Medical Xpress / Sweat-powered fingertip patch accurately monitors Parkinson's medication
Engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, wearable fingertip patch that continuously tracks a patient's Parkinson's disease medication levels through sweat. The device ...
Phys.org / Highly tunable electro-optic isolator achieves one-way light flow on photonic chips
Integrated photonic devices—tiny circuits that use light instead of electrons—are becoming increasingly important for scalable photonics technologies and high-bandwidth communications. They are particularly valuable for managing ...
Phys.org / Listening to living soil may help people reconnect with nature
Strengthening the bond between people and nature—that is the aim of a German–Dutch EU project involving Oldenburg. The reasoning behind this is that people who feel they are part of the environment are more likely to campaign ...
Tech Xplore / Inspired by how children learn, new AI framework learns to theorize the world from observations
A KAIST research team has developed a next-generation world model, an internal model an AI builds to understand and predict the world, that learns executable theories from observation alone.
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.
Phys.org / Scientists pinpoint where cells first begin copying DNA
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and collaborators have uncovered one of the earliest steps in DNA replication: the moment a cell first opens its DNA to begin making a copy of its genome. The findings, ...
Phys.org / Invasive species hit the Global South significantly harder than previously assumed
Invasive alien species are among the world's leading drivers of species extinction. However, previous global assessments of the geographic distribution of this damage suffered from a systematic "research bias": Because significantly ...
Medical Xpress / Blood marker for protein misfolding outperforms P-tau 217 as early predictor of Alzheimer's disease
A study led by Professor Klaus Gerwert (PRODI, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany) has determined that the misfolding of the amyloid beta protein is the strongest blood-based predictor of Alzheimer's disease in the asymptomatic ...
Phys.org / AI tools for predicting protein folding produce chemically impossible structures and need human oversight
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have found that today's leading artificial intelligence tools for predicting protein structures routinely generate results that are physically and chemically impossible, ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop model that predicts which Red Sea fish are most likely to invade the Mediterranean
More than 120 fish species have migrated from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean since the Suez Canal opened more than 150 years ago. Now, researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a statistical model that can predict ...
Phys.org / Sharks, spines and speed: The hidden architecture behind different swimming styles revealed
"Shark Week," which kicks off this week, has captivated audiences for decades with stories of these powerful ocean predators. But the secret behind their extraordinary swimming abilities lies far deeper than their impressive ...
Medical Xpress / Human brainpower may get boost from immune cells that mature slowly
Microglia are the most common immune cells in the brain, where they defend against intruders and engulf damaged neurons. Now, scientists at Columbia's Zuckerman Institute have discovered for the first time that, just like ...
