Phys.org / A rare 'triple-double' radio galaxy discovered using MeerKAT
Astronomers have discovered an exceptionally rare radio galaxy that has three distinct pairs of radio lobes. This system falls into a subpopulation of radio galaxies known as "triple-double" radio galaxies (TDRGs). Located ...
Medical Xpress / How an Alzheimer's risk gene disrupts brain circuits long before memory loss
For the millions of people who carry the gene APOE4, the strongest known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, their brain activity may begin changing long before any memory problems appear. Now, researchers at Gladstone ...
Phys.org / Framework unifies the classical and quantum Mpemba effects
Physicists have developed a new theoretical framework which unifies a wide array of seemingly unrelated "Mpemba effects": counterintuitive cases where systems driven further from equilibrium relax faster than those closer ...
Tech Xplore / Living brain cells enable machine learning computations
A research team at Tohoku University and Future University Hakodate has demonstrated that living biological neurons can be trained to perform a supervised temporal pattern learning task previously carried out by artificial ...
Phys.org / Iridium's hidden surface chemistry may change how hydrogen and chlorine are made
Iridium is a key component in many electrochemical technologies used for chemical transformations. These include producing hydrogen fuel from water, manufacturing chlorine from seawater for use as a disinfectant and extracting ...
Phys.org / How mitochondria organize our 'second genome'
EPFL scientists have discovered that a simple shape change in mitochondria helps cells evenly distribute their mitochondrial DNA, solving a long-standing puzzle.
Phys.org / Quantum entanglement between electrons and ions captured at attosecond timescale
Quantum mechanics is extremely successful at describing the behavior of matter at the atomic level. This success forces one to accept that certain aspects of physical reality go far beyond our intuition. Among these, none ...
Medical Xpress / Overnight machine perfusion lets liver transplants safely shift to daytime, study shows
It is safe for patients to receive a donor liver that has been intentionally preserved overnight using machine perfusion to enable a daytime transplant. This is shown by a study performed at the University Medical Center ...
Medical Xpress / Why AI health chatbots won't make you better at diagnosing yourself: New research
Millions of people are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for advice on everything from cooking to tax returns. Increasingly, they are also asking chatbots about their health.
Medical Xpress / Truth, or misinformation? A statistician explains the challenge of assessing evidence
When United States Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled new dietary guidelines earlier this year to "Make America Healthy Again," they received a mixed response.
Phys.org / Early data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveals over 11,000 new asteroids
Using preliminary data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, scientists have discovered over 11,000 new asteroids. The data were confirmed by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center (MPC), making this the ...
Phys.org / Real-time nanoscale measurements map reduction and oxidation in solar-fuel reactions
Solar-power photocatalysis—turning sunlight into energy—holds promise for sustainable and cost-efficient energy and chemical production. Advancing the technology, though, has been hindered by a lack of understanding of exactly ...
