Phys.org / Why student samples can mislead: Higher education may shift values toward Western norms
A new study published in Nature Communications finds that worldwide, people with higher levels of education are more culturally similar to those in Canada, the U.S., U.K., and other Anglo, industrialized countries and countries ...
Medical Xpress / When it comes to surgery, your doctor's leadership skills play a crucial role
You're scheduled for surgery next week. You've likely looked up your surgeon's credentials, years of experience, and perhaps even patient reviews. You want reassurance that your surgeon has steady hands, deep expertise, and ...
Phys.org / Study finds emissions cuts can mask lack of systemwide change toward climate neutrality
Many countries have adopted ambitious climate protection targets, typically measuring progress through emissions reductions and the expansion of renewable energy. But according to a research team led by Germán Bersalli of ...
Phys.org / Light-activated nanoparticles trigger copper overload to kill cancer cells
Cuproptosis was discovered in 2022. It was a previously unknown type of cell death caused by an excess of copper. The research group led by Professor Johannes Karges at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, used this mechanism ...
Phys.org / Job hopping builds hidden 'mobility benefit'
A history of job changes could be a red flag on a résumé, or it could signal a job candidate with an important "mobility benefit" that will help them begin a new job, says new research from Rebecca Kehoe, professor of Human ...
Tech Xplore / Can AI understand literature? Researchers put it to the test
Even with all the recent advances in the ability of large language models (like ChatGPT) to help us think, research, summarize, and learn complex and technical texts, how do they fare in understanding storytelling and literature? ...
Phys.org / Medieval DNA reveals trans-Saharan connections, rapid genetic mixing and leprosy in Islamic Ibiza
Medieval Ibiza was far from a quiet Mediterranean backwater. New DNA evidence shows that the island was part of a dynamic world linking Europe, North Africa and even the Sahel zone, south of Sahara. An international research ...
Medical Xpress / Do you love sleeping with your pet? Science reveals there's a tricky trade‑off
For some pet guardians, their pets are present in their lives from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed. This happens because cats, dogs and other companion animals are increasingly perceived as family members. ...
Tech Xplore / Perovskite solar cells achieve over 25% efficiency and long lifespan simultaneously
A KAIST research team has solved the "solar cell dilemma," in which increasing efficiency shortens lifespan, while extending lifespan lowers efficiency. The team developed a technology to precisely control the internal structure ...
Phys.org / Trade-offs between commercial and public satellite data in water mapping accuracy revealed
A new study finds that commercial satellite imagery data often outperforms public data sets when identifying surface water, but that public data sets may be better at detecting water hidden by forest cover. Satellite imagery ...
Tech Xplore / Photon framework scales AI vulnerability discovery
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Center for Artificial Intelligence Security Research (CAISER) is shining a light on AI vulnerabilities. While AI models offer tremendous economic, humanitarian and national security potential, ...
Phys.org / Breaking recalcitrant lignin bonds with electricity for conversion into value-added chemicals: An e-biorefinery
A research team led by Professor Jaehoon Kim at Sungkyunkwan University and Dr. Dong Ki Lee at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a highly efficient catalytic process that electrochemically ...
