Medical Xpress / Fish-inspired sensor tracks how human heart tissue responds to disease and treatment
Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ripples they create. The team has created a wireless, noninvasive sensing platform that can biomechanically ...
Phys.org / An iron-driven chain reaction may trigger mass death of harmful algae blooms
Over recent decades, harmful algal blooms have become increasingly common. These blooms often consist of bacteria called "cyanobacteria" in freshwater ecosystems. They can produce debilitating toxins, suffocate marine life ...
Phys.org / New study of 2 million online posts shows persistent anti‑Jew and anti‑Muslim hate in Australia
Australia has spent much of the past two years responding to anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim hate as separate problems. But our latest research suggests they have something important in common.
Phys.org / Isolation as a form of discipline: How should schools manage poor student behavior?
Last week, a group of parents strongly criticized prestigious Victorian private school Geelong Grammar for using isolation as a form of discipline during a yearlong boarding school program. The disciplinary action was taken ...
Phys.org / The rise of space AI might explain the Fermi paradox
Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuing to have a disruptive impact on ever more parts of humanity. But what does it mean in the long run? A new paper, available as a preprint on arXiv from Austrian researcher Sergey Ivliev, ...
Medical Xpress / Intestinal cells starve Salmonella of essential nutrients, revealing new tactic in infection defense
Salmonella, an infection that causes diarrhea, fever and abdominal pain, is the most common form of bacterial food poisoning in the U.S., sickening more than a million people each year. Although most healthy people recover ...
Phys.org / Ultraluminous X-ray source in Whale galaxy investigated for spectral and timing variability
Astronomers from Germany and Turkey have analyzed available data from various space telescopes to investigate an ultraluminous X-ray source designated X-4, which is located in the nearby galaxy NGC 4631. Results of the new ...
Medical Xpress / AI-guided pathology analysis can help predict immunotherapy response in rare cancers
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of tumor biopsies can predict responses to immunotherapy in a study of patients with rare ...
Phys.org / Coal pollution reaches one of Earth's most remote mountain regions
The Himalayas are often seen as one of Earth's great natural barriers, separating the heavily populated and industrialized regions of South Asia from the remote Tibetan Plateau. But new research, published in Geophysical ...
Medical Xpress / Chain reaction in cells may be driving low energy in ME/CFS patients
Griffith University researchers have identified a key immune cell dysfunction in people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), offering new clues about the condition.
Medical Xpress / Some patient groups are far more vulnerable to near-perfect privacy attacks from medical AI
From detecting pneumonia on a chest X-ray to assessing whether a dark spot on the skin is benign or malignant, medical AI systems are playing an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis. Unfortunately, the models ...
Medical Xpress / Financial strain may affect health outcomes for people with COPD
The financial cost of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) negatively affects people's mental health and leads them to forgo medications, delay or avoid medical care, and alter major financial plans, according to ...
