Tech Xplore / A better way to turn 2D designs into 3D models for rapid prototyping
Engineers often use vision-language models to produce new designs, such as airplane or automobile components. To simulate how those components will perform in realistic situations, they'll use tried-and-true computer-aided ...
Phys.org / FIFA and pop superstars should discount tickets for fans to keep climate costs of 'mega-events' down, say researchers
The vast majority of carbon emissions caused by "mega-events" such as World Cups and global concert tours come from audience travel, according to University of Cambridge researchers. In a new study, researchers estimate that ...
Phys.org / Water-exchange openings linked to distinct marine communities inside offshore wind foundations
Research carried out three years after installation at the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm in the North Sea has found that distinct marine communities have developed inside offshore wind turbine foundations equipped ...
Phys.org / Hazardous Canadian wildfire smoke choking millions in US
The Manhattan skyline was obscured by thick haze, and Chicago closed its beaches Thursday as out-of-control Canadian wildfires raged, sending smoke spewing into the United States and exposing millions of people to dangerously ...
Phys.org / New method makes epigenetic aging clocks accurate and easier to interpret
Epigenetic clocks are important tools in modern aging research. Typically, they use characteristic DNA methylation patterns in the genome to precisely predict a person's age and infer conclusions about the individual's biological ...
Phys.org / Microplastics reach even 2,000 meters below the ocean surface, study finds
Plastic pollution has become a global environmental crisis, with an estimated 11 million tons of plastic entering the oceans each year. As larger plastic debris breaks down into microplastics, these tiny particles are transported ...
Phys.org / Global soil protections deliver measurable gains for farmland health
Erosion, salinization and shrinking numbers of organisms such as worms and beneficial fungi can have a devastating effect on soil fertility, and so many parts of the world have passed laws to curb these processes. A study ...
Tech Xplore / Tiny molecular layers help perovskite solar cells survive 1,210 hours of heat and light
Solar cells' efficiency and lifespan are often determined by what happens at interfaces—the microscopic boundaries where different materials meet. Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) ...
Phys.org / New map shows which neighborhoods are at risk of climate gentrification
Extreme heat is not only making cities less livable; it is also reshaping who can afford to live where. The highest levels of vulnerability to climate gentrification are no longer found in the urban core, but in the metropolitan ...
Tech Xplore / A method to create fault-tolerant analog in-memory computing systems
Conventional computers process and store information using separate components, known as a processor and memory unit. Because transferring data from one component to the other can be energy-consuming, many electronics engineers ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 shows promise for patients with advanced fatty liver disease
Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have reported results from a large international clinical trial showing that semaglutide, a medication in the GLP-1 class of drugs widely used to treat ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered election forecasts reveal hidden preferences inside language models
An international research team involving the University of Bayreuth has, for the first time, analyzed the "inner workings" of AI language models when predicting political voting decisions. To do so, the researchers examined ...
