Phys.org / From metabolism to disease: Mitochondria's hidden signaling networks unveiled
The structural and functional characteristics of mitochondria shape their role as signaling organelles, with far-reaching effects regarding immune responses, inflammatory processes, and diseases. A research team led by Professor ...
Medical Xpress / Perceiving nature in daily life and exercise linked to better mental health
Is living in a leafy neighborhood enough to improve your mental health? Not necessarily. What matters most is frequent exposure to nature across different settings, especially while being physically active. That's the takeaway ...
Tech Xplore / Emoticons can confuse LLMs, causing 'silent failures' in coding responses
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used by people worldwide. These models have proved to be effective in rapidly sourcing ...
Phys.org / Amazon Leo satellites exceed brightness limits, study finds
Seeing a satellite zip across the night sky can be a fascinating sight. However, what may be spectacular for people on the ground is becoming a major problem for astronomers. A new study published on the arXiv preprint server ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny silicon structures compute with heat, achieving 99% accurate matrix multiplication
MIT researchers have designed silicon structures that can perform calculations in an electronic device using excess heat instead of electricity. These tiny structures could someday enable more energy-efficient computation. ...
Phys.org / From stellar engines to Dyson bubbles, alien megastructures could hold themselves together under the right conditions
New theoretical models have strengthened the case that immense, energy-harvesting structures orbiting their host stars could exist in principle in distant stellar systems. With the right engineering precautions, calculations ...
Medical Xpress / Radiotherapy is more effective when administered at the right time of day, study finds
A team of researchers have identified a fundamental mechanism that links the 24-hour circadian cycle to the precise repair of DNA breaks. This study, conducted by researchers from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology ...
Medical Xpress / AI-supported mammography screening results in fewer aggressive and advanced breast cancers
Artificial intelligence (AI)-supported mammography identifies more cancers during screening and reduces the rate of breast cancer diagnosis by 12% in the years following, finds the first randomized controlled trial of its ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests young adults' memories of childhood adversity shift with parental support
New research from Michigan State University finds that how young adults recall adverse childhood experiences fluctuates based on the current quality of their relationships—particularly with their parents.
Phys.org / The Great Mongolian Road: Japanese Imperial Army maps reveal first detailed documentation
In a study published in the Journal of Historical Geography, researchers Dr. Chris McCarthy and his colleagues have documented, for the first time, the Great Mongolian Road, a major yet understudied east-west caravan route ...
Phys.org / Overcoming the solubility crisis: A solvent-free method to enhance drug bioavailability
A large share of medicines developed today may never reach patients for a surprisingly simple reason: they cannot dissolve well enough in water. For most treatments, the oral route remains the gold standard because it is ...
Medical Xpress / Chill brain-music interface: Using brain signals to enhance the emotional power of music
Musical chills are pleasurable shivers or goosebump sensations that people feel when they resonate with the music they're listening to. They reduce stress and have beneficial side effects, but they are difficult to induce ...
