Phys.org / Super transformer aims to bring order to biology's data under one AI model
Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all that information together ...
Phys.org / Tiny insect brain discovery offers a blueprint for faster and more efficient AI and robots
The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains process information. ...
Phys.org / Elastic rules may explain why nematic crystals look ordered and disordered at once
Electronic nematicity is a phase of some crystalline solids in which electrons' collective properties, such as charge or spin densities, organize themselves into ordered patterns, lowering the crystal's rotational symmetry. ...
Science X / Sweet snacks, sour moods? The unexpected connection in little kids' diets
For little kids, sugary treats might fuel tantrums while fruit-and-vegetable lovers stay calmer. New Norwegian research teases out this surprising link between preschool diets and behavior.
Phys.org / Decades of deep sea mining research show threat to seafloor creatures
There's increasing interest in deep-sea mining, but the impacts that this will have on the animals that live in the depths isn't fully understood. A new review led by our scientists is giving us our first insight into how ...
Medical Xpress / AI pathology framework can enable a deeper understanding of cancer
The digital transformation of pathology is opening up new possibilities for cancer diagnosis. Today's artificial intelligence (AI) techniques now go far beyond mere automation: they make it possible to extract previously ...
Medical Xpress / The slow burn behind type 2 diabetes revealed
More than half a billion people worldwide are living with diabetes, the vast majority with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a chronic condition that continues to rise alongside aging populations and changing lifestyles. Despite its ...
Science X / Who are his people? The 4,000-year hunt for a warrior's kin
For 4,200 years, the Y chromosome of a Yakutian warrior has quietly echoed in Siberia's Arctic peoples. His extraordinary Stone Age grave was discovered in Russia's far northeast near Yakutsk in 2004 by scientists. The middle-aged ...
Phys.org / Packed together, they melt differently: What happens when one iceberg enters another's icy wake
Earth's ice is melting. As icebergs break away from glaciers and melt away, the fresh meltwater mixes into its saltwater surroundings. However, icebergs do not exist in isolation. In Greenland, for example, jammed collections ...
Medical Xpress / Global outbreaks may fuel violence against women—but most cases go unmeasured
Violence against women and girls may increase during infectious disease outbreaks—as economic strain, isolation and disrupted services reshape daily life—yet those impacts remain largely unmeasured, according to researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Unmasking autism spectrum disorder through its gene-based roots
Two studies led by the Chahrour Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center shed new light on genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the neurodevelopmental disease characterized by impaired communication, abnormal ...
Medical Xpress / This hand-held cancer probe feels what surgeons may miss and changes how tumors are found in real time
Breast cancer impacts over two million women around the world each year. Following radiotherapy or chemotherapy, breast-conserving surgery is the first line of intervention for early-stage breast cancer. This surgery aims ...
