Orphan nuclear receptors in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease development
2025-07-11
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), affecting approximately 30% of the global population, represents a spectrum of liver disorders ranging from simple steatosis to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Its pathogenesis involves complex interactions between genetic predisposition, metabolic dysregulation, inflammation, and cellular stress responses. Orphan nuclear receptors (ONRs), a subfamily of nuclear receptors lacking identified ...
A technological breakthrough for ultra-fast and greener AI
2025-07-11
Artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT are notorious for being power-hungry. To tackle this challenge, a team from the Centre for Optics, Photonics and Lasers (COPL) has come up with an optical chip that can transfer massive amounts of data at ultra-high speed. As thin as a strand of hair, this technology offers unrivalled energy efficiency.
Published in Nature Photonics, the innovation harnesses the power of light to transmit information. Unlike traditional systems that rely solely on light intensity, this chip also uses ...
Pusan National University researchers identify key barriers hindering data-driven smart manufacturing adoption
2025-07-11
Modern manufacturing operates in complex environments where traditional management approaches are no longer enough. This highlights the need for real-time, dynamic and self-adaptive management strategies. Manufacturing data analytics (MDA) has emerged as a powerful solution for transforming traditional manufacturing into smart manufacturing. Through MDA, manufacturers can identify hidden patterns in external and internal data, allowing them to better anticipate and respond to geopolitical risks and rapidly changing customer expectations and demands. However, despite these benefits, adoption of MDA remains surprisingly low, with ...
Inking heterometallic nanosheets: A scalable breakthrough for coating, electronics, and electrocatalyst applications
2025-07-11
Coordination nanosheets are a unique class of two-dimensional (2D) materials that are formed by coordination bonds between planar organic ligands and metal ions. These 2D nanomaterials are increasingly utilized in energy storage, electronic devices, and as electrode-based catalysts due to their excellent electronic, optical, redox properties, and catalytic activity. Over the last decade, coordination nanosheets composed of various transition metal ions, such as nickel (Ni) ions linked to benzenehexathiol (BHT)—an ...
Adults with autism show similar brain mapping of body parts as typically developing adults
2025-07-11
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition, is often associated with difficulties in social communication and repetitive behavior. Previous research reveals that people with ASD often find it challenging to interpret intentions from body language and have difficulty recognizing faces and emotions, which may contribute to their social communication problems. Scientists speculate that these challenges might arise from differences in how the brain perceives faces and body parts, i.e., how individuals with ASD represent the human body. However, until now, no study had clearly mapped how ...
Uncovering behavioral clues to childhood maltreatment
2025-07-11
Childhood maltreatment leaves deep and lasting marks that have far-reaching consequences, extending beyond immediate trauma and affecting survivors in ways that are often invisible and misunderstood. Many survivors often face a complex mix of challenges that have an impact not only on their mental well-being but also on their physical health, social development, and overall quality of life. Studies have shown that the consequences of childhood maltreatment can be truly profound, influencing the risk of chronic health conditions and hindering educational and employment opportunities and lifelong relationships.
However, despite the severity ...
Premenstrual symptoms linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease
2025-07-11
Women diagnosed with premenstrual symptoms have a slightly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. This is shown by a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Nature Cardiovascular Research.
Premenstrual symptoms include premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe form, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The symptoms, which appear a few days before menstruation and then subside, can be both psychological and physical.
The study included more than 99,000 women with premenstrual symptoms who were followed for up to 22 years. The researchers compared their health with women without these symptoms – both in the general population ...
Newly discovered remains of ancient river landscapes control ice flow in East Antarctica
2025-07-11
Strictly embargoed until 10am BST (5am US Eastern Time) on Friday 11 July 2025 (Nature Geoscience embargo)
-With pictures-
The remains of landscapes thought to have formed when ancient rivers flowed across East Antarctica have been discovered – and could help predictions of future loss from the ice sheet.
Researchers led by Durham University, UK, examined radar measurements of ice thickness and found extensive, previously unmapped, flat surfaces buried beneath a 3,500 km stretch of the East Antarctic coastline.
These surfaces were once connected and it is believed were formed by large rivers after East Antarctica and Australia broke apart approximately ...

A mystery interstellar object discovered last week is likely to be the oldest comet ever seen – possibly predating our solar system by more than three billion years, researchers say.
The "water ice-rich" visitor, named 3I/ATLAS, is only the third known object from beyond our solar system ever spotted in our cosmic neighbourhood and the first to reach us from a completely different region of our Milky Way galaxy.
It could ...

WITH PICS & VIDEOS
Researchers have developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to different, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, in what is believed to be a world first.
The pioneering technology allows the robot to change the way it moves autonomously, rather than having to be told when and how to alter its stride like the current generation of robots. This advance is seen as a major step ...
