Medical Xpress / Predicting brain health with a smartwatch
Can smartphones or smartwatches help detect early signs of neurological or mental illness? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) monitored a group of participants wearing connected devices, and used artificial intelligence ...
Phys.org / Thermal drones boost detection of entangled seals
New research from Monash University and Phillip Island Nature Parks is using thermal and infrared drone technology to spot marine debris entanglements in Australian fur seals. Entanglement is an escalating threat to marine ...
Medical Xpress / Wegovy may have highest 'eye stroke' and sight loss risk among semaglutide GLP-1 agonists
Wegovy, a GLP-1 agonist for weight loss, may carry the highest risk of "eye stroke" (ischemic optic neuropathy) and sudden sight loss of the semaglutide drugs, finds an analysis of unintended side effect reports published ...
Phys.org / Live in the city or the country? How your location—and your thoughts on death—shape your travel choices
When the first case of COVID-19 in the U.S. emerged in January 2020, many Americans began to confront the reality of death. Six years later, researchers at the University of Florida and Hanyang University in South Korea are ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 medication changes may support long-term weight management
Patients without diabetes who switched GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) drugs for overweight or obesity were more likely to stick with their treatment longer than those who didn't switch, according to a new study by UT Southwestern ...
Phys.org / Moisture-powered polymers could make cleaning CO₂ from air more efficient
Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed to global warming and led to many harmful effects, including shifting weather patterns and more frequent ...
Phys.org / Probiotic sugar compound blocks norovirus from attaching to cells
Stopping viruses before they strike is a key challenge in public health. A research team led by Associate Professor Li Dan from the Department of Food Science and Technology at National University of Singapore's Faculty of ...
Phys.org / Language difficulties can hinder young children's social autonomy
When considering the challenges faced by children with developmental language disorder (DLD), it's natural to think of difficulties they have in understanding and using language. What tends to get overlooked, however, is ...
Phys.org / Strange cosmic burst from colliding galaxies shines light on heavy elements
A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known as GRB 230906A, was likely ...
Tech Xplore / Aerosol jet printing creates durable, low-power transistors for next-generation tech
Tiny electronic devices, called microelectronics, may one day be printed as easily as words on a page, thanks to new research from scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. Building ...
Medical Xpress / Nanohydrogels steer cancer drugs to tumors, aiming to spare healthy tissue
Exhaustion creeps in. Appetite vanishes. Hair thins. The person in the mirror looks gaunt. It's the paradox of cancer treatment: The same drugs meant to save a life can also wear the body down. Nick Housley, assistant professor ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered defense system stops 5G cyber-attacks in a fraction of a second
An AI defense system has successfully detected and neutralized sophisticated 5G cyber-attacks in less than a tenth of a second, paving the way for more secure 5G and future 6G mobile networks, say researchers at the University ...
