Medical Xpress / Critical care doctor says patients' reliance on chatbots reflects deeper problems in health care
In a new commentary published in Annals of Internal Medicine, Robert B. Shpiner, MD, a clinical professor of pulmonary and critical care at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, argues that the growing use of artificial ...
Phys.org / Private mission launches to extend life of out-of-gas communication satellites
A two-armed space robot blasted off on a private salvage operation Tuesday to slap life-extending jetpacks on old satellites running low on fuel thousands of miles up.
Phys.org / Forest productivity, not rapid warming, shapes Northern Eurasia's carbon sink
Northern Eurasia contains about 20% of the world's forests and plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby acting as a major carbon sink. However, understanding the region's ...
Medical Xpress / Natural compounds against sarcoma: Which one shows the greatest potential?
Curcumin, berberine and other plant-derived compounds have long attracted scientific interest because of their anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. A new study by researchers from Wroclaw Medical University and the ...
Medical Xpress / Early respiratory infections may explain half of younger siblings' earnings gap
Younger siblings are often portrayed as reckless, scatterbrained and less put-together than their older siblings. Social science researchers have underpinned these portrayals with data, showing that younger siblings obtain, ...
Phys.org / Fields medal awarded to four young mathematicians
The world of mathematics handed out its most prestigious awards Thursday at a unique moment for the field, as it faces pressure from AI's potential to outpace human calculation.
Phys.org / New methods for removing harmful nitrates from drinking water identified
Nitrate contamination of drinking water poses a major health concern, particularly in agricultural communities where fertilizers, livestock manure and septic systems can leach nitrates into groundwater. Many rural households ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover hidden gateways that allow the brain to clear waste
The brain continuously produces metabolic waste that must be removed to maintain healthy function. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a central role in this process by carrying away proteins such as amyloid-β, phosphorylated ...
Phys.org / Jellyfish nebula may be the scene of two stars going supernova
The star that formed the Jellyfish nebula may have had a partner star that exploded 100,000 years earlier, according to international researchers, who say that this may be the first known discovery of a binary star system ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny memory switches could shrink 5G and 6G radio-frequency chips
Mobile phones today handle far more wireless signals and services than earlier generations. The same is true of the sophisticated equipment behind mobile networks, such as base stations, and emerging technologies such as ...
Phys.org / World's first 'zinc oxide spin qubit' could advance scalable quantum devices
A research team led by SKKU professor Hosung Seo of the Department of Quantum Information Engineering and the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology, working with the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University ...
Phys.org / Reflooding the Aral Sea could prevent massive CO₂ emissions
About 90% of the Aral Sea has dried up. The exposed sediments have already released enormous amounts of carbon dioxide (748 megatons) since 1960. However, through restoration, the lake could once again become a carbon sink. ...
