A NIMS research team has developed an automated high-throughput system capable of generating datasets from a single sample of a superalloy used in aircraft engines. The system successfully produced an experimental dataset containing several thousand records—each consisting of interconnected processing conditions, microstructural features and resulting yield strengths (referred to as “Process–Structure–Property datasets” below)—in just 13 days. Datasets are generated over 200 times faster than when using conventional methods. The system’s ability to rapidly produce large-scale, comprehensive datasets has the potential to significantly ...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 2025 — Car enthusiasts will pay hundreds of dollars for stereo systems that will improve the sound quality in their cars. However, the inherent directionality of speakers and complex shapes of car cabins can exacerbate sound disparities between the drivers and passengers, no matter how advanced a speaker system. In the Journal of Applied Physics, by AIP Publishing, researchers from a collaboration of institutions in China created a prototype using a fractal to mitigate the sound differences. Fractals are unique shapes that can be split into infinitely smaller ...

About The Study: In this population-based cross-sectional study, infant mortality risk was inversely associated with county-level access to maternity care, with the highest risk in counties with no access. When examined by race and ethnicity, differences in mortality risk between living in a full access and no access county were observed among white infants only, indicating that unmeasured barriers may limit the protective effect of access for some racial and ethnic groups.  Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Ripley Lucas, MPH, email RLucas@marchofdimes.org.

(Vienna, 11 November 2025) Using sophisticated RNA sequencing technology, biomedical researchers can measure the activity of our genes across millions of single cells, creating detailed maps of tissues, organs, and diseases. Analysing these datasets requires a rare combination of skills: deep understanding of the biology, and the ability to develop computer code that turns data into insights. What if we could equip biomedical researchers with an AI assistant that sees the data, supports the analysis, ...

Novel study used whole genome sequencing to combine monogenetic and polygenetic testing, which are often siloed in research and practice More physicians should order genetic testing but much of the workforce isn’t trained in it Findings lay the groundwork for developing targeted therapies  CHICAGO --- In a new Northwestern Medicine study, scientists have developed a more precise genetic risk score to determine whether a person is likely to develop arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat that ...

Recent epic leaps in genetics have created a biodiversity library. As the genetic make-up of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and viruses has been mapped, researchers racing to develop solutions to today’s global challenges run into a question: Why be limited to a mouse? Electric eels, octopi, birds, sponges, and plastic-gobbling bacteria are amongst the new stages on which discovery is unfolding. The challenge is to refine the theater to optimize performance. In today’s Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Michigan State University evolutionary biologist Jason Gallant presses a case for research – from classrooms and laboratories to funding agencies ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. – Studying brain patterns in soccer fans, researchers found that certain circuit regions of the brain were activated while viewing soccer matches involving their favorite team, triggering positive and negative emotions and behaviors, according to a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The researchers say these patterns could apply to other types of fanaticism as well, and that the circuits are forged early in life. Soccer is a global phenomenon, and its followers ...

Computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen, and spine, taken originally to detect problems such as kidney stones or growths on the lungs, can be repurposed through artificial intelligence (AI) to catch signs of bone loss, a new study shows. NYU Langone Health radiologists who developed the AI tool with experts at Visage say their new tool will soon be ready to provide “opportunistic screening” in NYU Langone hospitals for osteoporosis. The effort will be part of a clinical trial to diagnose those with unknown low bone density, using CT scans taken for other purposes. Publishing ...

SAN ANTONIO — November 11, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has expanded the capabilities of its world-class Metering Research Facility (MRF) to ensure existing natural gas infrastructure is compatible with hydrogen fuels. This initiative is supported by internal funding and combines SwRI’s expertise in energy, power, and automotive engineering to help several industries evaluate how blending hydrogen with natural gas affects infrastructure and technology. “Blending hydrogen into natural gas pipelines could prove to be a promising, cost-effective pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using existing natural gas infrastructure,” ...

A globally cited statistic about the role of irrigation for food security that has formed foundational evidence for policy making and scientific research is used on a ‘hearsay’ basis and is based on weak evidence, according to a new study.   In a new paper published in PNAS Nexus, a team of researchers from the University of Birmingham has analysed the use of widely cited statistics, that irrigation agriculture produces 40% of global crops and withdraws 70% of global freshwater resources. ...

The EU is considering introducing a blanket ban on the man-made chemicals called PFAS because of the risks they pose. Researchers have now found that these substances can even alter the genes of birds before they hatch. These substances are called ‘forever chemicals’ because they break down very slowly in the natural environment. Some people may know them by the abbreviation PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. They are also very abundant. “These substances are used in hundreds of products, ranging from frying pans and waterproof clothing to firefighting foam, food packaging and stain-resistant ...

During winter months, frost can unleash icy havoc on cars, planes, heat pumps, and much more. But thermal defrosting with heaters is very energy intensive, while chemical defrosting is expensive and toxic to the environment. Jonathan Boreyko, associate professor in mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech, and his research team may have found a new and improved method for deicing. His philosophy is to combat ice by exploiting its own physics instead of using heat or chemicals, creating methods of frost removal ...

Background and Aims Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) frequently occurs in patients with porto-sinusoidal vascular disease (PSVD), but its clinical characteristics and outcomes remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of PVT in PSVD. Methods A total of 169 patients with PSVD confirmed by hepatic histology were included. PVT was diagnosed using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data, portal hypertension-related complications, comorbidities, and mortality were collected and compared between patients with and without PVT. The primary ...

The idea that irrigated agriculture underpins global food and water security—producing 40% of crops and using 70% of freshwater—has become widespread in science and policy. However, these statistics are not empirically supported, according to a new analysis. Arnald Puy and colleagues traced these figures through citations in 3,693 scientific documents published from 1966 to 2024. The authors found that 60–80% of citation paths led to sources without supporting data or that did not contain the claimed numbers. Only approximately 1.5% of cited documents provided original data. When ...
