Phys.org / Two-step genome editing enables creation of full-length humanized mouse models
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory landscapes often diverge, ...
Medical Xpress / Why we need to talk about the root causes of food insecurity
While it's true that many Canadians would benefit from more exercise and from improving the quality of their diet, research shows that society often blames nutrition problems and food insecurity on personal choices like lack ...
Phys.org / Living together with differences: Mathematical model shows how to reduce social friction without forcing consensus
Opinion polarization is often considered as the primary driver of social friction, leading to exhaustive efforts to force a consensus. However, new research suggests a more pragmatic goal: reducing the friction of disagreement ...
Tech Xplore / A simple coating that makes high-energy Li-ion batteries last longer
Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more energy than the graphite used today. However, silicon expands and shrinks dramatically during charging ...
Phys.org / How every generation uses AI, from boomers to Gen Z
Artificial intelligence or AI is no longer a future concept—it's already shaping how we work, learn and live.
Phys.org / Hubble observes ghostly cloud alive with star formation
While this eerie NASA Hubble Space Telescope image may look ghostly, it's actually full of new life. Lupus 3 is a star-forming cloud about 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius.
Phys.org / Detecting single-electron qubits: Microwaves could probe quantum states above liquid helium
One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above liquid helium. But it wasn't clear how data in this form could be read easily.
Medical Xpress / Pediatricians offer advice on dealing with warts
Warts are small, firm bumps on the skin caused by viruses from the human papillomavirus (HPV) family. Warts are common among school-aged children but can affect people of any age.
Tech Xplore / New RoboReward dataset and models automate robotic training and evaluation
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has opened new possibilities for the development of robots that can reliably tackle various everyday tasks. Training and evaluating these algorithms, however, typically ...
Medical Xpress / Most elderly cancer patients receive inappropriate drugs until final months, study finds
Analysis of the medical records of 1,269 elderly patients with advanced cancer by researchers at the University of Tsukuba has found that more than 70% were prescribed potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and that ...
Tech Xplore / Cyberattacks can trigger societal crises, scientists warn
Cyberattacks can wreak havoc on the systems they target, yet their impact often spreads far beyond technical failures, potentially triggering crises that engulf entire communities, a new study argues.
Medical Xpress / How realistic is Mattel's new autistic Barbie?
Autistic people are so rarely depicted in media and entertainment, it's no wonder most people don't really understand much about the neurotype.
