Phys.org / Researchers have spent decades breeding better potatoes for chips, and their work isn't done
There's a surprising amount of science in a bag of potato chips. Researchers have spent decades developing potatoes for chip makers that can grow in all kinds of climates, avoid diseases and pests, sit in storage for months ...
Phys.org / Engineers develop a new system to track material design processes
Discovering and characterizing new materials is important for unlocking advances in fields like clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and improved infrastructure. Researchers use machine learning and other computational tools ...
Medical Xpress / Five health conditions mothers can develop after giving birth
During pregnancy, a mother's body undergoes vast structural and functional changes. But what many might not know is that the after-effects of these changes can last long after giving birth—and can even result in the development ...
Medical Xpress / How a free medical telesimulation platform is saving children's lives
A new study on sepsis training in Ghana builds on prior research showing the impact of Annenberg Hotkeys, a free platform developed in 2020. It is being used in other medical settings—and its co-creator sees potential in ...
Phys.org / In age of AI, art's real power no longer lives in image alone but in who chooses what survives
Every year on 21 April, World Creativity and Innovation Day invites us to celebrate human ingenuity. Traditionally, that meant celebrating creativity through art, science, and new ideas. Today, it also means asking a more ...
Medical Xpress / Smart laser dimmer cuts neural crosstalk in brain-circuit imaging and control
A cross-disciplinary team led by Prof. Qu Jianan from the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and Prof. Julie L. Semmelhack from the Division of Life Science at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ...
Medical Xpress / A glimmer of hope for people living with chronic fatigue syndrome
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), long known as chronic fatigue syndrome, is now recognized as a complex, multi-system disease. However, it remains a medical enigma whose underlying causes are poorly understood, leaving those ...
Medical Xpress / Encouraging dieting and weight loss can shape youth body image into adulthood
Young adults spend hours a day on social media platforms filled with exercise influencers, fitness trends, and other appearance-focused content that can reinforce unrealistic body ideals. And for many of these younger people, ...
Tech Xplore / New twist on generative AI is quietly reshaping who wins when uncertainty hits hardest
Generative AI is best known for creating images and text. Now, it is helping industries make better planning decisions. Georgia Tech researchers have created a new AI model for decision-focused learning (DFL), called Diffusion-DFL. ...
Tech Xplore / The end of oil? As fuel shocks cascade, 53 nations gather to plan a fossil fuel phaseout
US President Donald Trump is a longtime climate denier and oil industry ally, who sums up his own energy policy as "drill, baby, drill." Yet he is doing more than almost anyone to speed up the global shift from fossil fuels ...
Phys.org / Research shows AI can catch financial errors before they cost millions
What if auditors could predict when errors are more likely to occur in financial reporting? Instead of simply improving techniques for detecting errors, they could focus on how to stop them from happening.
Phys.org / Global push for reuse stalls as fragmented policies hold back progress of tackling plastic pollution
Reuse systems, as a model to reduce plastic pollution, are beginning to emerge across the world but remain constrained by fragmented policies, weak financial incentives, and gaps in infrastructure, according to a trio of ...
