The best part about this is that it’ll be old news in a year. “A breakthrough new AI model is able to detect the presence of different lung diseases from ultrasound videos, with 96.57% accuracy, and it is even able […]
This is more story than science. “How a 17th-century physician followed his ‘gut feeling’ and proposed a link between the emotions and the stomach, which seemingly echoes the latest medical research on the brain–gut connection.” ~ learn more
“While traditional cement production gets its necessary calcium carbonate from limestone that releases carbon dioxide when heated in a kiln, the U-M researchers can make the calcium carbonate through an electrochemical process that captures CO2 from the air and binds […]
“Using data on over 100 million physician office visits, we compared ADHD diagnosis rates, by day, among children seen by physicians in the 10 weekdays surrounding seven Halloween holidays. The rate of new ADHD diagnosis was 62.7 per 10,000 child-visits […]
Researchers created a new carbon material with a vast molecular surface area. “After the material was created, the researchers tested it to see how much carbon dioxide it could sequester from the atmosphere. The result was that in just two […]
Pretty much this: “if you take the most prominent description of how the rat’s neurons spikes when exploring a maze, that very description is structured like the maze itself” ~ learn more
“Swearing has been shown to improve physical performance in tasks that are relatively short and intense, and this effect has been repeated across experiments, suggesting that it may be a reliable effect.” ~ learn more
“Intrasexually competitive women advise other women to cut off more hair.” ~ learn more
“Our proteins, by contrast, are made of left-handed amino acids. This combination is found not just in humans, but in every species on Earth. Scientists are still debating how evolution landed on this arrangement. In theory, a mirror cell — […]
“Lee Cronin, a chemist at the University of Glasgow, has proposed intriguing ideas about creating life-like systems using inorganic materials, particularly metal-based structures. His research focuses on the idea of “chemistry-first” approaches to synthetic biology, where the goal is to […]
