Medical Xpress / Eco-friendly spiderweb-inspired pressure sensor for robotic hands may assist patients with Parkinson's disease
A high-performance biodegradable pressure sensor has been developed as a key technology for wearable AI health care robotics and user-friendly robotic systems.
Phys.org / Scientists enable DNA synthesis using only temperature instead of chemical reagents
"Complex chemical processes are essential for making DNA." This long-held assumption in the field of biotechnology has been overturned by a Korean research team. A KAIST research team has developed the world's first foundational ...
Medical Xpress / Lung transplant dramatically improves survival for patients with terminal lung cancer, study finds
A landmark Northwestern Medicine study published in JAMA suggests lung transplantation can significantly extend survival in select patients with advanced lung cancer.
Phys.org / Unraveling a long-standing solar mystery: The extreme thinness of the sun's tachocline layer
Researchers are closer to unraveling a longstanding solar mystery surrounding the extreme thinness of the sun's tachocline layer of strong shearing motion—a region believed to be critical for creating the violent eruptions ...
Medical Xpress / Epigenetic mapping provides deeper insight into leukemia
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Kyoto University in Japan have identified new subgroups of the blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia. The study, published in the journal Nature, shows that changes in the ...
Phys.org / Manganese risk in groundwater affects 200 million people, study shows
Manganese is an essential trace element. However, in excessive concentrations, the metal can cause health problems. Two Eawag researchers have now produced a global risk map for manganese in groundwater. Half of the world's ...
Tech Xplore / News outlets urge a judge to sanction OpenAI in a high-stakes AI copyright fight
The New York Times, the Daily News and other media outlets are asking a federal judge to impose sanctions on OpenAI, escalating a fight over artificial intelligence and copyright that could shape the future of a struggling ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover possible cause of muscle pain from widely used cholesterol medication
Millions of people rely on statins, a medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. But for some, the drugs come with an unwelcome trade-off: muscle pain, weakness and exercise intolerance ...
Phys.org / AI can predict how you'll respond to a survey—but that's not the same as understanding you
What makes people change their minds or their behavior? Social scientists spend a lot of time thinking about this question, and experiments are one of the most powerful ways to answer it.
Phys.org / New ultrathin lens focuses light into an optical needle
Researchers have created a special flat lens that shapes light into an optical needle—a thin beam that stays tightly focused over a long distance. Combining this lens, which is about 7 microns thick, with optical coherence ...
Medical Xpress / New study highlights potential challenges for using automated AI tools in health care
In experiments in which physicians made decisions about treating hypothetical patients, the physicians tended to trust incorrect advice presented as being generated by artificial intelligence (AI), even after being given ...
Phys.org / Why Europe's trees are dying
In Europe, trees are increasingly dying prematurely. A new study by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) on French forests now shows that it is not only drought but also unusually warm ...
