Medical Xpress / Hidden muscle fat poses danger to heart and metabolism, deep learning model reveals
Using a deep learning model to analyze the composition of large muscles on MRI, German researchers found that the proportions of intermuscular fat and lean muscle mass were associated with high blood pressure and unhealthy ...
Phys.org / Why Kamchatka's magnitude 8.8 earthquake brought a smaller tsunami—and where risk may remain
On July 29, 2025, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. It was so powerful that it ranks as the sixth-largest earthquake ever recorded by modern instruments. Using this giant earthquake as a learning ...
Phys.org / How oak trees outwit their predators
Spring in the forest: Many insects, particularly caterpillars, hatch just when the trees' nutrient-rich leaves are still young and soft. This means they find a table laden with food and can start eating straight away. If ...
Medical Xpress / AI model analyzes body composition to predict health risks
Researchers used AI to analyze whole-body MRI scans from more than 66,000 participants to create the most detailed reference map to date of how fat and muscle are distributed in the human body across age, sex, and height. ...
Phys.org / Creative assessments address inequalities in students' performance, new research shows
Traditional university essays may become a thing of the past, as new research shows "authentic assessments" can eliminate the awarding gap between students of different ethnic backgrounds.
Medical Xpress / Understanding what stereotypies are—And what they aren't
Olivia was around 5 months old when her parents, Danielle and Brendan Collins, noticed she was making unusual movements. "She would redirect her gaze up and hold it there," says Danielle. "She would also stiffen her body." ...
Medical Xpress / Study surveys dysfunctional gene splicing in metastatic kidney disease
Researchers at City of Hope and TGen (part of City of Hope) have identified a significant correlation between a tumor's "splicing burden" and its clinical response to treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). ...
Medical Xpress / Biodegradable, all-metal microrobots could transform drug delivery and biopsy procedures
A swarm of tiny, shape-changing, all-metal robots might someday deliver drugs and capture biopsy samples painlessly and then safely dissolve without the need for extraction, according to a study presented at Digestive Disease ...
Phys.org / A longstanding quantum roadblock just fell, opening existing fiber networks to ultra-secure light signals
Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have broken a longstanding barrier by managing to send single photons—that can't be copied or split and thus are secure—in the network of optical fibers we already have. This opens ...
Phys.org / Why endless scrolling gets harder to stop: Three drivers of problematic internet use revealed
Why do so many people lose control over their internet use? While age limits for social media are being debated, many adults also spend hours online every day. For some, this becomes a burden, affecting mental health, daily ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking a cellular inflammation process could result in effective therapy for pancreatic cancer
Scientists at The Wistar Institute and clinical researchers from ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute have discovered a vulnerability in pancreatic cancer that could be targeted as a potential ...
Phys.org / Seaweed integration boosts efficiency and cuts waste in aquaculture, study finds
A new study found that cultivating seaweed species alongside marine finfish in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) operations, where seaweeds receive nutrient-rich effluent from fish production, can significantly ...
