Medical Xpress / Two hours of sleep restored: Researchers make Alzheimer's breakthrough
There's a small fire isolated in your kitchen. If you had the right tool, you might be able to put it out. But before you can, the sprinklers turn on and flood your entire house. An automatic response to an issue has now ...
Medical Xpress / What does resilience show about healthy aging after trauma?
A landmark study that started in 2021 to learn about wartime trauma among Vietnamese Americans has received an additional $13.3 in funding to delve deeper into how trauma affects aging and brain health.
Phys.org / Creating a map of coral distribution with environmental DNA
To track the impacts of environmental change and enable conservation efforts, we must first understand the composition of our ecosystems. A new online resource provides a comprehensive overview of hard coral distribution ...
Phys.org / Amazon soy pact collapse could add 1.4 million hectares of deforestation by 2036
The collapse of a landmark Amazon soy pact will drive at least 1.4 million hectares (3.5 million acres) of extra deforestation in Brazil over the next decade, releasing carbon emissions equal to Canada's annual output, according ...
Phys.org / Two atmospheric patterns may explain why some heat waves in Europe persist
Many parts of Western Europe are currently wilting under a heat wave. These blistering spells can last for a week or more, and although they are common in most summers, it is difficult to predict how long they will last.
Phys.org / DNA origami turns secret messages into nano–Morse code that acts as multiplayer molecular encryption
Mathematics has always been at the core of securing information. From online banking to government communications, modern society relies on cryptography, in which complex mathematical algorithms transform readable information ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies chrononutrition as a viable approach for postpartum weight loss
New research has found that eating habits that align most closely with a woman's existing routine show promise for losing postpartum baby weight, especially for mothers earlier in the postpartum period. The study identified ...
Medical Xpress / Dendrites may be key to learning and memory, study suggests
Branchlike structures called dendrites that extend from neurons appear to make their own computations independent of the cell body, helping individual brain cells store memories of the past, respond to the present and anticipate ...
Phys.org / Scientists create stable 'boron graphene' and uncover quantum liquid crystal state
Graphene has long been regarded as one of the most promising materials for future electronics, but its relatively weak electron interactions have limited its potential for applications such as high-temperature superconductivity. ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning improves identification of asthma risk in children
A machine learning tool that analyzes information already captured in a child's electronic health record helped pediatricians more accurately assess asthma risk in standardized clinical case scenarios, according to a pilot ...
Phys.org / Shared fandom as undervalued social 'medicine' for division, isolation
The state of the American social fabric—enormous, diverse and rent by stark partisan divides—is daunting enough that it can be hard to think about, let alone try to mend. At the Harvard Kennedy School, two social scientists ...
Phys.org / Physicists create first room-temperature quantum material
Quantum materials could transform technologies ranging from powerful computers and ultrasecure communications to advanced energy systems. But there has always been one major obstacle.
