Medical Xpress / Exercise improves hip arthritis pain and function, but gains may be too small
Exercise finds improvements in pain and function may fall short of what patients would notice in daily life, but more studies are needed to make firm conclusions, a new publication in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews ...
Medical Xpress / Imaging platform captures electrical activity from nearly 200 neurons deep in living brain tissue
The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior. But the electrical ...
Medical Xpress / Aspirin matches costlier blood thinners after hip and knee replacement surgery, major trial finds
Joint replacements are among the most common surgeries worldwide, and preventing blood clots is critical to recovery. A Dalhousie-led study published this month—one of the most robust of its kind to date—found that a straightforward ...
Phys.org / A source of extremely high-energy particles in the Milky Way identified
Cosmic rays are made primarily of protons with a few electrons sprinkled in, and they can reach energies even higher than what human-made accelerators can produce. Considering human-made accelerators, such as the Large Hadron ...
Phys.org / Truffles are on the menu for threatened marsupials returning to a World Heritage area
A new study from Edith Cowan University (ECU) confirms that the presence of fungal food resources is important for supporting the reintroduction of two threatened marsupials to the Shark Bay World Heritage area, which could ...
Medical Xpress / Brain waves once seen as noise could help build a biological model of reality
Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves. Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, creating what are called traveling brain waves, or neural traveling waves. These waves cause real differences ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed bridge points the way to greener construction
Concrete is the most widely used building material on Earth, and producing it is one of the largest single sources of carbon emissions. One promising way to reduce its environmental footprint is to 3D-print concrete, laying ...
Phys.org / NASA's Psyche mission delivers Mars flyby data, time-lapse video
The spacecraft aced its encounter with Mars. Now, mission scientists are studying a trove of data from the flyby in preparation for its arrival at asteroid Psyche in 2029.
Tech Xplore / Programmable metasurface turns keyboard commands into dynamic holograms in milliseconds
Metasurfaces are ultrathin optical components engineered with arrays of nanoscale structures that can control light in ways that are difficult for conventional optics. Unlike traditional optical components, which typically ...
Phys.org / Reptile fossil found in Brazil helps shed light on the common origins of dinosaurs and crocodiles
Long before dinosaurs ruled the continents and modern crocodiles first appeared, their ancestors were already going through a decisive phase in their evolutionary history. It was in this ancient world, shortly after the greatest ...
Phys.org / Decades-old strains reveal Brakhagea, a budding bacterial genus with bioactive potential
Some microorganisms that hold great promise for research have long lain dormant in historical collections. But only through new methods are their diversity and potential becoming apparent. The team led by Professor Christian ...
Phys.org / New 'demon' cavefish lineage discovered in Alabama cave
For decades, scientists have crawled through Bobcat Cave on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, searching its dark pools and underground passages for rare life. The cave is home to the endangered Alabama cave shrimp, making it ...
