Phys.org / Ultra‑robust machine‑learning models run stable molecular simulations at extreme temperatures
Researchers at The University of Manchester have created a physics‑informed machine‑learning model that can run molecular simulations for unprecedented lengths of time, even at temperatures as high as 1,000 Kelvin. The study, ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected findings on lung cancer CT scans may point to other non-lung cancers
When doctors review diagnostic medical scans for lung cancer, they sometimes spot abnormalities unrelated to the lungs. New research shows that some of those abnormalities could be signs of other undiagnosed cancers. The ...
Phys.org / Why has it taken so long to return to the moon?
At 13:24:59 Central Standard Time on December 19, 1972, the Apollo 17 command module splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, about 350 nautical miles southeast of Samoa, concluding the last mission to the moon.
Phys.org / Parasites defy biodiversity rules, thriving far from the equator
For decades, scientists have observed a clear pattern across the natural world: biodiversity tends to be higher near the equator and lower toward the poles. Known as the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), this trend holds ...
Phys.org / Legged robot could accelerate resource prospecting on the moon and the search for life on Mars
Planetary surface missions currently operate cautiously. On Mars, communication delays between Earth and rovers (typically between four and 22 minutes), as well as data transfer constraints due to uplink and downlink limitations, ...
Tech Xplore / Vibrations in your skull may be your next password
A team led by Rutgers University researchers has developed a security system that could change how people log in to virtual and augmented reality platforms by eliminating passwords, personal identification numbers and eye ...
Medical Xpress / Celiac disease may blunt high-fiber benefits when key gut microbes are missing
Many people with celiac disease are advised to eat more fiber to support digestion and manage symptoms, either through diet or prescribed fiber supplements. New research from McMaster University shows that the benefits of ...
Phys.org / Viruses 'eavesdrop' on each other—but it can backfire
University of Exeter scientists studied chemical communication by phages (viruses that infect bacteria). The phages assessed in the study have two choices when they enter a cell: lie dormant or kill the cell and release new ...
Medical Xpress / Higher‑level brain systems that interpret perception may play a central role in imagination
Imagination is one of the most powerful things our brains can do. We can relive past events while taking a walk, rehearse future conversations through inner speech or sense the heat of a fire without touching it—allowing ...
Phys.org / Antibacterial soaps and wipes can fuel antimicrobial resistance, scientists warn
An international team of scientists is warning that everyday antibacterial soaps, wipes, sprays, and other "germ-killing" products are quietly contributing to the global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) while providing ...
Phys.org / TESS discovers an Earth-sized planet orbiting nearby M-dwarf star
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered an extrasolar planet orbiting TOI-4616—a nearby M-dwarf star. The newfound alien world, which received designation ...
Phys.org / Novel protocol reconstructs quantum states in large-scale experiments up to 96 qubits
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some computationally demanding tasks. Despite their potential, as the size of quantum computers ...
