Phys.org / Researchers find coherent ferrons—polarization waves with potential across quantum and telecom applications
In new research published in Nature Materials, a team of researchers led by Columbia University chemist Xiaoyang Zhu, in collaboration with fellow Columbians Xavier Roy, Milan Delor, Dmitri Basov, and James McIver, has observed ...
Tech Xplore / South Korea floats AI profit social tax as tech giants boom
A top South Korean official has proposed a tax on AI profits to be redistributed among society as a semiconductor boom drives massive earnings for tech giants Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.
Tech Xplore / A South Korean startup captures workers' techniques to develop AI brains for robots
His head, chest and hands strapped with body cameras, David Park deftly folded a banquet napkin the way he has thousands of times during his nine years at the five-star Lotte Hotel Seoul. Each of his motions is fed into a ...
Medical Xpress / Data hidden in tuberculosis screening tests shed light on patients' overall mortality
Scientists have long known that the immune system plays a key role in aging. As people age, they have weaker responses to vaccination, greater risks of infection and higher levels of inflammation. A new study led by UCLA ...
Medical Xpress / AI joins the quest to find new treatments for rare diseases
Rare neuromuscular diseases often lack treatments because developing targeted drugs is slow, costly and risky for companies. A new approach using AI and stem cell models could finally shift the balance.
Medical Xpress / New positive data on old drugs: Digitalis reduces heart failure events
Analyses supporting the use of digitalis glycosides in patients with heart failure were presented in a Late-Breaking Science session today at Heart Failure 2026, the annual congress of the Heart Failure Association of the ...
Tech Xplore / Machines with the ability to 'feel' currently in development as we enter next frontier of AI
New artificial intelligence (AI) technologies currently in development could lead to an imminent future where machines no longer just process and analyze information, but can feel. In his new book "Perceptive Machines," futurologist ...
Phys.org / New model finds the lower size limit for habitable exoplanets
The search for Earth 2.0 has begun in earnest. But there's a huge variety of exoplanets out there, so narrowing down the search to focus valuable telescope time on only the best candidates is critical. One variable of a planet ...
Phys.org / Birds of prey in South Africa are in trouble—a study analyzes data from 16 years of road counts
Birds of prey and vultures (raptors) play a vital role in ecosystems, both as top predators and key scavengers. However, compared to many other bird species, raptor populations are declining faster. This is because they need ...
Phys.org / Generative AI may significantly reduce the number of animal experiments
In early phases of drug development, new active substances are tested in animals—alongside numerous other experimental methods. Researchers face a dilemma: on the one hand, for ethical reasons, they aim to keep the number ...
Medical Xpress / 1 in 3 women unaware surgery can fix pelvic prolapse, survey finds
Up to half of all women will experience some degree of pelvic organ prolapse in their lifetime. The condition can cause incontinence, constipation, and the descent of the bladder or uterus into the vagina. It can become debilitating ...
Phys.org / Chip-scale photonic approach achieves ultralow-noise microwave and millimeter-wave signal generation
Researchers led by Dr. Changmin Ahn and Prof. Jungwon Kim at KAIST, in collaboration with Prof. Hansuek Lee, have demonstrated a chip-scale photonic approach for generating ultralow-noise and highly stable microwave and millimeter-wave ...
