Tech Xplore / Light-tunable polarization sensor could sharpen self-driving cars and medical scans
A technology that surpasses the limitations of existing sensors, which fail to distinguish between water and asphalt on dark roads, has emerged to enhance the accuracy of autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. A research ...
Medical Xpress / Combined exercise and high intensity interval training linked to significant falls in blood pressure over 24 hours
Aerobic and resistance training combined, and high intensity interval training (HIIT), are associated with significant reductions in blood pressure over 24 hours, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence for ...
Medical Xpress / One overlooked factor before birth may help explain autism risk in children
Mothers who work in jobs where they are frequently exposed to toxic chemicals or experience high stress have higher odds of having a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggest the findings of original research published ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden cell 'message route' could shift cancer research
A team at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) has uncovered a previously unrecognized molecular mechanism by which cells send signals to one another—an insight that could help researchers better understand ...
Phys.org / Western Australia is edging toward desertification
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on Earth. Somehow, it feels like it's getting hotter and drier every day.
Phys.org / Airport readings uncover ultrafine particle spikes and oil residue in Zurich study
During takeoff and landing, planes emit ultrafine aerosol particles. Some particles also contain lubricating oil, as shown by measurements made by researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in the environs of the Zurich ...
Medical Xpress / How the timing of trauma leaves a lasting mark on the brain and behavior
A research team from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology), in collaboration with the IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini in Genoa (Italy), has demonstrated that traumatic experiences occurring ...
Phys.org / A baby bird's wish list: Mild weather, attentive parents, not being the smallest sibling
Experiences in the first days and weeks of life can have a profound impact on humans—and birds. A new study led by Sage Madden, a graduate student in evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, shows how ...
Phys.org / 'Implosion carving' shrinks 3D photonic devices 2,000-fold for visible-light computing
Using a new technique that can create vacancies at any site across a material and then shrink it to about 1/2,000 of its original volume, MIT researchers have designed nanotechnology devices that could be used for optical ...
Medical Xpress / Cold comfort? Icing injuries may prolong pain and slow recovery, preclinical results suggest
Icing a sprained ankle or sore muscle, long used to reduce pain and swelling, may in the longer run delay recovery and prolong pain, new research suggests. In a preclinical study published in Anesthesiology, McGill University ...
Phys.org / One graph attempts to connect every object in the universe
If you've ever taken an introductory astronomy class, you've probably seen the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. This graph maps out the life cycle of stars by plotting their temperature against their luminosity, and has ...
Medical Xpress / Novel vision-language model to support diagnosis using CT scans
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, making early and accurate diagnosis essential for improving patient outcomes. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans are widely used to detect ...
