Phys.org / Epigenetics linked to high-altitude adaptation in Andes
DNA sequencing technology makes it possible to explore the genome to learn how humans adapted to live in a wide range of environments. Research has shown, for instance, that Tibetans living at high altitude in the Himalayas ...
Tech Xplore / Data centers in space: Will 2027 really be the year AI goes to orbit?
Google recently unveiled Project Suncatcher, a research "moonshot" aiming to build a data center in space. The tech giant plans to use a constellation of solar-powered satellites which would run on its own TPU chips and transmit ...
Phys.org / Model reveals how the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board selects targets for inspection
2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the launch of the inspection program by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the non-profit responsible for overseeing financial audits. It was also a banner year for ...
Tech Xplore / Energy-efficient process delivers rare-earth element for magnets
Neodymium is a rare-earth element essential for producing the strongest permanent magnets, which are widespread in defense technologies, hard drives, medical imaging devices, electric vehicle motors, wind turbines and more. ...
Phys.org / How to catch a comet that hasn't been discovered yet
There's been a lot of speculation recently about interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS—much of which is probably caused by low-quality data given that we have to observe it from either Earth, or in some cases, Mars. In either case, ...
Tech Xplore / A metamaterial that bridges air and water
Have you ever tried yelling underwater? Not only is it difficult to make the noise, but it is rarely audible to those outside of the water. Sound travels differently in mediums of different densities, and that causes a high ...
Medical Xpress / Newly defined benign soft tissue tumor with bony shell may mimic malignancy
It's not often that a pathologist gets to make a diagnosis that works for the patient by preventing treatment from occurring. But thanks to a Johns Hopkins Medicine doctor and his newly reported definition and classification ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves updated label for Unloxcyt
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an updated label for Unloxcyt (cosibelimab-ipdl) for the treatment of adults with metastatic or locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) who are not candidates ...
Phys.org / Tailored single atom platforms hold promise for next-generation catalysis
Catalysts play a vital role in modern society, supporting processes from metallurgy to pharmaceutical production. To reduce environmental impact and maximize efficiency, science has pushed the boundaries between homogeneous ...
Phys.org / Hubble seeks clusters in 'Lost Galaxy'
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely ...
Phys.org / Debris disk gallery shows tell-tale signs of asteroids and comets in distant solar systems
Observations with the instrument SPHERE at ESO's Very Large Telescope have produced an unprecedented gallery of "debris disks" in exoplanetary systems.
Tech Xplore / Google's proposed data center in orbit will face issues with space debris in an already crowded orbit
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and cloud services has led to a massive demand for computing power. The surge has strained data infrastructure, which requires lots of electricity to operate. A single, medium-sized ...
