Tech Xplore / Low-power, flexible radio-frequency transistors break 100 GHz barrier
Over the past decades, electronics engineers worldwide have been trying to develop devices that could enable even faster communications between devices, all while consuming less energy. To meet the demands of the sixth generation ...
Phys.org / AI can mass-produce finance research papers indistinguishable from human work, reports study
Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) tools are capable of mass-producing academic finance papers that are nearly indistinguishable from human-authored research, according to a new study published ...
Phys.org / Improved embryo freezing technique could preserve endangered species
The current practice of freezing embryos—used to assist reproduction in humans or animals or to conserve endangered species—routinely causes ice to form within the cells, ripping through cell membranes, changing the way proteins ...
Tech Xplore / Abandoned oil and gas wells could help cut emissions, study suggests
Repurposing old oil and gas wells for geothermal power could significantly reduce environmental harm and unlock cleaner energy from existing infrastructure, but new research shows the approach will need targeted support to ...
Phys.org / Biologists improve biomass mapping tools to better track carbon storage
In the far north regions of Earth, where forests stretch across Alaska and Canada, climate change is unfolding at an accelerated pace. Arctic and boreal regions are warming two to four times faster than the global average, ...
Tech Xplore / Filtering out humanity: AI-assisted internet research favors cold logic over ethos and pathos
Is the internet losing its soul? A collaborative study by UC Riverside computer and social scientists suggests so. As artificial intelligence increasingly answers our online questions with quick summaries and polished explanations, ...

A News and Perspectives expert analysis on consumer wearable platforms' forays into the clinical health care space. Authored by MedTech expert Blythe Karow, MBA, "Meet the New Health Care Gatekeeper: Your Wearable" lays out ...
Phys.org / Nanotube-coated catheter could detect bladder cancer biomarker 50,000 times more sensitively
Every year, about 85,000 Americans are diagnosed with bladder cancer. While treatment is often successful, bladder cancer has one of the highest rates of recurrence of any cancer: Following treatment, about 50% of patients ...
Phys.org / Think it's hot now? The next five years will smash records, UN says
In the next five years, the Earth is overwhelmingly likely to surge again and again past the international climate threshold set as safe and shatter its hottest-year record along the way, according to new United Nations climate ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden brain circuit could explain how movement errors sharpen new skills
While humans are acquiring new skills that entail performing coordinated movements, such as walking, playing an instrument or skateboarding, their brains are known to continuously detect mistakes and correct movements over ...
Medical Xpress / Rising heat could triple heart disease burden in U.S. by 2050
A new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center predicts rising temperatures driven by climate change will dramatically increase heat-related ...
Phys.org / Lost elephant calf reunites with family after researchers track herd across Samburu reserve
Colorado State University Professor George Wittemyer and his research team reunited a 4-month-old elephant calf with her family after she wandered into a tourist camp alone. The orphaned elephant calf was disoriented from ...
