Phys.org / AI model maps building emissions to support fairer climate policies
An open-source artificial intelligence model to accurately map the carbon emissions of buildings across multiple cities could become a powerful new tool to help policymakers plan targeted and equitable decarbonization strategies.
Phys.org / Spectral bats greet each other with 'hugs' and share food, video study reveals
The world's largest carnivorous bat has a surprisingly rich social life, displaying affectionate greetings and providing food to family group members, according to a study by Marisa Tietge at Museum für Naturkunde—Leibniz ...
Phys.org / Liberica coffee consists of three distinct species, offering more climate-resilient options
The vast majority of coffee grown around the world consists of only two species: arabica (Coffea arabica) and robusta (Coffea canephora). The dependence on only these two species of coffee is proving to be a challenge in ...
Phys.org / Maize plants use a volatile gas to fight off pests in densely crowded fields
When maize fields become too crowded, the plants signal each other to boost their defenses. A research team led by Dongsheng Guo of Zhejiang University found that in crowded conditions, maize plants release a volatile gas ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping fat: How microfluidics and mass spectrometry reveal lipid landscapes
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is a widely used model for ...
Tech Xplore / Soft skin, sharp senses: New robotic 'touch' sees danger before it hits
Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms. However, safely operating around humans requires more than strength or speed. Robots must also sense ...
Phys.org / Excavating Eridu: Observations explore nature of massive ancient galaxy
By analyzing the data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and elsewhere have probed the properties of a massive and old galaxy ...
Phys.org / Previously unknown peptide sheds light on how tomato plants regulate their defenses
Tomato plants possess a sophisticated system to protect themselves against herbivores: the signaling peptide Systemin triggers a cascade of plant defense responses.
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed gyroidal solid oxide cells offer lighter, more compact energy solutions
Over the past decades, energy engineers have been developing a wide range of new technologies that could power electronic devices, robots and electric vehicles more efficiently and reliably. These include solid oxide cells ...
Medical Xpress / Cold plasma penetrates deep into tissue to fight cancer
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) have collaborated with partners at Greifswald University Hospital and University Medical Center Rostock to demonstrate that cold plasma can effectively ...
Medical Xpress / 'Clear' e-cigarettes linked to greater acute rises in blood pressure and heart rate
Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Yale University and Boston University Chobanian, Avedisian School of Medicine-led researchers report that e-cigarettes labeled "clear" produced greater acute increases ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict dengue fever with 80% accuracy
Researchers at Northeastern University can predict the emergence of a dengue fever outbreak with 80% accuracy—a breakthrough for public health officials tasked with preparing careworkers to handle spikes in the disease.
