Medical Xpress / Oral therapy enables at-home treatment for acute myeloid leukemia
For years, treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia—an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow—has required injections administered in a clinic for five to seven consecutive days each month, in addition ...
Phys.org / Cloud-tested quantum noise model predicts superconducting qubit errors with sevenfold better accuracy
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have developed a practical, comprehensive noise-modeling framework for a popular class of ...
Medical Xpress / Why one diabetes drug may sharply cut heart failure risk for genetically vulnerable patients
Rare genetic variants known to cause cardiomyopathy, an inherited cause of a weak heart, can increase the risk of patients developing heart failure. However, new research from Mass General Brigham Heart and Vascular Institute ...
Phys.org / Sharks, seals, hunters, tourists: How wildlife‑human interactions matter for conservation
Our relationships with wildlife are dynamic. They can change rapidly and unexpectedly.
Phys.org / Scientists discover a 3.5-billion-year-old asteroid impact on the moon
The first few billion years of Earth's history saw the rise of life, the atmosphere and the oceans. Still, that time is shrouded in mystery: Not many rocks remain that preserve a record of those early iterations of our modern ...
Tech Xplore / AI worldview convergence claim weakens as high-dimensional math skews similarity scores
Two years ago, researchers at MIT proposed a provocative idea: As AI models become more powerful, they begin to see the world in the same way. But not everyone was convinced, and now EPFL scientists have shown that the picture ...
Tech Xplore / A low-tech solution to the 6G problem—metacrystal panels offer cheap way to guide wireless signals around corners
Basements, tunnels, large buildings—a weak Wi-Fi or mobile signal in these hard-to-reach places is frustrating. The usual solution is to add more electronics like routers, repeaters and base stations. Yet, as we move towards ...
Medical Xpress / Consuming a moderate amount of carbs could lower cardiovascular risk while also keeping 'bad' cholesterol down
Many people cross bread, pasta and potatoes off their menus, hoping to drop pounds and improve their heart health. But there's a controversy behind this multibillion-dollar wellness phenomenon: Research is divided on carbohydrate-restricted ...
Phys.org / These underwater 'living pink rocks' help store carbon: Scientists just found four new species
Rhodoliths may look like small rocks on the seafloor, but they are actually living algae that create habitats for marine life and contribute to long-term carbon storage. A new study found that the deeper, low-light waters ...
Phys.org / How plants survive constant DNA damage: Newly identified repair protein protects growth-critical stem cells
Similar to the way DNA damage can contribute to human diseases such as cancer, it can also disrupt growth, development and survival in plants. Every day, plants endure environmental stresses such as sunlight, radiation, drought ...
Phys.org / Why are sloths slow? It's in their DNA
Sloths are the slowest mammals on the planet, but living in dense jungles has made them notoriously difficult to study. For the first time, scientists have now sequenced and analyzed the two-toed sloth genome and revealed ...
Medical Xpress / Video: Wildfire smoke's effects on childhood asthma
Last summer, smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketed Vermont, darkening the sunset and significantly reducing air quality. But Anna Maassel, a Ph.D. candidate in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources ...
