Phys.org / AI could make holiday planning easier for overwhelmed travelers
Generative AI could help overwhelmed travelers organize their thoughts, compare options and complete vacation plans they might otherwise abandon, according to new research from the University of Surrey.
Phys.org / Southern Ocean may flip from carbon sink to carbon source under mitigation scenarios
Plans to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels depend on reaching net-zero emissions and, in many cases, actively removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. While this helps limit extreme ...
Phys.org / Magnetic nanoparticles detect amoxicillin allergy with 98% sensitivity in early tests
A multidisciplinary scientific team at the University of Malaga has developed a new technology based on magnetic nanoparticles that enables precise, rapid and reliable diagnosis of allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics, including ...
Phys.org / A brief history of the hangover and its remedies—from cabbages to cloves and the lungs of a goat
Anyone who has ever woken up with a hangover will recognize its physical and psychological effects: headache, nausea, self-loathing, regret and perhaps even some shame at the uninhibited behavior that accompanied the intoxication.
Medical Xpress / Simple perception test can accurately predict success of laser surgery for age-related vision loss
Laser blended vision is a treatment for presbyopia, the natural deterioration of our ability to see things close up that develops in people 40 and older. This type of laser surgery aims to correct one eye for seeing clearly ...
Phys.org / Why are the stars around our galaxy's black hole missing their companions?
A new study suggests that the young stars orbiting the Milky Way's central black hole may have a surprisingly ordinary origin. But the black hole's influence may be what makes their origin look more exotic than it really ...
Medical Xpress / AI virtual cell uses protein dynamics to predict personalized breast cancer treatments
Not all cancer cells are the same, and neither are their responses to drugs. Finding the right drug for the right cancer cell is a long battle in drug development and in designing effective treatments. A new AI tool called ...
Phys.org / Silicon nanosphere coatings deliver glossy, nonfading color on 3D surfaces
"Color coatings are expected to provide vivid color, brightness, gloss and long-term durability, yet no existing technology satisfies all of these requirements simultaneously," says Kobe University materials engineer Hiroshi ...
Phys.org / Six ways people have used magic to protect their homes throughout history—from witch bottles to 'hag stones'
Virtually all cultures and eras fizz with magic. You might call it a secret ingredient of human life because magic takes so many forms and serves so many functions.
Phys.org / Human embryo base editing can reach all cells but causes unpredictable genetic changes
A study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found that new cutting-edge techniques can accurately edit genes in human embryos—giving scientists indispensable tools for understanding ...
Medical Xpress / Shedding new light on DNA repair in early human embryos, with implications for gene editing
Treating inherited diseases is one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine. In the future, targeted gene corrections at the earliest stages of embryonic development could help prevent certain inherited diseases from ...
Phys.org / Japan's Hayabusa2 achieves first-ever laser ranging experiment with an asteroid
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Hayabusa2 spacecraft reached another milestone this summer, a first for space agencies. On Sunday, July 5, the probe conducted the first successful laser-ranging experiment ...
