Medical Xpress / Sweat-powered fingertip patch accurately monitors Parkinson's medication
Engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, wearable fingertip patch that continuously tracks a patient's Parkinson's disease medication levels through sweat. The device ...
Tech Xplore / Genesis chip may help AI with its memory problem
One of artificial intelligence's most stubborn problems is enabling AI systems to accumulate new knowledge without losing what they previously learned. A team of researchers at the MATRIX AI Consortium at The University of ...
Phys.org / New sensing method measures laser-cutting depth by tracking vaporization recoil
Laser dicing, a technique that uses focused laser pulses to separate individual chips from a semiconductor wafer, is increasingly favored over mechanical blade cutting because it can process delicate, low-strength materials ...
Phys.org / How changing environments can preserve an ancient microbial survival strategy
A research group led by Tetsuhiro Hatakeyama from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo has revealed how a seemingly self-destructive survival strategy could persist in yeast for hundreds ...
Medical Xpress / Smart wound dressing speeds up healing by triggering body's own repair signals
A bioinspired material developed by scientists at Imperial College London accelerates wound healing and the repair of human skin. The material captures the body's own healing proteins, releasing them only when repair cells ...
Phys.org / Scientists pinpoint where cells first begin copying DNA
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and collaborators have uncovered one of the earliest steps in DNA replication: the moment a cell first opens its DNA to begin making a copy of its genome. The findings, ...
Tech Xplore / Inspired by how children learn, new AI framework learns to theorize the world from observations
A KAIST research team has developed a next-generation world model, an internal model an AI builds to understand and predict the world, that learns executable theories from observation alone.
Phys.org / Low-level cloud loss amplifies global warming, simulations suggest
Low-level clouds over Earth's oceans play a prominent role in keeping our planet cool by reflecting sunlight away from the surface. But their response to climate change has been hard to model. Now, researchers at Caltech ...
Phys.org / Biomolecular condensates reveal surprising activity as catalysts
Biomolecular condensates are ubiquitous in living cells, including bacteria, viruses, plants and mammalian systems. These membraneless bodies, or molecular communities made up of DNA, RNA and proteins, are where molecules ...
Phys.org / Invasive species hit the Global South significantly harder than previously assumed
Invasive alien species are among the world's leading drivers of species extinction. However, previous global assessments of the geographic distribution of this damage suffered from a systematic "research bias": Because significantly ...
Phys.org / Highly tunable electro-optic isolator achieves one-way light flow on photonic chips
Integrated photonic devices—tiny circuits that use light instead of electrons—are becoming increasingly important for scalable photonics technologies and high-bandwidth communications. They are particularly valuable for managing ...
Phys.org / Sharks, spines and speed: The hidden architecture behind different swimming styles revealed
"Shark Week," which kicks off this week, has captivated audiences for decades with stories of these powerful ocean predators. But the secret behind their extraordinary swimming abilities lies far deeper than their impressive ...
