Phys.org / Satellite-driven model provides 'more realistic and reliable' predictions of sand and dust storm emissions
The technology used to predict sand and dust storm (SDS) severity has for decades systematically overestimated when and where sediment is transported across Earth's surface, a new study shows. Existing models, which draw ...
Phys.org / New imaging technique maps membrane lipids in 3D at nanoscale
Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those specialized regions carry out important tasks for the cell, such as ...
Phys.org / Belt-like VO₂(B) single crystals unlock high-sensitivity gas detection at room temperature
An international research team has successfully synthesized oriented belt-shaped vanadium dioxide (VO2(B)) single crystals via a hydrothermal reduction method, using one-dimensional vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanofibers as ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover new genetic disease that causes premature aging and cognitive deficits
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have defined a new genetic disease marked by premature aging and deficits in brain function. The researchers have ...
Medical Xpress / Creating 'humble' medical AI systems that are more collaborative and forthcoming
Artificial intelligence holds promise for helping doctors diagnose patients and personalize treatment options. However, an international group of scientists led by MIT cautions that AI systems, as currently designed, carry ...
Tech Xplore / 60 years of fiber optics: How a carrier of light you can't see underlies much of the modern world
Imagine a world without internet, email, streaming services or social media. Imagine having to write letters or call everyone on a rotary dial phone to communicate. Imagine having to drive to a store to buy anything and everything. ...
Tech Xplore / Generative AI-powered forecasting for sustainable urban development
Researchers introduce a novel generative AI-driven framework, MMCN (Memory-aware Multi-Conditional generation Network), for forecasting future urban layouts by jointly considering building density, building height, transportation ...
Phys.org / Urban stormwater ponds support rich bird life
Urban stormwater ponds provide important habitats for birds, including both resident and migrating species, according to research led by the University of Toronto. For the study, researchers placed audio recorders at 16 stormwater ...
Tech Xplore / New framework addresses privacy, dignity risks posed by modern AI systems
In a new article, researchers introduce the capabilities approach–contextual integrity (CA-CI), a framework that addresses privacy and dignity risks posed by modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems, especially foundation ...
Medical Xpress / Screening, preventive treatment program reduces TB incidence 83% among Tibetan children in northern India
A recently released prospective analysis of the first eight years of the Johns Hopkins Medicine-led Zero TB in Kids program shows that significant reduction of tuberculosis (TB) transmission and burden (the total impact of ...
Medical Xpress / FDA-approved fatty liver drug also suppresses liver tumors in mice
A research team from the Department of Pathology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), in collaboration with the HKU State Key Laboratory of Liver Research, has found ...
Phys.org / New research reveals high option trading fees and barriers to competition
Could the rules of the options market be quietly costing you ten times more than your stock trades? A recent study in The Review of Financial Studies uncovers how current market rules protect high profits for option wholesalers ...
