Medical Xpress / Mitochondrial RNA escape may explain how chronic immune signaling helps tumors grow
Cancer biology—and, in turn, cancer treatment—have come a long way in the last few decades. Most people recognize this progress in breakthroughs like immunotherapy, a treatment strategy first deployed in 2011 that leverages ...
Phys.org / Gondwana really was a supercontinent—and it may have helped kickstart life on Earth
Some 550 million years ago, Earth looked very different than it does today. The Southern Hemisphere was dominated by an enormous single continent known as Gondwana.
Medical Xpress / Platinum chemotherapy may cause decades' worth of DNA changes in children's healthy cells
The amount of DNA damage caused by certain chemotherapies used to effectively treat childhood cancer has been revealed, along with a hidden impact on the liver, paving the way for future research into new ways to mitigate ...
Tech Xplore / AI could soon infer human intent by sensing "that's not what I meant" through neural feedback
A future in which AI can recognize a person's unspoken "that's not what I meant" response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects ...
Tech Xplore / AI may cut junior coding tasks and weaken the pipeline to senior developers
New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.
Medical Xpress / New imaging method makes fMRI quieter and clearer for brain–behavior research
Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, gives researchers a powerful way to study brain activity. But the scans can be incredibly noisy for patients and research subjects, with peak sound levels reaching 120 to 138 ...
Phys.org / 1,000 times faster operations bring reliable quantum computing a step closer
So far, quantum computers have been held back by their extreme sensitivity to errors and external disturbances. The longer a quantum operation takes, the greater the risk of computational errors.
Phys.org / New pulse-train method aims to improve precision in quantum control
Quantum technologies are poised to transform fields ranging from medicine and sensing to computing and communications by manipulating the energy states of atoms and molecules. These manipulations are achieved by controlling ...
Medical Xpress / Trial testing out-of-body experiences produces unexpected twist
A test to determine whether people who report out-of-body experiences could identify objects in another room produced results no better than chance. But afterward, something strange happened: Two participants described, unprompted, ...
Phys.org / Dead or alive, plankton support marine ecosystems
As tiny as they are, marine plankton play pivotal roles in biogeochemical cycles and sustaining aquatic ecosystems, producing around half of the oxygen on Earth and also acting as carbon sinks. When they die, their decomposing ...
Phys.org / River erosion explains uneven crustal uplift across Basque-Cantabrian Range
A University of the Basque Country-EHU research group has determined the causes of a 255 m (837 feet) crustal uplift of the Atlantic slope and a 167 m (548 feet) uplift of the Mediterranean slope, as well as the development ...
Tech Xplore / Q&A: Researcher calls for independent testing of powerful AI models
For Nicolas Papernot, the secret to strengthening cybersecurity in the age of AI is transparency—sharing information about threats and allowing researchers to probe these systems before attackers do.
