What we eat plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A well-balanced meal rich in essential micronutrients not only fuels the body but may also help protect against metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. There ...
Phys.org / Mapping thorium's preferred sites could pave the way for nuclear clocks
For decades, physicists have used a technique called Mössbauer spectroscopy to peer inside solid materials, revealing fine details of their surroundings by studying how their atomic nuclei absorb and re-emit gamma rays.
Phys.org / What would happen to human interaction if AI could read our emotions?
AI systems are increasingly being developed to recognize emotions by analyzing facial expressions, voices, body language and other physiological signals. Although the scientific validity of many of these systems remains contested, ...
Phys.org / New solar system models show Earth is no fluke
Over the past three decades, computer models of planetary system formation have gone from fairly crude representations to sophisticated simulations using thousands of different starting points.
Medical Xpress / The hidden cost of high performance: New research questions 'win-at-all-costs' sport culture
Are the systems designed to support New Zealand's high-performance athletes harming them instead?
Medical Xpress / Could the way you walk reveal Alzheimer's years before symptoms begin?
By the time Alzheimer's disease begins affecting a person's memory, the underlying changes in the brain may have been developing for decades. That delay limits opportunities for early intervention by the time most people ...
Phys.org / Marker words suggest sharp rise in AI-assisted biomedical writing after ChatGPT
Up until two years ago, using large language models was still considered a special skill that everyone was encouraged to learn. Now, it is ubiquitous, especially in writing research papers that eventually become part of the ...
Phys.org / LHC collisions reveal oxygen and neon's shifting nuclear geometry
Many people are aware that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN smashes tiny subatomic particles together at nearly the speed of light to test foundational laws of physics and discover new fundamental particles, but some ...
Phys.org / Cowpea plants create underground defense system for the next generation after insect attacks
Plants might seem helpless when it comes to insect attacks, but they are known to employ various techniques to deter pests. One of these techniques involves sending out signals to recruit parasitoid wasps, and a new study, ...
Phys.org / A little Big Bang: Bowling-pin-shaped nuclei shed new light on the universe's first moments
What happened in the first moments of the universe—before the building blocks of life and the world we know today came into existence? Physicists at the CERN research facility in Switzerland are trying to answer this question ...
Phys.org / Engineered yeasts help turn PET plastic and crop waste into protein-rich cookies
Plastic might be the last ingredient you would ever add to a cookie recipe. But a team of researchers is looking to change that. They've programmed yeasts to turn plastic and agricultural waste into edible proteins and flavoring ...
