Phys.org / Bacterial protein map could open new path against drug-resistant infections
La Trobe scientists have made a pivotal discovery in the fight against dangerous drug-resistant bacteria, as the University launches a major research initiative focused on new ways to target antimicrobial resistance (AMR). ...
Medical Xpress / AI screening tool gives pathologists 'spatial super vision' to detect hidden cancer
QIMR Berghofer scientists have developed an AI screening tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge spatial biology analysis to give pathologists "super vision" to detect hidden genetic markers of cancer in standard patient ...
Medical Xpress / Large study finds a strong link between depression and cannabis use
A new meta-analysis of 55 studies involving more than 3 million people has found that 31% of individuals with cannabis use disorder (CUD) also struggle with major depressive disorder (MDD). While a link between these two ...
Science X / Want better grades? Make a date with your calendar
It turns out that your planner isn't just for show. A huge analysis of thousands of students proves that meticulously scheduling your days can seriously boost your grades.
Medical Xpress / Can AI forecast immune responses? New benchmark shows where predictions hold up and fail
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help scientists accelerate drug discovery and search for new treatments. But for AI tools to work effectively, researchers need to know whether they can be validated and ...
Phys.org / Portable sensor detects PFAS in water on-site, cutting need for costly lab tests
A new study has unveiled a new method to cost-effectively and practically test for "forever chemicals" in water, potentially revolutionizing environmental PFAS monitoring. Led by Griffith University, the novel PFAS detection ...
Medical Xpress / Teens view cannabis as less harmful than alcohol, vapes and cigarettes
Adolescents in California consistently perceive cannabis as less harmful than other commonly used substances, according to a new study analyzing data from two large statewide school surveys. Shu-Hong Zhu, Ph.D., professor ...
Phys.org / Study says trees counter half the world's urban heating, but not in the places that need it most
Trees are countering nearly half the urban heating from pavement and buildings in the world's cities, but they're not doing enough cooling in hotter, poorer cities where it's needed the most as the world warms, a new study ...
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden reservoir may drive brain cancer relapse in 65% of patients
All types of brain cancers collectively have a five-year survival rate of just 33%, according to the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. For a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma, ...
Phys.org / AI matches human teachers: Brief pre-lecture chat boosts students' brain synchrony and learning outcomes
Millions of students worldwide have long relied on self-paced learning through pre-recorded video lectures, a model that forms the backbone of massive open online courses (MOOCs) and large-scale online education. Since the ...
