws to prevent artificially intelligent chatbots, such as ChatGPT, from being able to offer mental health advice to young users, following a trend of people harming themselves after seeking therapy from ...
Medical Xpress / More staff means better health among nursing home residents, study says
Boosting staffing levels at nursing homes could improve the health of residents, a new study says.
Phys.org / Researcher finds way to predict whirling disease with almost no data
A study led by a University of Calgary researcher has come up with an AI-based early detection system for river-borne pathogens—including whirling disease in trout and salmon.
Phys.org / Solar flares triggered by cascading magnetic avalanches, new observations reveal
Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered that a solar flare is triggered by initially weak disturbances that quickly become ...
