Science X / Even iconic fliers get it wrong: Most birds have not evolved optimal wing-shapes
Even the giant wings of the albatross are not "optimally" shaped for their extraordinary long-distance migrations, according to new University of Bristol research. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that ...
Tech Xplore / Beyond borders: Metaverse manufacturing envisions AI-linked local production built on digital twins
Over the past decades, technological advances have fueled great innovation in a wide range of fields. Emerging and rapidly developing technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) systems, three-dimensional (3D) and ...
Medical Xpress / How the senses intertwine to help store new speech patterns
We don't usually realize it, but every word we speak depends on a series of complex brain processes working behind the scenes. One important part of this is speech motor learning, the brain's ability to learn and remember ...
Phys.org / Elastic rules may explain why nematic crystals look ordered and disordered at once
Electronic nematicity is a phase of some crystalline solids in which electrons' collective properties, such as charge or spin densities, organize themselves into ordered patterns, lowering the crystal's rotational symmetry. ...
Phys.org / Decades of deep sea mining research show threat to seafloor creatures
There's increasing interest in deep-sea mining, but the impacts that this will have on the animals that live in the depths isn't fully understood. A new review led by our scientists is giving us our first insight into how ...
Phys.org / 5th-century Belgian burial with 'scrap metal' may reveal missing link between Roman and Merovingian monetary systems
A study published in the journal Britannia analyzed coins and metal items found in an early 5th-century AD burial in Oudenburg, Belgium. The burial occurred around the same time that base metal coins ceased arriving in northwestern ...
Medical Xpress / The slow burn behind type 2 diabetes revealed
More than half a billion people worldwide are living with diabetes, the vast majority with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a chronic condition that continues to rise alongside aging populations and changing lifestyles. Despite its ...
Phys.org / How a newly discovered organelle could help reduce cow methane emissions
When cows burp, they send a substantial amount of methane gas into the air, which makes them a leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to research published in the journal Science, a newly discovered hydrogen-producing ...
Medical Xpress / AI pathology framework can enable a deeper understanding of cancer
The digital transformation of pathology is opening up new possibilities for cancer diagnosis. Today's artificial intelligence (AI) techniques now go far beyond mere automation: they make it possible to extract previously ...
Phys.org / Packed together, they melt differently: What happens when one iceberg enters another's icy wake
Earth's ice is melting. As icebergs break away from glaciers and melt away, the fresh meltwater mixes into its saltwater surroundings. However, icebergs do not exist in isolation. In Greenland, for example, jammed collections ...
Medical Xpress / Global outbreaks may fuel violence against women—but most cases go unmeasured
Violence against women and girls may increase during infectious disease outbreaks—as economic strain, isolation and disrupted services reshape daily life—yet those impacts remain largely unmeasured, according to researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Unmasking autism spectrum disorder through its gene-based roots
Two studies led by the Chahrour Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center shed new light on genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the neurodevelopmental disease characterized by impaired communication, abnormal ...
