Tech Xplore / AI agents debate their way to improved mathematical reasoning
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used worldwide to create written content, source information and even to code websites ...
Phys.org / Used cooking oil yields super strong glue and recyclable plastics
Plastics are made from crude oil and petroleum by-products, so a team of scientists decided to explore if they could turn waste cooking oil into a useful plastic material, and they succeeded.
Phys.org / Long-hypothesized dynamic transition seen in deeply supercooled water for the first time
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have achieved the first experimental observation of a fragile-to-strong transition in deeply supercooled water, resolving a scientific puzzle that has persisted for ...
Phys.org / Deep-learning model predicts how fruit flies form, cell by cell
During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells.
Phys.org / Droughts are lasting longer across Australia, study shows
Droughts are lasting longer in Australia, particularly in some of our most populated regions, UNSW scientists have shown.
Phys.org / The race to mine the Moon is on, and it urgently needs some clear international rules
The vision of mining space for resources is no longer science fiction. The moon's proximity to Earth and the presence of precious resources make it an increasingly attractive prospect for exploitation.
Medical Xpress / A fatal mix-up: How certain gut bacteria drive multiple sclerosis
If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of multiple sclerosis, as ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tool identifies not just genetic mutations, but the diseases they may cause
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of disease those mutations ...
Medical Xpress / Fertility gene helps glioblastoma tumors survive chemotherapy and return after treatment, researchers discover
Research by University of Sydney scientists has uncovered a mechanism that may explain why glioblastoma returns after treatment, offering new clues for future therapies which they will now investigate as part of an Australian ...
Dialog / Typhoons vacuum microplastics from ocean and deposit them on land, study finds
Tropical storms such as typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones are Earth's most powerful weather systems. Born over warm oceans, they travel thousands of kilometers to land, traversing waters now polluted with plastics, from ...
Phys.org / Hundreds of iceberg earthquakes detected at the crumbling end of Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier'
Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the Northern Hemisphere more than 20 years ago, these quakes occur when huge chunks of ice fall from glaciers into the ...
Phys.org / Zero lasing modes are not always topological
The convergence of non-Hermitian physics and topological photonics has opened exciting research directions in recent years, particularly in the development of robust laser systems.
