Phys.org / New machine-learning models capture the rapid evolution of antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly dangerous problem affecting global health. In 2019 alone, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounted for more than 100,000 global deaths attributable to ...
Phys.org / The perfect polymer? Plant-based plastic is fully saltwater degradable and leaves behind zero microplastics
Researchers led by Takuzo Aida at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) in Japan have one-upped themselves in their quest to solve our microplastic problem.
Tech Xplore / AI agents debate their way to improved mathematical reasoning
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used worldwide to create written content, source information and even to code websites ...
Phys.org / Why many Americans avoid negotiating, even when it costs them
Would you pay more for a car just to skip the negotiation process? According to new research by David Hunsaker, clinical associate professor of management at the IU Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, many Americans would—and ...
Phys.org / Saturn's biggest moon might not have an ocean after all
Careful reanalysis of data from more than a decade ago indicates that Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, does not have a vast ocean beneath its icy surface, as suggested previously. Instead, a journey below the frozen exterior ...
Phys.org / Overlooked hydrogen emissions are heating Earth and supercharging methane, research finds
Rising global emissions of hydrogen over the past three decades have added to the planet's warming temperatures and amplified the impact of methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases, according to new research published ...
Phys.org / Could advanced civilizations communicate like fireflies
Long before scientists discovered that other stars in the universe host their own planetary systems, humanity had contemplated the existence of life beyond Earth. As our technology matured and we began monitoring the night ...
Phys.org / Perseverance Mars rover ready to roll for miles in years ahead
After nearly five years on Mars, NASA's Perseverance rover has traveled almost 25 miles (40 kilometers), and the mission team has been busy testing the rover's durability and gathering new science findings on the way to a ...
Medical Xpress / Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
When Americans begin taking appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the changes extend well beyond the bathroom scale. According to new research, the medications are associated with meaningful reductions in how ...
Medical Xpress / Key protein ACE2 could protect against high blood pressure and diabetes
Proteins circulating in the blood can reveal what's happening in the body, from how we process energy to how diseases develop. Unlike genetic testing, which shows fixed risk factors from birth, protein analysis provides a ...
Tech Xplore / 'Personality test' shows how AI chatbots mimic human traits—and how they can be manipulated
Researchers have developed the first scientifically validated "personality test" framework for popular AI chatbots, and have shown that chatbots not only mimic human personality traits, but their "personality" can be reliably ...
Phys.org / Long-hypothesized dynamic transition seen in deeply supercooled water for the first time
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have achieved the first experimental observation of a fragile-to-strong transition in deeply supercooled water, resolving a scientific puzzle that has persisted for ...
