Medical Xpress / Stereotypes of autism in TV and film may be linked to delayed diagnosis, study finds
Stereotypes of autistic men in films and TV programs may contribute to delayed diagnosis of autistic women and non-binary people, a new University of Stirling study has found. Research conducted by a group of autistic and ...
Tech Xplore / Chemical hardness engineering boosts perovskite tandem efficiency to 30.3%
All-perovskite tandem solar cells are promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaics, as they harvest sunlight more efficiently than single-junction devices and can be fabricated through low-temperature solution processing. ...
Medical Xpress / Why melatonin shouldn't be a bedtime go-to for kids
If your child has trouble falling asleep, you are not alone. And when a child does not sleep well, it can affect everyone's sleep in the home. Many families are looking for a simple solution, and melatonin often feels like ...
Phys.org / Portable sensor detects PFAS in water on-site, cutting need for costly lab tests
A new study has unveiled a new method to cost-effectively and practically test for "forever chemicals" in water, potentially revolutionizing environmental PFAS monitoring. Led by Griffith University, the novel PFAS detection ...
Phys.org / College students are noticing their AI‑smoothed writing sounds strong—and not like them
Generative AI has become a part of everyday student life in Canada. While institutions focus on misconduct and detection, a deeper shift is happening, one that concerns identity.
Phys.org / AI matches human teachers: Brief pre-lecture chat boosts students' brain synchrony and learning outcomes
Millions of students worldwide have long relied on self-paced learning through pre-recorded video lectures, a model that forms the backbone of massive open online courses (MOOCs) and large-scale online education. Since the ...
Phys.org / Webb and Hubble find massive star clusters emerge faster
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different ...
Medical Xpress / The peptide problem: Hype is outrunning the evidence
Health Canada recently warned Canadians not to buy or inject unauthorized peptide drugs sold online, naming products that include BPC-157, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, TB-500 and retatrutide.
Phys.org / What can singing mice say about human speech?
Speech is a crowning achievement of human evolution, the skill that separates us from every other animal. So, it would stand to reason that evolving this capability required some enormous leap in brain complexity. A study ...
Medical Xpress / Artery widening, not blockages, linked to common stroke
Scientists have uncovered new evidence that challenges long-held assumptions about the causes of a common type of stroke, offering clues as to why widely used treatments may not work. The study found that the buildup of fatty ...
Phys.org / Introducing ecotech, nature's innovation accelerator
An international research team has developed a roadmap for an emerging field of technology called ecotech, which aims to create scalable solutions to urgent environmental, social and economic challenges. The team describes ...
Phys.org / Dark proteome yields 1,785 new microproteins that could reshape disease research
Scientists have uncovered more than 1,700 new proteins that could have implications for human diseases, including cancer. Mostly very small, these proteins were found in what's called the "dark proteome," which covers gene ...
