Many grocery shoppers know the routine: bring fruit and vegetables home, rinse them, dry them and hope they stay fresh long enough to be eaten. But fresh produce is delicate. Grapes shrivel, apple sli
A single scoop of water from an Irish river has revealed evidence not only of Ireland's only frog species—as expected—but also signs of the dreaded B. dendrobatidis fungus, marking the first time this
The mountain bongo has become the "ghost of the forest," hard to spot amid the dense shrubs due to its ability to camouflage.
Engineered microorganisms are widely used in industrial biotechnology and biopharmaceutical applications, including the production of biofuels, sustainable chemicals, and therapeutic compounds. Howeve
Scientists from Trinity and Technical University of Denmark have developed a new radar-based technique that could address a critical gap in global conservation efforts, by transforming how we identify
Artificial intelligence can dramatically speed up the painstaking work of tracking wildlife with remote cameras, cutting analysis time from months or even a year to just days while producing nearly th
For more than a decade, conservation biologist Steve Boyes searched for "ghost elephants"—nocturnal giants rumored to roam a remote, high-altitude wetland in eastern Angola. When a motion-sensor camer
Scientists may have found a smarter, safer way to wipe out termites hiding inside homes. A chemical called bistrifluron prevents drywood termites from forming new exoskeletons during molting, killing
Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor coul
The John equation serves as the mathematical foundation of the X-ray transform, describing the intrinsic compatibility conditions that projection data must satisfy. In this paper, within three-dimensional (3D) Euclidean space, an innovative mixed parameterization scheme is adopted: the source point
Thrombotic vascular diseases contribute to significant global mortality, yet current therapeutic strategies face persistent challenges including bleeding risks, suboptimal efficiency, and procedural complexity. Here, we report a micro-explosive thermochemical thrombolysis (METCT) therapy via injecta
Breast thermography provides a noninvasive and contact-free method for observing tumor-associated thermal anomalies. However, the extent to which surface temperature patterns reflect the internal physiology of a tumor remains an open question. In this study, we investigate a modified Pennes bioheat
Commercial treatment planning systems for electron FLASH radiotherapy are unavailable, and the dosimetric precision required for ultra-high dose rate delivery makes Monte Carlo (MC) simulation the gold standard approach. This work establishes a methodology for generating pulse-width-specific phase s
Advanced radiotherapy approaches such as FLASH irradiation and spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) show potential to improve the therapeutic ratio, yet their biological mechanisms and optimal delivery parameters remain uncertain. Progress requires accessible proton research platforms with fle
Background: Existing MRI LLM benchmarks rely mainly on review-book multiple-choice questions, where top proprietary models already score highly, limiting discrimination. No systematic benchmark has evaluated vendor-specific scanner operational knowledge central to research MRI practice. Purpose: We
Wave propagation through complex poroelastic multilayered media is difficult to model and invert because pronounced heterogeneity, scattering, mode conversion and fluid-solid coupling jointly distort acoustic signals during propagation. Here we present Physics-Constrained Learning for Complex Multil
This study develops and validates a patient-specific Monte Carlo (MC) dosimetry framework for propagation-based phase-contrast breast CT (BCT) at the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL), ANSTO Australian Synchrotron, for accurate mean glandular dose (MGD) estimation. BCT provides 3D imaging without
