Phys.org / Frozen Greenland middens preserve 4,500 years of farms, seal hunts and toilets
Greenland has a long and checkered history of human settlement: several Paleo-Inuit cultures since approximately 2,500 BCE, descendants of Vikings between the 10th and 15th centuries, and early modern Danes since 1721. All ...
Medical Xpress / Colorectal tumors use mitochondrial complex II to stockpile iron, but eliminating it causes cell death
Scientists know that colorectal cancer cells require large amounts of iron and that as cancer becomes more aggressive, the cells have even higher amounts of iron. Normal cells with high levels of iron would undergo a type ...
Medical Xpress / Teenagers whose parents are more distracted by phones may be more insecure
We worry about the time kids spend using screens—but what if the time their caregivers spend on phones is also harmful? Scientists working on digital mental health noticed increasing reports of teenagers struggling with their ...
Tech Xplore / How digital platforms are turning us into 'data subjects'
Every day, billions of people rely on technologies from Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple to navigate the world. We use them to communicate, work, shop, find information and stay entertained. But, according to media ...
Phys.org / Abstract algebra unlocks distinguishable states for quantum systems
Researchers around the world are racing to develop new quantum-based systems for sensing, communication, computing and control that have the promise of outperforming traditional systems. Creating stable, measurable, distinguishable ...
Tech Xplore / Next-generation database reduces AI hallucinations and improves accuracy by 78%
One of the greatest weaknesses of AI agents that read and understand vast amounts of enterprise data is "hallucination"—the generation of plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information. KAIST researchers have developed ...
Medical Xpress / Pakistani genomes reveal 34,000 knockouts that could explain why mouse-based drugs fail in humans
A comprehensive analysis of 173,303 genomes from Pakistan, published today in Nature, is upending how scientists understand human genetics and drug development. By identifying 34,000 people who are "human knockouts," with ...
Medical Xpress / Global clinical trial reveals safest, most effective antibiotics for golden staph bloodstream infections
An international clinical trial has identified the optimal antibiotics for golden staph bloodstream infections, a breakthrough set to reshape treatment for the life-threatening condition. The SNAP Trial found that the standard ...
Phys.org / A flexible graphene-based neural interface can 'speak and listen' to the brain
Neural interfaces are devices that can detect or modulate neuronal activity when placed in contact with the brain. They are already used to treat various conditions related to the nervous system. However, current technologies ...
Phys.org / Comb jelly embryos reveal embryonic signaling center shared across early animal evolution
In order for vertebrate embryos to develop their body axes, they require what is known as an embryonic signaling center. This group of cells provides the instructions that determine where up and down, left and right, and ...
Phys.org / Quantum hyperdimensional computing can work 500 times faster than other methods
Cleveland Clinic researchers are unlocking quantum computing's full potential through the creation of a new computing paradigm inspired by the human brain. Fabio Cumbo, Ph.D., research associate in the lab of Daniel Blankenberg, ...
Medical Xpress / How a 45‑minute family exercise session could boost thinking skills
Getting enough exercise is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Yet many people around the world are not active enough. Around 1 in 3 adults fail to meet the recommended levels of physical activity, ...
