Tech Xplore / Building facade solar panels on outside walls can generate power while cutting cooling costs
A team of Chinese researchers has modeled the potential global benefits of installing solar panels on outside building walls, a concept known as facade-integrated photovoltaics (FIPV). They found that solar panels installed ...
Medical Xpress / AI model can predict chemotherapy benefit in breast cancer
Deciding whether to administer chemotherapy after surgery is one of the most challenging questions in early-stage breast cancer care. While chemotherapy can reduce the risk of recurrence, most patients do not benefit from ...
Phys.org / Scientists detect magnetic waves deep within the sun, helping predict solar activity
Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered new large-scale waves moving deep inside the sun, driven by magnetic fields far below the surface. These waves provide a window into parts of the sun that are otherwise inaccessible, ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired AI hardware helps autonomous devices operate efficiently and independently
The human brain constantly makes decisions. It requires minimal power to move bodies in a desired direction or avoid an object. A Purdue University engineer uses the brain's efficiency as inspiration to help autonomous vehicles, ...
Phys.org / Designing proteins by their motion, not just their shape
Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature's molecular machines. They walk, stretch, bend, and flex to do their jobs, pumping blood, fighting ...
Phys.org / Land animals evolved from ocean ancestors—new study unravels the genetics behind the transition
The transition from water to land is a question that still intrigues scientists. Those ancient organisms would have needed to adapt to several new challenges to life out of water. So, how did they do it?
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Feeling unfulfilled could lead to riskier, heavier alcohol use
People who have three basic psychological needs met are more likely to have a healthy relationship with alcohol, according to new research from the University of Georgia. The work is published in the journal Psychology of ...
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 ...
Tech Xplore / Asking AI to act like an expert can make it less reliable
To get the best out of AI, some users tell it to provide answers as if it were an expert. Others ask it to adopt a persona, such as a safety monitor, to guide its responses. However, this approach can sometimes hurt performance, ...
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 ...
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 ...
