Medical Xpress / Machine learning models could help diagnose ALS earlier through blood biomarkers
Using machine learning models, researchers at Michigan Medicine have identified a potential way to diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, earlier from a blood sample, a study suggests.
Tech Xplore / AI-powered robotic dog sees, remembers and responds with human-like precision in search-and-rescue missions
Meet the robotic dog with a memory like an elephant and the instincts of a seasoned first responder.
Medical Xpress / Violence against women and children among top health threats, global study reveals
Sexual violence against children and intimate partner violence against women are two of the most devastating yet persistently underrecognized global health challenges and rank among the top risks for mortality and morbidity ...
Phys.org / Can smart greenhouses bring back food production in cities?
Sydney, like many other Australian cities, has a long history of urban farming. Market gardens, oyster fisheries and wineries on urban fringe once supplied fresh food to city markets.
Phys.org / The people building sustainability—without a clearly defined role
As sustainability demands grow, sustainability professionals—along with many other groups—are increasingly expected to help drive the transition within the construction sector. Yet their roles are often both unclear and ...
Phys.org / Mini-vortices in nanopores accelerate ion transport for faster supercapacitor charging
Tiny cavities in energy storage devices form small vortices that help with charging, according to a research team led by TU Darmstadt. This previously unknown phenomenon could advance the development of faster storage devices.
Phys.org / Celebrated Rutland mosaic depicts 'long-lost' Troy story connecting Roman Britain to the ancient classical world
The team behind what has been described as "one of the most significant mosaics discovered in the UK" have revealed that it depicts an alternative "long-lost" telling of the Trojan War. The paper is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Molten metal nano-droplets reveal new hybrid state of matter where solids meet liquids
Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including the formation of an unusual ...
Phys.org / How building with Lego can help teens talk about life's big questions
If you're thinking about buying Christmas presents for children, chances are a Lego set isn't too far from your mind. The endless creativity that Lego bricks present means they can be used for far more than following instructions ...
Phys.org / Laser draws made-to-order magnetic landscapes
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, have for the first time succeeded in using existing laser technology to ...
Phys.org / The fossil bird that choked to death on rocks, and no one knows why
A fossil only tells part of the story. When an animal's body is preserved as a fossil, there are often pieces missing, and even a perfectly preserved body doesn't tell the whole story of how that animal behaved, how it lived, ...
Phys.org / Surprising nanoscopic heat traps found in diamonds
Diamond is famous in material science for being the best natural heat conductor on Earth—but new research reveals that, at the atomic scale, it can briefly trap heat in unexpected ways. The findings could influence how ...
