Phys.org / New computational imaging method cuts X-ray dose while preserving high resolution
Researchers have shown that it's possible to take clear, high-resolution X-ray images using very little radiation. With more development, the new approach could eventually make medical X-ray diagnostics less risky and more ...
Medical Xpress / Blood gene test detects 90% of early-stage pancreatic cancers
Researchers at Kanazawa University report that blood-based gene expression tests may enable early pancreatic cancer screening and improve long-term survival.
Phys.org / Driving the speed limit could slash fuel use and emissions at the cost of only 54 extra seconds a day
Speeding in your car to work, to pick up your children from school, or go from one errand to the next not only wastes money in gas and sends harmful emissions into the air, it barely saves you time, new research says.
Phys.org / How bacteria sacrifice themselves to render antibiotics ineffective
Bacteria can defend themselves against antibiotics with the help of an enzyme released by dying cells, according to a study by a team from the Institute for Biological Physics at the University of Cologne and Wageningen University ...
Medical Xpress / New multiple sclerosis criteria could reveal disease before symptoms appear
The international guidelines for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS), called the McDonald criteria, underwent their most significant overhaul in a decade in 2024. The internationally recognized framework is used to diagnose ...
Phys.org / Black Sea waters reshaped Eastern Mediterranean circulation 11,000 years ago
A new study led by the University of Barcelona reveals that freshwater exported from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea triggered major environmental changes across the Eastern Mediterranean.
Phys.org / Statistical method broadens forecasts by modeling uncertainty beyond average outcomes
When it comes to statistics, we usually expect to be informed about what happens "on average." But sometimes the key information lies in deviations from that mean: how likely is heavy rain, and how likely is it to remain ...
Phys.org / Researchers discover rare freshwater mussels in Moosup River
When University of Rhode Island researchers slipped beneath the surface of the Moosup River recently, they did not expect to find a living freshwater mussel community. The discovery marked the first documented record of freshwater ...
Phys.org / PathSay Project uses AI to cross language barriers
Thousands of the world's languages remain largely invisible to modern translation technology, but researchers and students at Brigham Young University are working to change that. Through a project called Pathsay, students ...
Phys.org / Cave-dwelling snail discovered in Greece, named after Hermes and the nymph who nurtured him
A team of researchers from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens has discovered a completely new genus and species of subterranean freshwater snail in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. The species, Cyllena ...
Medical Xpress / Can magnetic fields help fight Parkinson's disease?
An international team has succeeded in using a magnetic field to target structures deep within the brain. The researchers injected magnetic nanoplatelets into the relevant region. By doing so, they succeeded in treating movement ...
Phys.org / For older women, water offers more than just physical health benefits
Austria suggests that water plays a much more complex and profound role in older women's lives than previously recognized.
