Medical Xpress / Trunk stability emerges as stronger balance marker than hip strength in older adults
Maintaining balance is essential for preserving functional independence during aging. A study led by researchers from Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) and ISABIAL suggests that trunk stability may play a particularly ...
Tech Xplore / New tool identifies the sources of fake videos
Artificial intelligence can generate videos so realistic that distinguishing them from authentic footage is becoming increasingly difficult. But a computer science team led by researchers at UC Riverside has developed a tool ...
Phys.org / Simulating multiple financial risks at once can better predict resilience against future shocks
Could the 2008 financial crisis strike again? How would today's banks react? One way for government regulators to findout is to stress-test large financial institutions: analyze how their balance sheets would weather possible ...
