Medical Xpress / Single patch merges multiple physiological signals for simpler health monitoring
Wearable health monitors have grown increasingly capable, but most are still limited by the fact that tracking different types of body signals requires separate sensors, each with its own circuitry and patch of skin. That ...
Medical Xpress / Cumulative fatigue emerges as top predictor of women's soccer injuries
An international team of researchers led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) and the University of Bonn—with participation from the Barça Innovation Hub (BIHUB), FC Barcelona's medical department and the ...
Phys.org / A way to read quantum bits faster and with less hardware
Quantum computers process information in a fundamentally different way from conventional computers, using quantum bits, or qubits, that can exist in multiple states at once. This could allow them to tackle problems beyond ...
Phys.org / 'Rivers in the sky' influence marine heat waves
Long, narrow bands of moving moisture in the sky, known as atmospheric rivers, contribute to heat waves in the marine environment, according to a new study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Duke University's ...
Phys.org / Updating Darwin: Biologists are returning to an older theory to explain anomalies in evolution
Evolution is a fact of life. So much so that even the theory of evolution is evolving. Lately, a centuries-old discredited idea has been making a strong comeback. It helps us explain scientific observations that, according ...
Phys.org / Plant-derived lignin could guide bone repair by forming bone-like minerals
A naturally abundant plant material best known for giving trees and crops their strength may one day help repair broken bones, according to a new study led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Srinath Palakurthy and Professor Rivka ...
Tech Xplore / Hidden battery flaw may shorten EV lifespans
As the need for sustainable electric vehicles grows, cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode batteries (such as manganese-coated nickel-core batteries) have emerged as one of the most promising technologies. These batteries increase ...
Phys.org / To afford aging in place, older adults turn to 'Golden Girls' housing
In the much-loved 1980s sitcom, still in perpetual reruns, the four wisecracking women who share a house in Miami met through an ad on a supermarket bulletin board.
Tech Xplore / Future-aware AI doubles robot speed in pick-and-place tasks
A new method developed by MIT researchers makes robots better at thinking ahead while they are acting, leading to smoother motions and quicker reactions. The research is published on the arXiv preprint server.
Phys.org / US residents near small rivers face disproportionately high future flood risks
An international team, including Kumamoto University and its partner institutions, has found severe flood risks and high climate-adaptation costs for U.S. small rivers.
Phys.org / Small ants that evict coffee pests may gain reproductive boost while protecting crops
Ants are known allies in the fight against coffee pests known as coffee berry borers. Now, a discovery made by Jonathan "Jonno" Morris while he was a University of Michigan graduate student has revealed there may be a new ...
Medical Xpress / Indigenous Australians want to use cultural medicines more often, but access remains difficult
First Peoples say cultural medicines remain central to health and well-being despite a lack of access. Access to physical medicines (ingested, inhaled and topical) is a top priority, according to new research led by Southern ...
