For The Better

A free AI-powered website helps clinicians more effectively match patients with the optimal antidepressant using big data.

The formation of aggregates due to protein misfolding and resulting protein instability is associated with several diseases. Previous studies have shown the potential of sulfobetaine polymer, a zwitterionic polymer, to suppress protein aggregation. Now…

Engineers have helped design a new method to make hydrogen gas from water using only solar power and agricultural waste such as manure or husks. The method reduces the energy needed to extract hydrogen from water by 600%, creating new opportunities for…

Findings showed that how tight a parental T cell binds to a cancer-related protein determines whether its offspring will become functional anti-cancer effector cells or dysfunctional ‘exhausted’ T cells.

A team of researchers have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88 per cent accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.

A new study found a distinct relationship between sleep duration, social media usage, and brain activation across brain regions that are key for executive control and reward processing.

A new study found that better sleep health was associated with lower levels of loneliness, and this association was stronger among younger adults.

A new study demonstrates that when individuals with obstructive sleep apnea use their positive airway pressure machine more regularly, it benefits their relationship with their partner.

Over the last two years, scientists have used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to explore what astronomers refer to as Cosmic Dawn — the period in the first few hundred million years after the big bang where the first galaxies were born.

Research reveals taking pictures of food isn’t just content for our social media feeds, but could be the key to improving people’s diets.

Cultivating creativity in schools is vital for a future driven by artificial intelligence (AI). But while teachers embrace creativity as an essential 21st century skill, a lack of valid and reliable creativity tests means schools struggle to assess stu…

Researchers combined computer simulations and transmission electron microscopy experiments to better understand the ordering mobility and formation of microstructure domains in Fe3Al alloy. They were able to correlate structural changes with heat treat…

The eyes of raptors such as eagles can accurately perceive prey from kilometers away. Is it possible to model the camera technology after the bird’s eyes? Researchers developed a new type of camera, which was inspired by the structures and functions of…

A large fossil discovery has helped shed light on the history of dinosaurs in Wales.

A whaler’s forgotten aerial photos from 1937 have given researchers the most detailed picture of the ice evolution in East Antarctica to date. The results show that the ice has remained stable and even grown slightly over almost a century, though scien…

Team utilizes advanced statistical techniques to project the future groundwater depletion risk.

During an earthquake, soil can weaken through subsidence and liquefaction. These processes can cause buildings to collapse as the soil becomes unable to support their weight. Researchers have now developed a model that predicts soil-bearing strength an…

Lenses are used to bend and focus light. Normal lenses rely on their curved shape to achieve this effect, but physicists have made a flat lens of only three atoms thick which relies on quantum effects. This type of lens could be used in future augmente…

Although dengue outbreaks cannot be prevented, it is possible to anticipate them. Scientists have recently identified a global climate indicator that may help improve predictions about the magnitude of dengue outbreaks several months in advance. This i…
