Tech Xplore / This AI mines the numbers buried in scientific papers and turns them into usable data fast
Numbers are the language of science—yet in research articles, they are often buried within the text and difficult to analyze. Researchers at Jülich have developed an AI system that automatically identifies these numbers, ...
Phys.org / Iron plus UV light turns alcohol into hydrogen with catalyst-like efficiency
Publishing in Communications Chemistry, researchers from Kyushu University have discovered a simple method of generating hydrogen gas by mixing methanol, sodium hydroxide, and iron ions, then irradiating the solution with ...
Medical Xpress / Songbird brains can generate new neurons: Can human brains do the same?
Despite its small size—it could sit in the palm of your hand—the zebra finch is a remarkable learner. A songbird native to Australia, it's renowned for its ability to pick up new songs. That talent has made it a favorite ...
Phys.org / Saving coral reefs will require ruthless selection over generations to beat future heat waves
Assisted evolution could help corals survive future heat waves, but careful trait choice and strong repeated selection will be needed for it to be effective. As global temperatures rise, marine heat waves are becoming more ...
Phys.org / Smart irrigation rules could cut water use and raise farm profits
As water supplies shrink and food demand grows, new interdisciplinary research from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers a practical way for farmers to manage irrigation more efficiently while protecting their bottom ...
Medical Xpress / Abdominal fat is linked to a higher risk of urinary incontinence in women
The accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, especially visceral fat (fat that accumulates between organs), significantly increases the risk of stress urinary incontinence in women. A study conducted at the Federal University ...
Phys.org / A student-led experiment sets new limits in the search for axions
In the era of precision cosmology, research often means big science: large observatories, highly complex instruments, international collaborations and substantial funding. Yet even in such an advanced field, progress is still ...
Medical Xpress / FDA to review whether to allow more access to certain peptides
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon review whether certain peptides should be allowed in customized medications made by compounding pharmacies.
Phys.org / As modern crops turn 'lazy' underground, old sorghum may hold key to future food security
A greater focus on roots during plant breeding could ensure staple grain crops continue to feed the world as recycled nutrients substitute conventional fertilizers in the future, a University of Queensland study published ...
Phys.org / Catching a scramblase in the act could pave the way to improved blood disorder and cancer treatments
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have revealed the detailed workings of a cell membrane protein that has essential roles in all animals. The discovery could lead to new therapeutic strategies for blood coagulation disorders, ...
Medical Xpress / Older mice may offer new insight into cancer and aging
Cancer risk increases with age and is often more aggressive and difficult to treat in older adults. However, fewer than 10% of mouse studies use aged animals, with most relying on mice roughly equivalent to humans in their ...
Medical Xpress / Biodegradable magnesium alloys gain strength and resist corrosion for safer implants
Researchers at Flinders University have developed a new class of biodegradable magnesium-based alloys with improved strength and corrosion resistance, marking an important step forward for next-generation medical implants.
