Phys.org / An end to the battle between touchscreens and long fingernails is on the horizon
Anybody who has tried to use a smartphone or tablet with long nails knows that there's a learning curve. Rather than effortlessly tapping with a fingertip, you must awkwardly lay the pads of your fingers onto the screen. ...
Phys.org / Astrophysicists resolve 'negative superhump' conundrum of deep-space binary star systems
New UNLV-led research is helping to unravel clues to a cosmic mystery that has eluded scientists for decades. Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are binary star systems in which primary stars—incredibly dense and compact white ...
Phys.org / Study reshapes understanding of interaction between organelles in animal cells
Findings from a new University of Cincinnati study have reshaped the fundamental understanding of how a certain cell organelle prepares its environment for cellular digestion. The study, led by UC's Jiajie Diao, Ph.D. and ...
Medical Xpress / AI model reads cardiac MRI scans with near expert accuracy
A Penn Medicine–led team has developed a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence system that interprets cardiac MRI scans with performance approaching expert clinicians. Trained on more than 300,000 MRI video clips from ...
Phys.org / A sudden surge in luminosity: Stacked dyes hint at brighter organic semiconductors
In nature, a certain size is often a prerequisite for biomolecules to perform their specific functions. For example, for proteins or DNA to fulfill their vital tasks, they must be folded in a precise manner—and this requires ...
Medical Xpress / A new glioblastoma target: Blocking CD47 protein's tumor-driving role may slow growth
Australian researchers have uncovered a critical mechanism driving the growth and spread of glioblastoma—one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer—potentially paving the way for more effective treatments. ...
Medical Xpress / Form of infant leukemia caused by NUTM1 gene rearrangements found to be highly treatable
Despite a host of checks and balances that usually prevent harmful genetic mutations, sometimes mistakes happen, with serious consequences. Now, researchers from Japan elucidate how a common mutation underlying a common childhood ...
Medical Xpress / Existing medication can restore HIV-affected immune cells
HIV exhausts the body's immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment. Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden have conducted cell studies showing that an existing medication restores ...
Medical Xpress / Digital CBT shown to reduce cardiac-related anxiety and improve disease-specific health status following heart attack
Digital CBT treatment reduced cardiac-related anxiety and improved patients' quality of life and physical function after a heart attack. This is shown in a new randomized study published in the Journal of the American College ...
Phys.org / Eight amino acids may explain salamanders' reduced cold sensitivity
The ability to sense environmental temperature, which helps animals move away from suboptimal locations and find those with ideal temperatures, involves various channels on sensory neurons that open at specific temperature ...
Phys.org / Shorebird science and conservation collective shows big data can protect birds
New research from the Shorebird Science and Conservation Collective at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI), published in the journal Conservation Biology, provides a model for big data ...
Tech Xplore / AI on deck: Assessing impact of MLB's new ball-strike system
For 150 years, Major League Baseball (MLB) players and fans have accepted that an umpire missing a few balls and strikes is just part of the game. But this spring, MLB is rolling out an artificial intelligence-augmented camera ...
