Phys.org / Companies are hyping AI the same way they talked up sustainability, but there are ways to fix that
Across corporate earnings calls, investor presentations and marketing pitches, "artificial intelligence" has become the buzzword of choice. Yet a troubling pattern lies under the hype. Many claims vastly overstate actual ...
Phys.org / A hidden threshold enables tunable control of liquid crystal helices for energy-efficient technologies
Liquid crystals are an integral part of modern technology, ranging from displays to advanced sensory systems. In a study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from the Institute of Experimental Physics of the Slovak ...
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed ceramic implants that mimic human bone could enable patient-matched repair
Researchers at Tampere University, Finland, have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed ceramic implant material that closely mimics real human bone. The findings advance the development of personalized bone regeneration and ...
Phys.org / Could sea squirts' nano-packaging delivery system help restore sea forests?
How do sea squirts stay attached to rocks amid crashing waves and strong currents? Recent research has revealed that sea squirts do not simply secrete adhesive substances. Instead, they possess a unique system where they ...
Phys.org / A 'super El Niño?' Why it's too early to forecast one with certainty, but not too soon to prepare
Talk of a "super El Niño" developing in 2026 is gaining momentum, with concerns rising that this climate pattern could bring extreme rainfall, heat, drought and destructive flooding around the world.
Medical Xpress / AI chatbot shows promise in combating health misinformation
Can AI help people resist misinformation? Initial research findings suggest that artificial intelligence-driven conversations can strengthen people's resilience to health misinformation, outperforming traditional educational ...
Tech Xplore / This tiny thermal barcode flips invisible heat like pixels—and opens a door to something far bigger
A Carnegie Mellon University research team has developed a pioneering technology that manipulates thermal radiation with the precision of pixels. The work, published in Science Advances, outlines a method for "digitizing ...
Tech Xplore / Contact between 2D and 3D perovskites reshapes crystal order, lifting efficiency to 26.25%
Perovskites, a class of material with a characteristic crystal structure that can convert light into electricity, have proved to be promising for the development of more affordable, flexible, and efficient solar cells than ...
Phys.org / A close brush with Mars will reshape NASA's Psyche journey in a way few missions attempt
NASA's Psyche spacecraft will get a boost from Mars on Friday, May 15, passing just 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers) from the planet's surface at some 12,333 mph (19,848 kph). The spacecraft will harness the planet's gravitational ...
Phys.org / Testing quantum collapse theory with the XENONnT dark matter detector
Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, however, this superposition ...
Phys.org / Researchers discover a new pathway to building energy-efficient computing chips
The growing popularity of electronic devices—from fitness trackers and laptops to smartphones—is driving demand for more energy-efficient computing chips. Now, researchers have found a way to change the electronic properties ...
Phys.org / Why twisted bilayer graphene stops superconducting near high-dielectric substrates
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with a resistance of zero. In so-called conventional superconductors, this occurs at low temperatures when electrons become bound into pairs, known as Cooper pairs.
