Medical Xpress / AI blood assay detects liver cancer across diverse international populations
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center validated an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered blood test that accurately detected liver cancer in people from two geographically and biologically distinct populations ...
Phys.org / Black hole feeding frenzy ends in lingering cosmic indigestion
Black holes are often portrayed as cosmic gluttons that swallow everything that comes too close. But new observations of a dramatic black hole outburst—led by Warwick Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Noel Castro Segura—suggest the ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover 210-million-year-old dinosaur in Zimbabwe
A newly discovered dinosaur from Zimbabwe is offering fresh clues to how the animals diversified, suggesting they spread across distinct ecosystems in southern Africa, scientists said Wednesday.
Tech Xplore / Hugging Face CEO calls for accountability after OpenAI hack
The chief executive of Hugging Face said Friday that developers should be held accountable if their AI models go rogue, after his startup faced a recent cyberattack by autonomous OpenAI software.
Phys.org / Quantum spin effects may enhance one-way electrical transport in chiral magnets
Quantum fluctuations influence direction-dependent electrical transport in chiral magnets, researchers from Science Tokyo report. In chiral magnetic systems, electric current flows differently depending on its direction, ...
Phys.org / Quantum neural networks get their first hardware test
Neural networks have transformed how machines find patterns in data, from recognizing faces in photos to predicting the shapes of proteins. So far, all of this progress has been made on ordinary classical computers, but with ...
Phys.org / Ancient stardust grains were seeds for the earliest solids in the solar system
How did the first solids that made up planets, moons and asteroids form from the "hot soup" that characterized our solar system's earliest years? New research from Caltech analyzing pieces of a meteorite has found that, just ...
Phys.org / AI finds tiny gene editor changes that reduce unintended DNA edits
Gene editing is a highly precise and powerful technology that allows scientists to insert, delete, modify or replace DNA bases in living organisms. It has a variety of uses, including correcting disease-causing mutations ...
Phys.org / The oceans near Australia may be the best places to fertilize for removing carbon dioxide
Deploying ocean iron fertilization—a strategy for carbon dioxide capture—in higher latitudes rather than near the equator could reduce environmental impacts while still achieving removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, ...
Phys.org / Ice Age artists carved thumbnail-size bird figurines from mammoth ivory 40,000 years ago
Excavations at Hohle Fels Cave in the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Swabian Jura in southwestern Germany have again yielded two spectacular 40,000-year-old depictions of birds carved from mammoth ivory. The two figurines ...
Phys.org / Black hole 'blast' reaches 300,000 light-years
A team of researchers has discovered that winds generated by supermassive black holes are 100 times more powerful than previously thought, carrying energy across distances of approximately 300,000 light-years. The discovery ...
Phys.org / An entire world of fungi nearly a third of a mile underground could affect carbon storage estimates
Hundreds of feet below Earth's surface, rocks and water teem with fungi and support complex ecosystems of tiny organisms, according to a University of Michigan study that finds fungi are far more abundant deep underground ...
