Phys.org / LimbLab: A tool to visualize embryonic development in 3D
Studying the shape of tissues and organs is critical to understanding how they are formed. Embryonic development happens in three dimensions, but many studies are limited by the use of two-dimensional approaches and images ...
Phys.org / Pittsburgh study links dark roofs and roads to higher heat and social vulnerability
Cities are increasingly becoming the epicenter of climate-related risks, with research showing that impervious surfaces (e.g., roofs, streets, sidewalks, parking lots) are a major driver of urban climate impacts because they ...
Medical Xpress / Sweet reset: How sugar tastings help the brain quiet old memories
Memories must be flexible so animals can adapt when the world changes. FMI neuroscientists have found that in fruit flies, simply tasting a sugar reward again can weaken all previous associated memories. This process may ...
Phys.org / Controlling magnetism to unlock better hydrogen storage alloys
Hydrogen is expected to play a central role in future clean energy systems, but storing it efficiently and safely remains one of the biggest challenges to its widespread adoption. Solid-state hydrogen storage, in which hydrogen ...
Medical Xpress / The bitter aftertaste of cannabis legalization: Effects on fertility, pregnancy and fetal development
The public debate on cannabis is dominated by a tone of normalization—less stigmatization, more freedom of choice. The promise of a "natural" alternative to medicines. Meanwhile, science, although still incomplete, is painting ...
Medical Xpress / AI tool can predict which trauma patients need blood transfusions before they reach the hospital
Severe bleeding is one of the most common and preventable causes of death after traumatic injury, yet currently available tools have poor ability to determine which patients urgently need blood transfusions. A new multinational ...
Medical Xpress / Neural implant approach regrows surrounding skull, ensuring safe access to the brain
A study led by Dartmouth Engineering professors demonstrates a possible new technique for connecting electronic implants with the surface of the brain, as well as a new method for ensuring safe, long-term medical access to ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic unveils new AI model as OpenAI rivalry heats up
Anthropic on Thursday released its latest high-performing artificial intelligence model, escalating its challenge to OpenAI in the intensifying AI race.
Phys.org / Peppermint oil plasma coating could cut catheter infections without releasing drugs
Australian researchers have developed a high‑performance coating made from peppermint essential oil that can be applied to the surfaces of many commonly used medical devices, offering a safer way to protect patients from ...
Medical Xpress / Gentle implant can illuminate, listen and deliver medication to the brain
A new type of brain implant may have implications for both brain research and future treatments of neurological diseases such as epilepsy. Researchers from DTU, the University of Copenhagen, University College London, and ...
Medical Xpress / Powerful AI can help diagnose substance use disorder, could speed treatment
Diagnosing substance-use disorder can be difficult because of patient denial related to the stigma attached to addiction. Now a study by the University of Cincinnati has used a novel artificial intelligence to predict substance-use-defining ...
Tech Xplore / Origami-inspired waveguides fold for launch, expand in space for satellites
High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either end, neither of which ...
