Medical Xpress / Why some moments endure: Episodic memory encoding fluctuates with brain's theta rhythms
For almost a century, psychologists and neuroscientists have been trying to understand how humans memorize different types of information, ranging from knowledge or facts to the recollection of important events. Past studies ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden acid imbalance in kidney disease raises red flags
A Japanese registry has identified a blind spot in the routine care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Serum bicarbonate levels are rarely measured, leaving metabolic acidosis largely undetected and hence, undertreated.
Phys.org / Engineered anhydrobiotic cells detect odors after years of dry, room-temperature storage
Demand for odor detection is growing in diverse fields such as food security, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring, but current technologies face limitations. Living cells with olfactory receptors can serve as ...
Phys.org / Discrete time crystal acts as a usable sensor for weak magnetic oscillations
The bizarre properties of discrete time crystals could be harnessed to detect extremely subtle oscillations of magnetic fields, physicists in the US and Germany have revealed. Publishing their results in Nature Physics, a ...
Phys.org / Earth's toughest microbes could help save the planet and find life on other worlds
Extremophiles may well be tiny, but they are making a huge contribution to the health of our planet and our lives. A new review of these microorganisms, published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, explains how they ...
Medical Xpress / Changes in pace of epigenetic clocks over time may help predict mortality risk
The age on your driver's license may not be the same age as the cells in your body. Scientists use something called an epigenetic clock, which looks at certain chemical tags in DNA to measure your biological age, or how fast ...
Phys.org / Endangered smalltooth sawfish make a comeback in a historical Florida nursery
During the winters of 2024 and 2025, widespread "spinning fish" events swept through the Florida Keys, impacting more than 80 marine fish species and likely killing hundreds of endangered large juvenile and adult smalltooth ...
Tech Xplore / AI chatbots' tendency to always agree may reinforce delusions in vulnerable users
The integration of large language model-based AI chatbots into multiple facets of our everyday lives has opened us up to advantages that would have been considered impossible even a decade ago. The same development has, however, ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast laser pulses bring diamond-based quantum internet closer to reality
The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as quantum networks and quantum computing. A research team has now demonstrated the successful application ...
Phys.org / Generative AI in business schools: Friend or foe?
Since tools like ChatGPT burst into higher education, debate has focused on two extremes: either students are all committing underhanded academic fraud and plagiarism or Artificial Intelligence will magically revolutionize ...
Phys.org / Superconductor advancement could unlock ultra-energy-efficient electronics
Superconducting materials could play a crucial role in the energy-efficient applications of the future. However, several technical challenges still stand in the way of their practical use. Now, researchers at Chalmers University ...
Medical Xpress / Why arthritis in children can threaten eyesight
Arthritis is often associated with older age, but it also affects children. One of the most common forms is juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), an inflammatory condition that causes persistent joint swelling and pain.
