Tech Xplore / Existing power grids draw data centers to cities, study finds
When people picture a data center, they often imagine something remote: a huge warehouse humming quietly far from the city. New research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering shows that assumption is largely wrong.
Phys.org / AI use mirrors student schedules in study of 77,000 online learners
How do students actually use AI learning assistants? A new research paper by IU International University of Applied Sciences provides the first robust answers to this question. For the study "Using AI-based Learning Assistants ...
Medical Xpress / Study of 2 million newborns ties skipped vitamin K shot to higher bleeding risk
Newborns receive several routine immunizations shortly after birth. Prophylactic vitamin K is one such recommended shot. It activates several coagulation factors necessary for blood to clot properly, preventing vitamin K ...
Medical Xpress / Mighty mitochondria: Scientists uncover new role for fighting bacterial infections, including drug-resistant superbugs
Beyond the nucleus, no other organelle in eukaryotic cells captures the public's imagination quite like mitochondria: They are the engines of cellular energy production; they possess their own DNA, and they are passed from ...
Phys.org / Pine bark and sponge compounds could counter drug-resistant malaria and babesiosis
As parasites become increasingly resistant to existing drugs, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, are working to develop a new generation of treatments for two serious infectious diseases: malaria and ...
Medical Xpress / Deadly brain tumors show vulnerability to new sound wave approach
In a promising sign for the potential of focused sound waves to improve care for brain tumors, UVA Health researchers have determined that tumors called gliomas may be even more receptive to targeted drug delivery than normal ...
Phys.org / AI opens new era in cognitive studies of wild primates
Scientists created an AI system that uses facial recognition and real-time touchscreen testing to automate cognitive studies of capuchin monkeys in the wild. The American Journal of Primatology published a proof-of-concept ...
Phys.org / Lichen-like life 600 million years ago may push back origins of fungal-algal partnerships
Two organisms inhabiting a common environment can sometimes mutually influence each other, either benefiting or, in some cases, damaging one another. This mutually beneficial or ambivalent biological relationship is known ...
Phys.org / Diego Rivera claimed his mural Creation was half wax, but chemical forensics says otherwise
Adorning the walls of San Ildefonso College in Mexico City is artist Diego Rivera's masterpiece, rendered in fresco and gold leaf, The Creation, or La Creacioń. It depicts a man standing with his arms outstretched beneath ...
Phys.org / Quantum computer completes verified task beyond practical reach of classical simulations
IBM and researchers from the University of Chicago announced a demonstration in quantum computing that meets the fundamental criteria for "quantum advantage"—the point where quantum computers can be confirmed to have outperformed ...
Phys.org / Pacific cloud brightening could weaken El Nino, but models reveal risks for Europe and Asia
A brewing "super" El Nino cycle is poised to unleash heat waves, floods and drought worldwide, with the effects amplified by long-term human-caused climate change.
Phys.org / Physicists link the Riemann Hypothesis to phase transitions in quantum systems
A new study in Nature Communications has established a link between the Riemann Hypothesis and dynamical phase transitions in engineered quantum systems, demonstrating the effect on a quantum processor.
