Meta Quest headsets testing Vision Pro-style freeform window placement
One of the many differences between Meta Quest headsets and Vision Pro is the far more flexible windowing arrangements possible on Apple’s device. But Meta is now testing an approach which comes much closer to emulating Vision Pro’s approach,.....»»
An efficient protein delivery system with spider minor ampullate silk protein nanoparticles
In a study published in the journal MedComm, researchers have developed an efficient protein delivery carrier based on spider silk proteins (spidroins), derived from Araneus ventricosus minor ampullate silk protein (MiSp). The MiSp-based nanoparticle.....»»
Extensive eye-tracking dataset derived from Japanese L2 English learners" text reading
Language processing is a highly intricate human function, and it has been extensively studied in the fields of psychology and education. Eye movement measurement, particularly for written language, has proven to be a beneficial method for language pr.....»»
Caffeine may be a useful marker of wastewater leaks in storm drain systems
In developed countries such as Japan, wastewater systems designed to keep harmful pollutants out of storm drainage are aging and deteriorating, sending contaminants into local bodies of water. Finding the source of a leak in wastewater systems that a.....»»
Korean study forecasts 110,000 premature deaths by 2050 due to PM2.5 and aging
A new study from the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) indicates that fine particulate matter, which is less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5), is increasingly impacting the rapidly aging Korean population. Due to this population a.....»»
Researchers issue "call to action" for data on more diverse range of dog owners
Virginia Tech's Audrey Ruple and Courtney Sexton, already deeply involved in data collection and analysis for dog health and connections to humans through the Dog Aging Project, are imploring fellow scientists to cast the net even wider for data on t.....»»
Researchers explore the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potentials of essential oils
Essential oils, also known as ethereal oils, are volatile, aromatic compounds derived from plants. Found in only about 10% of the plant kingdom, these oils are present in secretory structures such as glands, ducts, cavities, and hairs. Chemically, th.....»»
