Phys.org / New Gulf Coast plan uses ocean technology to trap carbon dioxide
The motion of the ocean may be the key to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so University of Houston researchers set out to determine which U.S. coastlines are best suited for the process in a new study.
Phys.org / Reconstructed 1.5‑billion‑year‑old protein network reveals hundreds of hidden disease‑linked genes
A University of Texas at Austin-led team has reconstructed the most detailed map to date of the molecular machines that carried out the functions of life in an ancient ancestor that gave rise to all complex life on Earth, ...
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 ...
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, ...
Phys.org / A rare blue micromoon rises this weekend
Get set for a rare blue micromoon this weekend—a blue moon that's also the most distant and smallest-looking full moon of the year.
Phys.org / New technology to transform professional development in schools
Professional learning and student assessment in schools is set to be transformed, thanks to a first of its kind advance in education technology led by the University of Glasgow.
Phys.org / Modeling the Gulf: A researcher's quest to map every current, particle and tide
Understanding the dynamics of how water moves is deceptively simple in concept and endlessly complex in practice. Real-world marine environments are anything but controlled: weather, seasons, and geography change constantly. ...
Phys.org / Cells trap heat in ways standard fluid physics cannot explain, study finds
Living cells cool much slower than our current understanding of heat conduction can explain, according to new research from the University of Tokyo. Researchers have used two techniques—high-speed temperature mapping and ...
Tech Xplore / Robot learns to play music by ear, opening new possibilities in medicine and therapy
Scientists at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have developed a robotic hand that can hear a melody once and play it back after just two minutes of self-taught practice on a keyboard, without relying on sheet music or ...
Medical Xpress / Why caffeine can sabotage deep sleep even when you still get eight hours
Evening coffee has sparked controversy for years. Some people fall asleep without difficulty, while others toss and turn for half the night. However, a growing body of research suggests the question of whether coffee makes ...
Medical Xpress / Autoimmune disease linked to poor outcomes with myelodysplastic syndrome
Having a preexisting autoimmune disease is an independent risk factor for poor outcomes with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), according to a study published in the June issue of Clinical Immunology.
Phys.org / Heavily reddened quasars caught going through a 'blow-out' phase
At the center of most large galaxies sits a supermassive black hole (SMBH). When these black holes are actively consuming material, they become incredibly luminous quasars. But some quasars appear wrapped in thick clouds ...
