Science X / The keyboard trap: Why your best arguments are failing online
While 84% of people prefer to type out a disagreement, new research involving 1,842 conversations reveals that the "safer" choice is actually fueling social friction. In an era of digital flame wars and rising political partisanship, ...
Medical Xpress / One of the world's most common knee surgeries does not help and may even be harmful
Partial meniscectomy does not improve patient symptoms or function, reveals a 10-year follow-up of the FIDELITY, a placebo-surgery controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Science X / For centuries these dazzling Roman bowls were misread—until chemical traces exposed an unexpected maker
For centuries, archaeologists debated the origins of Rome's exquisite mosaic-glass bowls. Now, chemical fingerprints in 101 ancient shards point to a surprising center of production: Italy, not Egypt. This discovery challenges ...
Phys.org / Newly confirmed supernova remnant is one of the faintest ever detected
An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new supernova remnant (SNR) using radio observations. The newfound supernova remnant, dubbed Abeona, is one of the faintest radio SNRs so far detected. The discovery ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired approach can teach AI to doubt itself just enough to avoid overconfidence
Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems learn to complete tasks via machine learning and deep learning. Machine learning is a computational approach that allows models to uncover patterns in data that are useful ...
Medical Xpress / A routine virus can slow breast cancer spread to the lungs, offering hidden protective power
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), mostly infects the lungs, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, and can cause illness ranging from mild cold and fever-like symptoms to severe pneumonia and bronchitis. A recent study has ...
Phys.org / New copy of earliest poem in English language discovered by researchers in Rome
An early ninth-century manuscript containing a text of the first known poem in the English language has been discovered in Rome by researchers from Trinity College Dublin. The newly-discovered manuscript in the National Central ...
Phys.org / Single X-ray photons reveal hidden light-matter interactions in 50-nanometer double slits
A rainbow reveals with colors what otherwise remains hidden: light is "refracted" by transparent matter, in this case water droplets. This same physical effect underlies many everyday technologies, like LCD screens and broadband ...
Phys.org / 42 lost pages of the new testament manuscript discovered
An international team of academics led by Professor Garrick Allen at the University of Glasgow has successfully recovered 42 lost pages from one of the world's most important early New Testament manuscripts: Codex H.
Phys.org / Self-regulating process governs cosmic order inside star clusters
A team of astrophysicists from Nanjing University and University of Bonn have demonstrated that, rather than being random, the mass of new stars born inside a star cluster is actually governed by a defined process of self-regulation. ...
Phys.org / Why delaying climate action now means higher seas by 2100
Imagine your favorite sunny beach. Anywhere will do. You look out and see the ocean stretching to the horizon. To a glaciologist, that view is not just water; it's melted ice. Our new study shows that the best case sea-level ...
Medical Xpress / Glioblastoma mapping uncovers four recurring tumor cell communities, revealing treatment targets
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer that is known to be very difficult to treat. One reason why this type of cancer is often resistant to available treatments is that it is characterized by a highly diverse ...
