If ringing in the new year came too quickly, you're not alone. Time does seem to move faster as you get older.
Medical Xpress / CRISPR screen uncovers hundreds of genes required for brain development
Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Prof. Sagiv Shifman from ...
Dialog / Infrastructure design is the hidden architecture of disaster risk
When we talk about disasters, we often default to the language of nature. We describe storms as "unprecedented," floods as "once-in-a-century," and heat waves as "record-breaking." While these descriptors may be technically ...
Tech Xplore / Reinforcement learning accelerates model-free training of optical AI systems
Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive optical networks, in particular, enable large-scale parallel computation through the use of passive ...
Medical Xpress / Remote Alzheimer's testing: At-home blood tests can accurately detect key biomarkers
A new international study has demonstrated that Alzheimer's disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to laboratories without refrigeration ...

Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, according to a recent narrative review.
Tech Xplore / New study urges stronger AI safeguards to protect worker safety and well-being
New research from Flinders University highlights the need for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to complement—not impede—worker safety and welfare in workplaces.
Medical Xpress / Lifting cancer's invisibility cloak: Dying tumor cells alert the immune system
The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or cancerous cells. But tumor cells develop many features that help them hide from the immune system to ...
Phys.org / Dual-layer filtration system blocks nanoplastics release from landfill leachate
UBC Okanagan researchers have created a new two-layer membrane filtration system that can significantly reduce the amount of micro and nanoplastics that leak from landfills into local water basins.
Phys.org / Survey across 153 countries links the effects of LGBT-phobia and economic insecurity
