A new technology in the form of a bracelet that helps children better understand how others play and interact has been developed by University of Bristol researchers.

As global demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage surges, so does the need for affordable and sustainable battery technologies. A new study led by researchers from the Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering at Rice University, along with collaborators from Baylor University and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram, has introduced an innovative solution that could impact electrochemical energy storage technologies. The research was recently published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

A team of Canadian researchers has developed a curriculum framework to help train future family physicians in the use of artificial intelligence (AI), addressing a critical gap in medical training as digital tools become more common in patient care.

Concordia researchers became the first to show that the Dyslexia Adult Checklist, a free online resource developed by the British Dyslexia Association and among the most widely used dyslexia checklists globally, is both valid and reliable as an indicator of dyslexia. They do recommend, however, lowering the threshold of mild dyslexia from its current level.

A new study published in Scientific Reports questions the functionality of using the Augmentative Interspecies Communication (AIC) button with dogs. This tool has captivated social media and fueled a global citizen science movement. Researchers from the Department of Ethology at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, reveal that audio quality significantly influences a dog's ability to recognize and respond to recorded words.
