Tech Xplore / US electric grids under pressure from energy-hungry data centers are changing strategy
With the explosive growth of Big Tech's data centers threatening to overload U.S. electricity grids, policymakers are taking a hard look at a tough-love solution: bumping the energy-hungry data centers off grids during power ...
Phys.org / How interstellar objects similar to 3I/ATLAS could jumpstart planet formation around infant stars
Interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS that have been captured in planet-forming disks around young stars could become the seeds of giant planets, bypassing a hurdle that theoretical models have previously been unable to explain.
Phys.org / New dinosaur from Wales identified in museum drawer
Paleontologists at the University of Bristol have officially identified a new species of dinosaur from Triassic fossil beds in South Wales, near Penarth—more than 125 years after the specimen was initially reported.
Medical Xpress / Antioxidant shield for T cell telomeres shows promise against tumor-induced exhaustion
Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell's energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion and poor cancer outcomes.
Medical Xpress / Personalized brain stimulation shows benefit for depression
A more precise and personalized form of electric brain stimulation may be a more effective and faster treatment for people with moderate to major depression compared to other similar treatments, according to a UCLA Health ...
Phys.org / AI uncovers hidden rules of some of nature's toughest protein bonds
Imagine tugging on a Chinese finger trap. The harder you pull, the tighter it grips. This counterintuitive behavior also exists in biology. Certain protein complexes can form catch-bonds, tightening their grip when force ...
Tech Xplore / Humans sense a collaborating robot as part of their 'extended' body
Researchers from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa (Italy) and Brown University in Providence (U.S.) have discovered that people sense the hand of a humanoid robot as part of their body schema, particularly ...
Phys.org / First-ever complete measurement of a black-hole recoil achieved thanks to gravitational waves
A team of researchers led by the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) has measured for the first time the speed and direction of the recoil of a newborn ...
Phys.org / Nano-switch achieves first directed, gated flow of excitons
A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum quasiparticles called excitons at room temperature.
Medical Xpress / Squishy 'smart cartilage' could target arthritis pain as soon as flareups begin
Researchers have developed a material that can sense tiny changes within the body, such as during an arthritis flareup, and release drugs exactly where and when they are needed.
Phys.org / Southeast Pacific sediment cores are an 8-million-year-old climate archive of temperature effects on the ocean
Under the lead of the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), a sediment core from the Southeast Pacific was examined that reflects the last 8 million years of Earth's history.
Phys.org / eDNA alone may mislead tracking of marine species' shifting ranges, study finds
Traces of DNA in the environment can tell us how species' ranges are changing as a result of increasing sea temperatures.
