Medical Xpress / A new way to recharge aging muscle stem cells by restoring a key metabolic component
Losing muscle strength is a natural part of aging. At the core of this decline is a drop in the number of muscle stem cells (MuSCs), the specialized cells responsible for maintaining and regenerating muscle tissue throughout ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast switching device unlocks low-power optical-to-electrical conversion for AI hardware
Modern energy demands are soaring as technologies like AI and IoT become more common, and researchers have been working hard to develop hardware that can keep up. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo has ...
Phys.org / If AI can translate instantly, why learn another language?
From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, the technology to dissolve language barriers has arrived. Real-time translation powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is now embedded in everyday life.
Science X / How swarms of tiny light-controlled robots could revolutionize wound care
Having a swarm of microbots moving across your body may sound like the stuff of a horror movie, but it could actually be the future of targeted drug delivery and advanced wound healing. Scientists have developed a way to ...
Phys.org / White hydrogen discovered in billion-year-old Canadian Shield rock points to potential new energy source
Within the Canadian Shield, hydrogen gas is steadily building up naturally among some of the oldest rocks on Earth. Now, for the first time, geochemists at the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa have measured ...
Tech Xplore / Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix
Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the ...
Phys.org / AI-generated fake citations are flooding scientific literature across publications, scientists warn
The citations at the end of a research paper should represent a solid foundation of existing knowledge about a particular field, a pool of peer-reviewed sources built over years of research and study. However, with the increasing ...
Phys.org / Debunking a core chemistry concept taught in classrooms everywhere
A new study has revealed that a core idea taught in chemistry classrooms around the world may be wrong. Dr. Edwin Johnson, Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, co-authored the paper published in the Journal of Chemical ...
Medical Xpress / Why brain cells learn better: NMDA receptor maps may explain memory-linked calcium flow
The human brain constantly adapts in response to experiences, forming new connections between neurons and reorganizing existing ones. The brain's ability to adapt in response to experiences is known as neuroplasticity.
Phys.org / Mathematical analysis reveals a hidden 'golden rule' in abstract art
A mathematical method borrowed from topology can reveal structural properties of visual art that correspond to how people perceive and respond to them, according to a new study published in PLOS Computational Biology by Jacek ...
Science X / Across Bronze Age Sweden, carved footprints point to a ritual for turning social ties into stone
Etched into the ancient rocky outcrops of southern Scandinavia and large boulders left behind by retreating glaciers are footprints, also called podomorphic petroglyphs. Some are barefoot with every toe visible, while others ...
Phys.org / Sea level rise is swallowing US Mid-Atlantic farmland faster than expected, study finds
Ghost forests, the cemetery-like groupings of dead trees killed by saltwater intrusion, have become haunting symbols of sea level rise overtaking land along the Mid-Atlantic coast. But a new study published in Nature Sustainability, ...
