For most women, the body begins to change dramatically in their 40s or 50s. This transition, known as menopause, is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, marking the end of the reproductive years. While ...
Tech Xplore / Seven years of testing exposed hidden trade-offs in MLB's AI strike zone
Training artificial intelligence to enforce even seemingly straightforward rules—like balls and strikes in Major League Baseball (MLB)—is a messy, dynamic process that takes time and careful evaluation of the technology in ...
Phys.org / Machine learning to predict how fast biodegradable plastics break down in nature
Testing how quickly a biodegradable plastic actually breaks down in the environment can take months, sometimes years, of lab work. A new study from the Agricultural University of Athens, offers a faster alternative: a machine-learning ...
Phys.org / Citizen science could grow beyond data collection under 10 proposed recommendations
Citizen science is booming and could play a much greater role in tackling climate change, reef health, biodiversity and public health challenges by involving members of the public throughout the research process, according ...
Tech Xplore / Why cryogenic sensors may switch to light: New laser moves data fast with less heat
FPAs are image sensors that convert infrared light into electrical signals to produce real-time thermal images and are widely used in applications such as surveillance, astronomy and industrial monitoring. Advances in cryogenic ...
Medical Xpress / Platinum TALEN enables mass production of engineered cancer-fighting T cells
Hiroshima University researchers have demonstrated a proof of concept for the mass production of genome-edited T cells that can be used to treat malignant tumors, using a genetic engineering technique called Platinum TALEN.
Medical Xpress / How TV drama shapes social maps in brain, and why conflict stands out
When watching a drama, we quickly learn who is friends with whom—and, just as importantly, who stands against whom. But how does the brain organize this web of alliances, rivalries and conflicts? Researchers from the University ...
Phys.org / Bumblebees exposed to up to 7 times as much toxic metal as honeybees
Bumblebees collect up to seven times the amount of toxic heavy metals as honeybees even when foraging in the same environment, new research from the University of Cambridge has found. Exposure to these metals can affect everything ...
