Phys.org / Scientists use AI to interpret the sun's acoustic heartbeat
A new AI-based approach that can "hear" inside the sun could give vital signs of the solar disturbances that have significant effects in near-Earth space and on human activities. The solar cycle is an approximate 11-year ...
Medical Xpress / When uncertainty hits, people with higher autistic traits reach for words that may calm anxiety
We feel more anxious when facing uncertain or unpredictable situations, but for those who score higher on autistic traits, this anxiety tends to be stronger. Published in Scientific Reports, a new study suggests uncertainty-driven ...
Phys.org / 'Nature's algorithm' found in Chinese money plants
Look up at the clouds. What do you see? A sailboat? A seahorse? Your great-aunt Rosemary? As humans, we're prone to seeing patterns where they don't actually exist. This behavior is so common there's a name for it: apophenia. ...
Phys.org / Giving X-ray vision a sense of direction
Whether in tooth enamel or in nanomaterials made of silicon, the orientation of tiny internal structures often determines the properties of a material. A new X-ray method can even make this nano-order visible when the structures ...
Medical Xpress / AI-powered handheld microscope aims to spot cancer earlier
Researchers at Rice University and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a compact, artificial intelligence-powered imaging device that could transform how clinicians detect cancer. The technology, ...
Medical Xpress / WHO confirms eight cases of Andes hantavirus in outbreak
Eight people infected in the hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship have tested positive for the Andes virus, the only strain transmitted between humans, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
Phys.org / Wristwatch-like device enables assessment of health risks for astronauts on mission to the moon
Just a few hours before the Orion spacecraft crossed the sky en route to the moon on April 1, mechatronics engineer Rodrigo Trevisan Okamoto received confirmation he had been waiting for since the Artemis 2 mission was announced ...
Phys.org / Molecular glue could hijack cells' natural machinery to help treat diseases
Proteins do most of the work in our body's cells. But when a protein is too active or does not function properly, it can lead to disease or other health problems. Researchers from the University of Toronto have discovered ...
Medical Xpress / Tumor gene changes linked to shorter gallbladder cancer survival, analysis shows
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an extremely aggressive biliary tract malignancy characterized by silent early progression, late-stage diagnosis and poor prognosis. It is one of the most lethal gastrointestinal cancers, with ...
Medical Xpress / Paired antiviral approach pushes SARS-CoV-2 toward near-complete loss of infectivity
A new study led by researchers at the University of Malaga proposes a new antiviral strategy against SARS-CoV-2—the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 disease—based on a treatment that combines two complementary approaches ...
Phys.org / A rare sanctuary in Congo looks after baby bonobos away from poaching threat
Micheline Nzonzi cradled a small and sleepy bonobo, an orphan whose life she will try to save over the next three years or so.
Tech Xplore / Smart AI gives electric vehicle batteries 23% longer life—without increasing the charging time
Fast charging shortens the life of vehicle batteries, but is necessary on longer journeys with electric vehicles. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have now developed a new AI method that adapts fast ...
