Phys.org / New AI model predicts record high dipole moments in unexpected molecules
Chemists may soon have one less rigorous step to worry about when searching for the right molecules to accomplish their highly specific innovation needs. Scientists have now built a new machine learning model that can predict ...
Phys.org / ShadowCam search casts doubt on abundant lunar ice
New observations by a team of US astronomers have cast fresh doubt on whether the lunar surface could host abundant water ice. Publishing their results in Science Advances, a team led by Shuai Li at the University of Hawaii ...
Phys.org / A new entanglement-enhanced quantum sensing scheme
Over the past decades, quantum scientists have introduced various technologies that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, including quantum sensors, computers and memory devices. Most of these technologies leverage ...
Phys.org / The fish species that knows when you are watching them
Emperor cichlids, large fish native to Lake Tanganyika in Africa, don't like being stared at, especially if someone's gaze is directed at their offspring. Those are the findings of a new study published in the journal Royal ...
Phys.org / Pompeii's battle scars linked to an ancient 'machine gun'
The ancient city of Pompeii is one of those archaeological sites that keeps on giving with one discovery after another. While much of what we know about the Roman settlement comes from the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, another ...
Phys.org / Mussel-inspired glue from recycled plastics can be detached and reused
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a reusable adhesive from waste polymers that is tougher than commercial glues, works underwater as well as in dry environments, and bonds ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robot learns impressive tennis skills from imperfect human motion
Roboticists have struggled to get humanoid robots to effectively replicate athletic sports skills, such as those needed for tennis. These sports require highly dynamic motion, quick reactions, and high precision that robots ...
Medical Xpress / Key protein found to protect cartilage, offering new hope for osteoarthritis treatment
Osteoarthritis, a condition that causes pain and reduced mobility in joints such as the knees and fingers, is one of the most common joint disorders worldwide, particularly among aging populations. The disease is characterized ...
Phys.org / Study maps particulate thiols across western North Pacific, tracing them to phytoplankton
In Science of The Total Environment, researchers demonstrate the broad distribution of particulate thiols in the western North Pacific and show that their main source is marine phytoplankton. The analysis indicates that differences ...
Medical Xpress / An immune signaling pathway drives pain in arthritis, researchers discover
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack body tissues, particularly joints, leading to inflammation, swelling, ...
Phys.org / How moss could help roads cope with heavy rain and reduce air pollution
Across Europe, many banks alongside motorways are planted with grass to stabilize soil and keep roadside landscapes tidy.
Medical Xpress / What to know about fatty liver disease and why it's so common
Fatty liver disease is when too much fat builds up in the liver. The liver is the body's filter. It helps clean the blood, store energy and process nutrients. If too much fat stays in the liver, it can harm the organ and ...
