Phys.org / From 718 options to one standout, catalyst screening method reveals durable RuO₂ candidate
Why settle for a trial-and-error approach, reviewing an almost endless number of combinations, when you can systematically narrow the list to something more manageable using established data and knowledge?
Medical Xpress / Multilingual benchmark evaluates how well AI interprets clinical text and health records in nine languages
Researchers at Mass General Brigham recently developed BRIDGE, a multilingual benchmark that evaluates how well large language models (LLMs) understand clinical patient care text, including language used in electronic health ...
Phys.org / How evolution can make cells smaller without slowing down their growth
A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce cell size without significantly compromising cells' ability to grow. The work, carried out in yeast ...
Medical Xpress / AI model proves to be a heavyweight in tumor assessment: Mesothelioma patients and physicians benefit
Physicians and researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have developed an AI model that outperforms physicians in evaluating treatment response in pleural mesothelioma. Far more accurate than the current international ...
Medical Xpress / Cannabis caution as study finds increased psychosis risk for young people
Young people who use cannabis daily are up to four times more likely to develop psychosis than those who don't, according to an international study led by University of Queensland researchers. The review analyzed evidence ...
Science X / Space travel may strip away the mind's oldest anchor, opening a state of consciousness humans rarely experience
When astronauts float free of Earth's pull, their bodies adapt—but something strange happens in their minds. Many report feeling "unmoored," "expanded" or "disconnected," as if reality itself has shifted. Iconic cases like ...
Phys.org / Bird flu kills 13,000 seal pups on remote Australian island
A pathogenic strain of bird flu killed more than 13,000 elephant seal pups after infecting a breeding colony on a sub-Antarctic volcanic island, Australian scientists said Thursday.
Phys.org / Fungi help lock carbon into Arctic fjord sediments
Arctic fjords are among the most efficient natural systems for absorbing and storing carbon long term. However, as the Arctic is warming about four times faster than the global average, fjord ecosystems are changing rapidly. ...
Medical Xpress / Amyloid precursor protein protects neurons during nuclear waste disposal
Researchers at Niigata University's Brain Research Institute have uncovered a new function of amyloid precursor protein (APP), a molecule long studied as the precursor to amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study ...
Phys.org / Bringing ancient light-sensing proteins back to life
Resurrecting dinosaurs using DNA retrieved from a mosquito trapped in amber is a great movie plot, though it's less likely to happen in the real world. However, researchers have been trying to unlock the secrets behind the ...
Medical Xpress / Autism-related genes may share common path during early brain development
Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, yet the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it remain largely unclear. A new study published in Nature, led by Gaia Novarino at the Institute of Science and Technology ...
Tech Xplore / Hydroplaning risk rises with speed and shallow water but drops past 10 mm, study finds
As summer approaches, you might be planning a road trip. A recent study from the University of Georgia explores how you can stay safe while driving in the rain. Vehicles can hydroplane when water gathers on a road, causing ...
