Phys.org / New study uses Neanderthals to demonstrate gap between generative AI and scholarly knowledge
Technological advances over the past four decades have turned mobile devices and computers into the world's largest library, where information is just a tap away. Phones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches—they're a part of ...
Phys.org / New CRISPR tool spreads through bacteria to disable antibiotic resistance genes
Antibiotic resistance (AR) has steadily accelerated in recent years to become a global health crisis. As deadly bacteria evolve new ways to elude drug treatments for a variety of illnesses, a growing number of "superbugs" ...
Phys.org / Researchers demonstrate organic crystal emitting red light from UV and green from near-infrared
Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely used in these fields, yet ...
Phys.org / Broken inversion symmetry lets 3D crystals mimic 2D Ising superconductivity
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common three-dimensional (3D) world. A prime example is graphene. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have ...
Medical Xpress / A 3D-printed delivery system enhances vaccine delivery via microneedle array patch
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted an urgent need for efficient, durable, and widely accessible vaccines. This prompted several important innovations in vaccine technology, and researchers continue to explore new and creative ...
Medical Xpress / Americans optimistic about heart health prospects, but face an uphill battle, survey suggests
Americans could be facing an uphill battle when it comes to protecting their heart health as they age, a new Cleveland Clinic poll reveals.
Phys.org / Can a bird be an illegal immigrant? How the White Australia era influenced attitudes to the bulbul
In early January, authorities from South Australia's Department of Primary Industries took to the streets of Adelaide on the hunt for a suspicious individual.
Medical Xpress / STS: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting shows lower perioperative morbidity, mortality than on-pump
Perioperative morbidity and mortality are slightly reduced with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) performed off-pump (OPCAB) by experienced surgeons, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Society ...
Phys.org / Video: How the science of saltwater-tolerating plants could protect coastlines
Rising sea levels along coastlines not only threaten populations, but also pose a danger to agricultural crops, which may be damaged by surging amounts of saltwater. Researchers have, in response, sought to improve salt-tolerance ...
Phys.org / Quantum encryption method demonstrated at city-sized distances for the first time
Concerns that quantum computers may start easily hacking into previously secure communications has motivated researchers to work on innovative new ways to encrypt information. One such method is quantum key distribution (QKD), ...
Phys.org / Extreme plasma acceleration in monster shocks offers new explanation for fast radio bursts
In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have performed the first global simulations of monster shocks—some of the strongest shocks in the universe—revealing how these extreme events in magnetar ...
Phys.org / Quantum Twins simulator unveils 15,000 controllable quantum dots for materials research
Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.
