Medical Xpress / Doctors and scientists race to understand a rising form of heart failure
Approximately 3 million people in the United States are living with a condition called heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, or HFpEF. The number of people with this form of heart failure, which is more common in ...
Phys.org / The midlife clock is ticking: How we understand 'time left' can help us use it well
In Adaptation and the Life Cycle, psychologist Bernice Neugarten tells us that we arrive in our middle years by our social clocks, not our age.
Phys.org / Can satellites detect when forests lose resilience?
For years, scientists have been using a method called "temporal autocorrelation (TAC)" to measure forest resilience using satellite data. However, scientists have not used TAC uniformly, and its use as a resilience indicator ...
Medical Xpress / How patients write portal messages may affect whether doctors respond
Portal messages have become a routine way for patients to communicate with their health care teams. But a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health suggests that how patients write those messages ...
Phys.org / Tiny ocean plankton hold clues to the future of Maine lobster
The future of Maine's lobster industry may depend on a creature the size of a sesame seed. Researchers at the University of Maine have discovered that planktonic baby lobsters, or larvae, preferentially feed on Calanus finmarchicus, ...
Medical Xpress / Can you slow the aging process? Study reveals which interventions might help
When Raghav Sehgal arrived at Yale as a graduate student several years ago, he wanted to explore the use of powerful computer science tools in cancer research. With an engineering background and a computational biology startup ...
Medical Xpress / The hidden cost of high performance: New research questions 'win-at-all-costs' sport culture
Are the systems designed to support New Zealand's high-performance athletes harming them instead?
Tech Xplore / Better metals, with help from a small square with billions of holes
Despite significant advances in technology, knowing the atomic arrangement of metals in their microstructure—which defines their strength, deformability and other properties—is still tricky. In a new study, Yale researchers ...
Phys.org / Temperature-tunable micropillars enable programmable sorting of particles and cells
A programmable microfluidic device developed at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, combines deterministic lateral displacement, a microfluidic technique used to separate particles according to size, with temperature-responsive ...
Medical Xpress / Dual beta rhythms could guide more precise Parkinson's brain stimulation
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center studying Parkinson's disease have discovered a previously unrecognized sequence of abnormal activity across multiple regions of the brain, providing a new level of understanding ...
Phys.org / Metal ceramics under AI control: A new approach for calculating the mechanical properties of materials
Researchers from the Skoltech Materials Center have proposed a new approach to modeling the mechanical properties of heterogeneous materials, combining machine learning with active learning on local chemical configurations. ...
Phys.org / Chemicals banned in the 1970s still widely detected across Europe, new study finds
A new study has found that regulatory restrictions introduced more than half a century ago have failed to eliminate contamination from banned chemicals across Europe. Researchers say they detected banned chemicals in air, ...
