Phys.org / Predicting physics without parameter tuning: A faster computational approach
Numerical simulations in physics often require estimating a multitude of parameters, making the process computationally expensive and complex. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have introduced a new method called the multiparameter ...
Medical Xpress / Medically tailored meals produce better health and lower costs, analysis finds
At least a dozen U.S. states are rolling out medically tailored meals in pilot projects through Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program serving 71 million Americans who qualify based on income or disability status.
Medical Xpress / Genetic trade-off between youth and longevity uncovered
A new study identifies vgll3 as a key gene that promotes rapid growth and early reproduction while increasing the risk of aging and cancer later in life. The findings provide rare experimental evidence for the theory that ...
Phys.org / Bird masturbation appears natural across 120 species, challenging long-held veterinary advice
New research has found that masturbation among bird species, including parrots, is natural, despite prevailing assumptions that it is a harmful behavior in response to environmental factors.
Medical Xpress / It's time to tackle the addiction medicine specialist shortage
Australia is facing a growing addiction crisis with 1 in 30 people meeting the criteria for a substance use disorder, yet addiction medicine remains one of the least visible specialties with only 245 doctors and 68 trainees ...
Medical Xpress / Real-time brain monitor detects infections earlier
A research team led by the University of Waterloo has created a new monitoring system to save lives and significantly reduce health-care costs in brain-injury cases through the early detection of infections in intensive care ...
Medical Xpress / Extreme weather can whip up anxiety. A safety plan can help
Hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other extreme weather can also kick up storms of anxiety.
Phys.org / For satellites as small as a briefcase, getting around in space just got a whole lot easier
MIT engineers are testing a new propulsion system that combines the power and speed of conventional chemical thrusters with the precision and fuel-efficiency of electrical thrusters. The system could enable the design of ...
Medical Xpress / Long-term alcohol use may affect multiple organs at the same time, researchers find
A new study by researchers at Ohio University found that long-term alcohol exposure caused widespread damage to the gut, liver, and metabolism in mice, offering new insight into how chronic alcohol use may harm the body over ...
Phys.org / Modeling life beneath our feet: A step towards realistic soil ecology at the landscape scale
As soil health becomes a defining goal of the EU Soil Strategy for 2030, researchers at Aarhus University are rethinking how we model what lives beneath our feet. Their new spatially explicit population model for the soil ...
Phys.org / How a giant moon and a steam atmosphere built the recipe for life
4.5 billion years ago was an interesting time for Earth. The atmosphere was thick and what we would now think of as toxic. The moon, which was freshly formed, looks much more massive than it does today and faintly glows with ...
Tech Xplore / AI brings object-level vision prosthetics closer to reality
EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind. The research, from the NeuroAI Lab of Martin Schrimpf, part of EPFL's Schools ...
