Phys.org / Capturing gravity waves: Scientists break 'decades of gridlock' in climate modeling
Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, fluid motion and observed data, hundreds of these models agree that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ...
Phys.org / Glimpsing the quantum vacuum: Particle spin correlations offer insight into how visible matter emerges from 'nothing'
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key feature of virtual particles ...
Medical Xpress / Sweet reset: How sugar tastings help the brain quiet old memories
Memories must be flexible so animals can adapt when the world changes. FMI neuroscientists have found that in fruit flies, simply tasting a sugar reward again can weaken all previous associated memories. This process may ...
Phys.org / When gigantism shapes the diet of a superpredator: The Japanese giant salamander's spectacular transition
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Liège on a large population of Japanese giant salamanders—one of the largest amphibians in the world—reveals that above a certain size, a spectacular transition occurs ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool predicts brain age, cancer survival and other disease signals from unlabeled brain MRIs
Mass General Brigham investigators have developed a robust new artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model that is capable of analyzing brain MRI datasets to perform numerous medical tasks, including identifying brain age, ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells linked to Epstein-Barr virus may play a role in multiple sclerosis
Researchers at UC San Francisco have uncovered a new clue to how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease that affects nearly one million Americans. The work found ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI helps soft robot arms switch tasks and stay stable
Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new scenarios on the fly without needing retraining or sacrificing functionality. ...
Medical Xpress / Neural implant approach regrows surrounding skull, ensuring safe access to the brain
A study led by Dartmouth Engineering professors demonstrates a possible new technique for connecting electronic implants with the surface of the brain, as well as a new method for ensuring safe, long-term medical access to ...
Medical Xpress / Good for the land, but what about the farmer? How Agri-Environment Schemes impact mental health in France and Ireland
Trinity research shows that depending on how schemes are designed and delivered, well-being impacts can be positive or negative. Time spent in nature and peer discussion groups are key to fostering positive well-being outcomes.
Medical Xpress / Large-scale study analyzes the impact of climate on Legionnaires' disease in Catalonia
Legionella is a bacterium that occurs naturally in some aquatic environments and can proliferate in artificial installations such as pipework, cooling towers and ornamental fountains. When dispersed in the form of aerosols, ...
Medical Xpress / Post-Dobbs state abortion bans tied to higher postpartum depression risk in low‑income communities
A new national study of Medicaid enrollees finds that postpartum depression (PPD) rose significantly among women and adolescents living in low-income areas of states that banned or severely restricted abortion following the ...
Tech Xplore / Study identifies key elements that determine impact of AI on jobs
Research by academics at King's College London and the AI Objectives Institute has shed light on why what matters is not just how much of a job AI can do, but which parts. Dr. Bouke Klein Teeselink and Daniel Carey analyzed ...
