Phys.org / Simulations show a path to 'ideal glass' with crystal-like entropy

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in solids, but arranged randomly, ...

Medical Xpress / Foundation AI model uses MRI data to predict multiple brain disorders

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are computational models that can learn to identify patterns in data, make accurate predictions or generate content (e.g., texts, images, videos or sound recordings). These models can ...

Phys.org / Past climate change: First indicators show resilience in tropical life—up to 1.5°C

New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, Earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered that tropical algae were largely unaffected by a number of periods ...

Phys.org / Leopards adapted to South Africa's Cape so successfully that they're genetically unique

Animals of the same species don't always look the same. From birds with different beak shapes to mammals that vary in size or color, populations living in different places can often look very different.

Tech Xplore / How an overlooked electrostatic force could drive the motor of the future

When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force." Positive and negative charges attract each other, drawing objects together. It is natural to think that this attractive force—known ...

Medical Xpress / Twenty years cancer-free: One man's story illustrates progress against follicular lymphoma

Twenty years. That's how long Robert Oman has been cancer-free, thanks to a clinical trial offered at the University of Rochester's Wilmot Cancer Institute. And he isn't alone: 70% of patients in the trial who had advanced-stage ...

Phys.org / A 'Cosmic Positioning System' in the outer solar system

There have been plenty of attempts to resolve the "Hubble Tension" in cosmology. This feature describes how one of the most important variables in cosmology, the expansion of the universe, takes on different values depending ...

Tech Xplore / AI is getting smarter, but not wiser: A new roadmap aims to fix that gap

A new study is the first to suggest realistic ways to integrate wisdom into artificial intelligence, to create AI systems that will be more robust, transparent, cooperative, and safe. Researchers from the University of Waterloo ...

Phys.org / Enhanced rock weathering is not yet a reliable climate protection measure, say researchers

Most countries will not achieve climate neutrality through greenhouse gas emission reductions alone; carbon sinks are also needed to offset unavoidable emissions. Researchers are discussing technical solutions, such as applying ...
