Medical Xpress / Potentially harmful drug combinations prescribed to older adults identified
A new Ontario-wide study reveals that common medications, from statins to iron supplements, are quietly setting off prescribing cascades that leave older adults unknowingly taking drugs to treat side effects of other drugs.
Medical Xpress / New imaging method makes fMRI quieter and clearer for brain–behavior research
Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, gives researchers a powerful way to study brain activity. But the scans can be incredibly noisy for patients and research subjects, with peak sound levels reaching 120 to 138 ...
Phys.org / 25 years after 9/11, research traces changing landscape of religious bias
A quarter-century after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, religious bias in America has not disappeared, but the forces shaping it have changed.
Phys.org / Injectable nanodevices could provide effective treatment for drug-resistant glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain cancers known to medicine, carrying a median survival of just 12–15 months, even with the best available care.
Phys.org / How to help your garden recover from a heat wave
UK gardens took a battering this summer as a heat dome settled over western Europe, and much of the green and pleasant land turned a dusty beige.
Phys.org / Bringing hidden optical imperfections to light
Tiny manufacturing imperfections in optical components normally go unnoticed. Yet they can alter light in surprisingly significant ways. An international research team led by TU Darmstadt has shown that such imperfections ...
Phys.org / Interviewing with AI? Try not to let the robot affect your behavior
A firm handshake used to be all a job candidate needed to make a good first impression, but today a growing number of firms are relying on artificial intelligence to screen applicants.
Tech Xplore / AI may cut junior coding tasks and weaken the pipeline to senior developers
New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.
Medical Xpress / Mitochondrial RNA escape may explain how chronic immune signaling helps tumors grow
Cancer biology—and, in turn, cancer treatment—have come a long way in the last few decades. Most people recognize this progress in breakthroughs like immunotherapy, a treatment strategy first deployed in 2011 that leverages ...
Phys.org / Fossil flowers of ancient lianas preserved in amber reveal the evolution of tropical rainforests
Tiny flowers trapped in amber around 15 million years ago are offering scientists a rare glimpse into the plant life of a tropical rainforest in what is now Southeast China. Researchers have studied two exceptionally well-preserved ...
Phys.org / Learning without a brain—how bacteria store memories and remember the past like artificial neural networks
Learning is often thought to require a brain. But learning is a broad concept that does not necessarily depend on neurons.
Tech Xplore / AI framework generates more realistic 4D LiDAR worlds for autonomous systems
Autonomous vehicles and robots need to understand a world that is constantly moving. Vehicles change lanes, pedestrians cross streets, and the roadscape can shift from one moment to the next.
