Phys.org / AI captures particle accelerator behavior to optimize machine performance
Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator ...
Tech Xplore / 'Dynamic plastic delocalization' can slow metal alloy cracking, engineers find
Metal alloys crack and fail through a mechanism called "fatigue" when repeatedly loaded and strained. While it is well known how to design alloys to withstand static loads and pressures, it is very difficult to design resistance ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies a new class of drug targets for aggressive leukemia
Hyperactive signaling pathways of some aggressive blood cancer cells can be tamped down by a previously unrecognized protein complex, ensuring the cancer's survival. If one component of the complex is deleted or removed, ...
Phys.org / 100 beavers set to be reintroduced to the UK this year, with more to come
Centuries after they were wiped out, the reintroduction of beavers to the UK is gathering pace. Following a government announcement allowing beavers to be released in the wild, a flurry of reintroductions are planned for ...
Phys.org / 'Virgin' frescoes emerge from Pompeii suburb
Amid the remains of a sumptuous villa near Pompeii, the hard-hatted conservationist scraped away centuries-old ash to reveal a vibrant red fresco.
Medical Xpress / Clinicians as team leads may raise the odds AI improves care, study suggests
Over the last decade, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care has risen significantly, but AI-driven innovations in health care delivery have not fully met expectations. Research on the use of AI in health ...
Phys.org / Basic research on Listeria bacteria leads to unique cancer therapy
After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause listeriosis, Daniel Portnoy and his colleagues have discovered a way to turn the bacteria into a potent ...
Medical Xpress / Blood-based tests show strong promise for dementia diagnosis—but population diversity matters
In a study published today, Friday, February 13, 2026, in the journal Nature Aging, researchers show that blood-based biomarkers can support accurate dementia diagnosis across diverse populations when integrated with cognitive ...
Tech Xplore / Study argues online clicks and scrolls are 'thin labor' powering AI
The approximately 5 billion people who use the internet daily leave traces of their activity behind. Companies use these data to learn user interests, purchase history, and other browsing habits, and benefit through sales, ...
Medical Xpress / Frontal brain signal tied to compulsive behaviors in people with OCD
A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, chronic hair-pulling, and skin-picking in people with obsessive compulsive disorder, according ...
Medical Xpress / How psychedelic drugs affect the brain: Animal study links hallucinations to memory fragments
Psychedelic substances are increasingly being used under medical supervision to treat anxiety disorders and depression. However, the mechanisms by which these substances influence our perception and consciousness are largely ...
Phys.org / How a tiny shrimp could hold the clue to better armor
Modern armor systems do not do a good enough job of protecting humans from blast-induced neurotrauma (brain and eye damage). To improve them, we may have to look to nature. In particular, a tiny shrimp that is able to protect ...
