Medical Xpress / Study reveals struggles precede psychosis risk by years, suggesting prevention opportunities
A groundbreaking international study of over 1,000 adolescents and young adults at risk for psychosis has found that social and academic difficulties emerge years before clinical symptoms appear, offering a critical window ...
Medical Xpress / Primary care home visits for older adults declined after payment policy changes and COVID-19 in Ontario, Canada
In Ontario, primary care home visits, which help older adults who are homebound or have difficulty getting to a clinic, increased during the 2010s but declined after a 2019 policy change reduced payment incentives and the ...
Phys.org / Magnetic 'sweet spots' enable optimal operation of hole spin qubits
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various computational problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. These systems process information ...
Phys.org / Unlocking defect-free graphene electrodes for transparent electronics
Transparent electrodes transmit light while conducting electricity and are increasingly important in bioelectronic and optoelectronic devices. Their combination of high optical transparency, low electrical resistance, and ...
Medical Xpress / Study compares ways to support opioid deprescribing in primary care
A study published in The Annals of Family Medicine examined how different types of support for 32 primary care clinics affected opioid prescribing and overall costs using a 2 x 2 design. Clinics were divided into four groups: ...
Phys.org / Unified framework sorts spacetime fluctuations for quantum-gravity experiments
A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime fluctuations"—tiny, random distortions in the fabric of spacetime that appear in many attempts to ...
Phys.org / The many faces of monster galaxies
Some galaxies in the early universe were absolute powerhouses, churning out stars at rates that would dwarf the Milky Way's modest stellar production. These "monster galaxies," buried deep in dust between 10 and 12 billion ...
Phys.org / Neanderthals took reusable toolkits with them on high-altitude treks through the Alps
When Neanderthals in Italy were crossing the Alps, it's likely they took refuge in high-altitude bear caves. A new study of stone tools in Caverna Generosa, a cave sitting 1,450 meters up in the mountains, found that these ...
Medical Xpress / The face scars less than the body: Study explains why
Tweaking a pattern of wound healing established millions of years ago may enable scar-free injury repair after surgery or trauma, Stanford Medicine researchers have found. If results from their study, which was conducted ...
Tech Xplore / AI models mirror human 'us vs. them' social biases, study shows
Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored ...
Phys.org / Edison's 1879 bulb experiments may have unintentionally produced graphene
What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According to a recent publication from the lab of Rice University's James Tour in ACS Nano, it could be graphene—an ...
Medical Xpress / Menopause linked to loss of gray matter in the brain, poorer mental health and sleep disturbance
Menopause is linked to reductions in gray matter volume in key brain regions as well as increased levels of anxiety and depression and difficulties with sleep, according to new research from the University of Cambridge. The ...
