Tech Xplore / AI underwater robots can now track diver stress via exhaled bubbles
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind AI system that allows underwater companion robots to monitor a diver's health in real time simply by "watching" their exhaled bubbles.
Medical Xpress / Flawed studies linking hormone therapy to breast cancer made doctors reluctant to prescribe it for menopause relief
Although menopause is not a new phenomenon by any means, the past few years of what some have called the "menopause moment" have brought it to the forefront of the national conversation.
Phys.org / New research shows the Golgi complex is involved in DNA repair control
Our DNA is under constant threat. Chemicals, radiation and the everyday errors of cell division all damage it, and if left unrepaired, this can lead to diseases such as cancer. Cells invest heavily in finding and fixing these ...
Phys.org / The surprising chemical footprint of your clothes
When trying to make more sustainable clothing choices, many consumers follow a simple rule: Choose natural fibers over synthetic ones. Cotton instead of polyester. Wool instead of acrylic. Linen instead of nylon.
Phys.org / Christmas in July: Engineers capture gigapixel 3D video of snowflakes
For the first time, researchers can witness nanometer-scale thickness changes across a melting snowflake with a compact, lensless chip that captures gigapixel video at 30 frames per second across centimeter-scale fields.
Medical Xpress / Stretchable antenna keeps wearable health sensors in tune with human health
Wearable health monitors are designed to move with the body. But for many devices, movement creates a problem: The more a person bends, stretches, reaches or runs, the harder it can be for the device to keep a stable wireless ...
Phys.org / AI-powered camera system offers low-cost way to monitor bumblebees, potentially other insects
Researchers have developed a low-cost, semi-automated, AI-driven method that uses remote cameras to survey bumblebees and potentially other insects. The new tool could have important implications for efforts to conserve declining ...
Medical Xpress / Early surgery for bacterial eye infection offers hope to patients
Early vitrectomy surgery for acute endophthalmitis, a rare eye condition, may potentially benefit patients' vision more than the current antibiotic-first approach, according to a study led by researchers at University College ...
Phys.org / 'Dead stars' may have surprisingly healthy appetites
"Dead stars" known as white dwarfs have already shown the potential to help us better understand how planetary systems, including our own solar system, take shape and evolve. Now, research from the University of Michigan ...
Phys.org / Meet WOMBATlite, the model helping researchers follow the ocean's carbon
The ocean absorbs roughly a quarter of humanity's carbon dioxide emissions each year. Understanding how that happens, and how it might change, is essential for predicting our climate's future. To do that, scientists need ...
Phys.org / New shrimpgoby species named after its colors and 'The Sunrise of Java'
Researchers have described a new species of shrimpgoby from the coastal waters off Banyuwangi, East Java, and given it a name that pays tribute to both its fiery coloration and its birthplace.
Tech Xplore / Computer scientists design a cyberattack to prevent cyberattacks
Protecting sensitive, precision-timed computing systems requires understanding the nature of cyberthreats. So researchers from Washington State University teamed up with experts at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs ...
