Phys.org / Hi-res microscopes give biologists petabytes of data. Scientists are creating an AI assistant to make sense of it
In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley, campus, two bespoke microscopes—each a Swiss Army knife for high-resolution imaging—operate around the clock gathering data that will help train a game-changing ...
Phys.org / DNA reveals hidden biodiversity loss in Ontario streams, offering powerful new tool for freshwater monitoring
Researchers using cutting-edge environmental DNA (eDNA) technology have uncovered far greater biodiversity in eastern Ontario waterways than traditional monitoring methods detected over more than a decade, demonstrating the ...
Phys.org / Graphene quantum dots show promise in targeting Parkinson's-related protein clumping
The buildup of a protein called 𝛂-synuclein (ASN) into toxic clumps is a hallmark of synucleinopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Parkinson's and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These aggregates are ...
Tech Xplore / Research finds hotel booking chatbots can 'creep out' customers
Travelers who use AI-powered chatbots on hotel booking platforms often feel uneasy. That discomfort can cause them to disengage or delay booking decisions, according to new research from the Texas A&M College of Agriculture ...
Phys.org / Controlled experiments reveal how nuclear fallout particles form
In less than a millionth of a second after a nuclear detonation or a severe nuclear reactor accident, an enormous burst of energy heats the surrounding air and materials. Everything in the vicinity is vaporized into a hot, ...
Tech Xplore / Huawei touts new chipmaking technology to sidestep US restrictions
Chinese tech giant Huawei said on Monday it had developed a new way of making semiconductors that could get around its US-enforced lack of access to the most advanced chipmaking equipment.
Phys.org / Emergence of new cavefish species challenges evolutionary dead-end idea
A new Yale study identifies a distinct species of eyeless cavefish, a discovery that challenges long-held conventional wisdom that caves and other subterranean ecosystems are evolutionary dead ends.
Science X / Your brain's inner AI has a wild side, explaining every trippy vision you could imagine
Imagine what would happen if the enigmas of the human brain could be unraveled through technologies developed to replicate its workings. Consider an experience involving spiraling fractal shapes, forming a kaleidoscope of ...
Medical Xpress / FDA approves Inqovi for acute myeloid leukemia
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Taiho Oncology's Inqovi (decitabine and cedazuridine) plus venetoclax for the treatment of adults with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are 75 years or older ...
Phys.org / The Pennine hills are full of holes—here's how they're helping fight climate change
Thousands of holes are appearing in the Pennine hills, as part of efforts to improve carbon storage by restoring damaged peatland.
Medical Xpress / Early lung damage mapped in children with cystic fibrosis
Researchers have mapped how lung damage begins early in life for children with cystic fibrosis, providing new insights that will help reshape future care. The research team, led by Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) ...
Tech Xplore / New framework helps robots turn complex language into precise 3D actions
Over the past few decades, roboticists worldwide have introduced increasingly advanced robots that can understand human instructions, move in their surroundings and reliably complete basic manual tasks. While they perform ...
