Tech Xplore / When AI agents cheat on math problems, others blow the whistle
AI is advancing rapidly. One of the major shifts in the field is that, instead of single chatbots performing individual tasks, teams of autonomous agents work together by communicating with each other, sharing tools and accessing ...
Phys.org / Magma influx explains short-lived bulge at Tanzania's Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano
In 2024, D. Sarah Stamps' team detected and tracked a short-lived bulge in the land around a volcano in Tanzania. In a paper published Sep. 18, Stamps identified the cause of the uplift: 1 million cubic meters of magma pouring ...
Phys.org / 'Plasticorals,' coral rubble fused with plastic, represent a new form of plastic pollution
During routine beach litter surveys on the subtropical island of Okinawa, Japan, researchers came across small, brightly colored specks in the pale coral rubble. Back at the lab, spectroscopic and microscopic analyses revealed ...
Phys.org / To read 2,000-year-old burned scrolls, scientists burn their own
Douglas Seiler painstakingly sourced papyrus and reed pens from Egypt and traditional lampblack ink from Japan, then paid some high school students to inscribe the papyrus with lines from Star Wars and the Bible and a quote ...
Phys.org / Coffee on the nanoscale: Graphene oxide membrane removes half the caffeine while retaining key compounds
The humble coffee filter has the relatively simple job of letting the coffee through and leaving the grounds behind. But researchers from the ARC Center of Excellence for Carbon Science and Innovation (COE-CSI) are exploring ...
Medical Xpress / Common antibiotic linked to possible higher death risk
Cefepime is a fourth-generation antibiotic widely used to treat serious bacterial infections and febrile neutropenia—a fever in patients with abnormally low white blood cell counts. Unlike many antibiotics that are falling ...
Phys.org / In 2025, the ozone hole shrank to one of its smallest sizes in decades
The Antarctic ozone hole in 2025 was one of the smallest in decades—a testament to the continuing success of international action to protect Earth's ozone layer, which shields us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, according ...
Phys.org / Bolivia's tilcayo tiger cat becomes first new wildcat species in 100 years
Scientists have discovered a new species of wild cat for the first time in more than a century, a Bolivian researcher told AFP on Thursday.
Medical Xpress / Smooth-gradient fMRI technique could improve brain mapping during behavior
Neuroscientists and medical researchers now have a wide range of imaging techniques to study the brain and its activity. One of the most widely used is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a noninvasive technique ...
Medical Xpress / Creatine may preserve muscle during weight loss while boosting strength
Creatine has become one of the most talked-about supplements for building muscle, boosting performance and supporting healthy aging. New research from Texas A&M University suggests its potential benefits may be especially ...
Phys.org / Amino acids and a bone mineral may help control magnesium implant breakdown, three student papers suggest
Seeing a bachelor's thesis published in a scientific journal is relatively uncommon. For three theses linked to the same research group to result in scientific publications within just three months is downright rare. Yet ...
Medical Xpress / Activated donor immune cells may prevent severe complication after allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Researchers have successfully conducted the first clinical trial using activated regulatory T cells (ATregs, Actileucel)—derived from white blood cells of healthy blood donors. This novel cell therapy aims to prevent graft-versus-host ...
