Researchers have modelled a new detector configuration that uses the Moon's craters to capture gravitational waves. By placing sensors in a pyramid shape within a crater, this setup could locate black hole mergers with five times the precision of other space-based missions.
The enzyme CD38 accumulates in the brain's filtration system with age, depleting vital energy resources. A new drug, NTX-748, blocks this enzyme to restore metabolic function and reverse memory loss in mice.
The ocean currently absorbs nearly a third of human-caused CO2, but its natural capacity is being tested. A new review evaluates the potential of boosting this process through alkalinity enhancement and macroalgae farming, while warning of the need for strict verification. We may be able to accelerate the ocean's natural cleanup mechanisms, provided we can measure the results accurately.
A new mathematical model reveals that space radiation causes complex, clustered lesions in DNA far more often than clean breaks. These "dirty" injuries confuse repair mechanisms, leading to delayed genetic fractures that physical shielding struggles to prevent.
New imaging research reveals that adolescents with Single Ventricle Heart Disease display altered neural synchronisation in key brain regions. These disruptions in local brain activity may explain the cognitive and mood challenges often seen in these patients.
Researchers have developed a deep learning system that analyses audio recordings of coughs to detect conditions like tuberculosis and COPD. By converting sound waves into visual spectrograms, the model identifies discriminative patterns that human ears often miss, offering a potential low-cost screening tool.
Researchers observed beta-like particle tracks emerging from nickel cathodes after electrolysis, suggesting nuclear activity occurred at room temperature. The study provides empirical evidence for nuclear effects induced by electrochemical pressure.
This retrospective analysis evaluates the efficacy of PyHealth and the RETAIN neural network in forecasting 30-day hospital readmissions using the MIMIC-III demo dataset. While the study indicates these tools may enhance nursing discharge planning, the reliance on deidentified, limited data suggests the need for broader clinical validation.
Researchers have synthesised a stable Ti3O electride support that dramatically enhances iridium catalysts in acidic environments. By creating unique subsurface oxygen pockets, the material shifts the reaction mechanism, preventing catalyst degradation and boosting efficiency.
Researchers have developed two new deep learning models that generate realistic urban traffic patterns much faster than traditional statistical methods. By using advanced 'compression' techniques and attention mechanisms, these tools can simulate complex city-wide traffic flows for better urban planning.
A new study proposes that energetic particle irradiation, rather than gas mixing, drove the depletion of oxygen-16 in terrestrial bodies. By damaging dust grains, cosmic rays may have allowed rapid isotope exchange with water ice. This mechanism offers a solution to the chronological mismatch in mineral formation.
Researchers have developed a hybrid framework to overcome data scarcity in Gujarati language processing. By combining rule-based lexicons with semi-supervised learning, they successfully expanded a high-quality dataset to over 100,000 headlines.
