Exploring innovative treatments for Alzheimer's disease, researchers are investigating mechanical and light-based therapies, such as transcranial ultrasound stimulation and photobiomodulation, to enhance brain function and slow symptom progression. https://www.scientia.global/new-approaches-to-treating-alzheimers-disease/ CMEMS - Center for Microelectromechanical Systems, UMinho Universidade do Minho Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica - Universidade do Minho ICVS

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating condition that strips away people’s memory, thinking, and independence. By 2050, it is expected to affect over 100 million people around the world, making it a high priority for scientific and medical research. Researchers are now exploring the potential for ...

How does light energise the living nerve? Dr Bo Song uncovers a powerful link between photons and neural function. https://www.scientia.global/dr-bo-song-light-energy-and-the-living-nerve/

At University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, recent work by Professor Bo Song and colleagues suggests that light may play an unexpected role in the way our nerves use and transmit energy. Their research explores how mid-infrared photons, tiny packets of light released by chemical reactions....

How do we train AI to handle extreme events? Dr Kenric Nelson introduc-es a new approach to make artificial intelligence truly risk-aware. https://www.scientia.global/dr-kenric-nelson-modelling-the-extreme-a-new-technique-for-training-risk-aware-artificial-intelligence/

Category 5 hurricanes, financial crashes, and global pandemics are just a few examples of rare events whose high risks necessitate understanding and mitigation. Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) could go a long way towards improving our ability to model and mitigate the impacts of such ex...

Where does classical physics end and quantum mechanics begin? Dr Khaled Mnaymeh explores this boundary. https://www.scientia.global/dr-khaled-mnaymeh-does-a-boundary-exist-between-classical-and-quantum-mechanics/

Physicists typically have two frameworks for considering mechanics – a classical picture, looking at larger-scale objects, or a quantum picture, considering things on a subatomic scale. Where the boundary between these two pictures lies is an open question. Dr Khaled Mnaymeh from National Research...

Thousands of fossils are at risk of crumbling away. Professor Loren Bab-cock is fighting to preserve them before time runs out. https://www.scientia.global/professor-loren-babcock-the-race-to-save-fossils-from-the-hands-of-time/

Ohio Wesleyan University’s geological collection, which was amassed in Delaware, Ohio, USA, is among the oldest in America, but decades after those who assembled the collection retired and passed on, the collection fell into obscurity and its storage area was repurposed. Prof Loren Babcock, Direct...

New moon rock samples from Yi Gang Xu suggest a dramatic rethink of the lunar cataclysm theory. Rediscover the Moon: https://www.scientia.global/professor-yi-gang-xu-its-written-in-the-stones-new-moon-rock-samples-demand-a-rethink-of-lunar-cataclysm-theory/

A significant debate continues between scholars in the astronomical community regarding the early history of our solar system. It’s been hypothesised that the solar system experienced a dramatic cataclysm a short while —in cosmological terms— after the Earth and Moon solidified. Dubbed the Lat...

Dr Ray Stewart exposes the crisis of dental care access for people with special needs — where limited training, insurance gaps and system inertia are leaving tens of thousands behind. https://www.scientia.global/dr-ray-stewart-barriers-to-dental-care-for-people-with-special-needs-a-crisis-of-neglect-and-inaction/

For people with special healthcare needs, something as basic as visiting a dentist can be nearly impossible. A ground-breaking paper by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) exposes the scale of this crisis. By outlining potential paths forward, Dr Ray Stewart and Dr Ben....

Light particles never stop moving even in the coldest solids. New work by Matjaž Gomilšek and team uses muons to map how quantum “jitters” affect materials at the deepest level.
https://www.scientia.global/assistant-professor-matjaz-gomilsek-ghost-in-the-material-using-muons-to-study-the-effects-of-quantum-jitters/

Nothing can ever be perfectly still, no matter how cold you make it. Take solid nitrogen, for example, which freezes at a bone-chilling -210 °C. You might expect its molecules to be frozen rigidly in place but, even at such extreme temperatures, they have a life of their own. At the microscopic lev...
