Medical Xpress / Ultrasensitive test detects biomarkers for specific form of dementia
Dementia affects over 57 million people worldwide, a number expected to nearly double in the next 20 years. This permanent loss of cognitive abilities affects daily function and can be caused by multiple brain pathologies, ...
Medical Xpress / Brain protein ASC identified as driver of inflammation after mild head injury
Every year, about 3 to 5 million people in the EU and the U.S. suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In most cases, it is a mild brain injury (mTBI) due to a closed head injury (CHI) caused by falls, traffic accidents, contact ...
Medical Xpress / Using the body's own sounds to diagnose Alzheimer's and Parkinson's before the first symptoms appear
Long before the telltale signs of Parkinson's disease appear, including tremors and muscle stiffness, there are other, more subtle signs of the disease.
Tech Xplore / 'I'm not sure'—AI finally learns three words that could make its biggest mistakes far less dangerous
A new approach has been proposed to address the problem of "overconfidence"—one of the most critical risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in areas such as autonomous driving and medical diagnosis, where AI shows high confidence ...
Phys.org / 2026 global report shows retailers still falling short on sustainable chocolate
A global report into the chocolate industry has found that while some companies are improving their sustainability practices, many retailers are still failing to ensure transparent and accountable cocoa supply chains that ...
Medical Xpress / Cutting calories by 10% to 15% may boost healthy aging without extreme diets
Search the web, and you'll find any number of biohacking techniques for promoting healthy lifespan, from taking cold baths to breathing pressurized oxygen to sleeping under a red light.
Medical Xpress / Nasal spray developed for prehospital emergency aid for ischemic stroke
A research team from Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), in collaboration with the InnoHK Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre (ABIC), has developed ...
Phys.org / Climate scientist finds large errors in a global climate pollution database
New research from Northern Arizona University found that a global greenhouse gas emissions database produced by the Climate TRACE consortium, co-founded by former Vice President Al Gore, is underestimating vehicle carbon ...
Phys.org / Testing quantum collapse theory with the XENONnT dark matter detector
Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, however, this superposition ...
Phys.org / Antarctica sea ice collapse driven by triple whammy of climate chaos, scientists find
Antarctica is being ravaged by a triple-whammy of climate chaos that has melted sea ice to record lows, a new study has revealed. For decades, the frozen wilderness at the bottom of the world defied global warming trends, ...
Phys.org / Why twisted bilayer graphene stops superconducting near high-dielectric substrates
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with a resistance of zero. In so-called conventional superconductors, this occurs at low temperatures when electrons become bound into pairs, known as Cooper pairs.
Phys.org / Ultrahigh-energy cosmic messengers may carry ultraheavy secrets
There may be an ultraheavy explanation for the mystery surrounding the origins of the highest-energy particles ever observed. Ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays are particles from space that strike Earth with energies far beyond ...
