Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy plus chemo cuts stage three dMMR colon cancer recurrence by 50%
Colon cancer is the third most prevalent form of cancer in the U.S., and its incidence is increasing among younger adults, particularly those younger than 50. While colon cancer screening has helped prevent and detect it ...
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 / How AI English and human English differ—and how to decide when to use artificial language
Suspicion and affection. Apprehension and excitement. Most people have mixed feelings about AI English, whether or not they always recognize it. When reading text generated by AI, people feel it sounds off, or fake. When ...
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 / Experimental evidence shows how photons spread across multiple paths in an interferometer
The nature of quantum particles has long puzzled scientists. While single-particle interference suggests that a photon can behave like a spread-out wave, a whole photon is only ever detected in one specific place. Traditional ...
Tech Xplore / New bifacial solar cells yield efficiencies above 32%
Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the past few years, energy engineers have been exploring alternative designs that could further boost ...
Phys.org / Quantum computers could have a fundamental limit after all
The performance of quantum computers could cap out after around 1,000 qubits, according to a new analysis published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Through new calculations, Tim Palmer at the University ...
Phys.org / How Neanderthals used a lakeshore in Germany to hunt, butcher and survive
In 1948, a group of amateurs led by a local headmaster in Lehringen, Germany, uncovered the skeleton of a straight-tusked elephant—the largest land mammal known to have roamed Europe—in 125,000-year-old sediments from the ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Global maps show alien plant invasion hotspots shifting poleward
An international research team led by the University of Vienna has produced, for the first time, high-resolution global maps of invasion risk for thousands of alien plant species under current conditions and future climate ...
Medical Xpress / A stable sense of purpose helps teens navigate life's challenges
Like their emotions and self-esteem, teenagers' sense of purpose fluctuates day to day, and those who experience it steadily—not just intensely—may benefit most, new Cornell research finds. Studying the phenomenon in adolescents ...
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 ...
