Phys.org / Radio waves enable energy-efficient AI on edge devices without heavy hardware
As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world's decision-making is occurring autonomously on the edge—on the small devices that gather information at the ends of ...
Phys.org / Q&A: What do scientists need to learn next about blocking enzymes to treat disease?
Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have designed drugs to slow ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows federal safety metric inappropriately penalizes hospitals for lifesaving stroke procedures
A new UCLA study reveals that a widely used federal hospital safety metric is fundamentally flawed when applied to emergency stroke care, potentially creating incentives that may discourage hospitals from performing lifesaving ...
Phys.org / X-ray spectra provide sharpest image to date of a rapidly spinning black hole
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), a joint mission between the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NASA, launched on Sept. 7th, 2023. Its advanced imaging filters and spectrometers were designed ...
Phys.org / Australia declares state of disaster as bushfires rage

Medical Xpress / Teens use cellphones for an hour a day at school, study finds
U.S. adolescents spend more than one hour per day on smartphones during school hours, with social media accounting for the largest share of use, according to research published in JAMA. The findings have relevance for educators, ...
Medical Xpress / Insurance data can help fill gaps between longer medical trials for patients up against the clock
Randomized clinical trials remain the gold standard for establishing a medication's effects, producing the evidence by which most drugs and interventions in the U.S. are approved.
Phys.org / Recommendations for reintroducing charophytes for better water quality and biodiversity in lakes
Charophytes are extremely beneficial to lakes, improving water quality and biodiversity. However, their abundance was found to decline in many lakes without clear signs of eutrophication during recent decades.
Tech Xplore / Ionogel innovation could power safe, enduring energy storage
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an innovative energy storage system design that introduces a safer, more efficient method for electrical charge transfer.
Phys.org / Pandora, a keen-eyed satellite built to study exoplanets, readies for launch
Pandora, the latest in a long portfolio of University of Arizona's space science missions, has cleared its last major milestone on its journey into space. This week, Pandora—a satellite about the size of fridge—was mounted ...
