Tech Xplore / AI scaling laws: Universal guide estimates how LLMs will perform based on smaller models in same family
When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need ...
Phys.org / Biologists identify plant-specific protein essential for survival
Despite their fundamental differences, plants, animals, and fungi share certain metabolic processes. Biologists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that a unique protein ...
Medical Xpress / Uncovering drivers of—and possible treatment for—Noonan syndrome heart defects
Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML) is a rare genetic disorder that causes short stature, distinctive facial features, and clusters of dark skin spots called lentigines. But its most serious impact is a dangerous ...
Medical Xpress / Pain-detecting nerve cells could yield new way to manage lung scarring
Researchers at the University of Calgary studying a lethal lung disease called pulmonary fibrosis have found that neurons known to help detect pain are also critical for reducing harmful lung inflammation that leads to the ...
Medical Xpress / GD2 CAR T treatment induces durable remissions in high-risk neuroblastoma
From Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital in Rome comes a report that a third-generation CAR T cell therapy targeting GD2, designated GD2–CART01, induced durable remissions and long-term survival in children with high-risk ...
Phys.org / The sound of crying babies makes our faces hotter, according to new research
Hearing a baby cry can trigger a range of responses in adults, such as sympathy, anxiety and a strong urge to help. However, new research suggests that a deeper physical reaction is also occurring. A baby's cry, particularly ...
Phys.org / New study reveals where conservation can deliver for birds, communities and climate
Today, the National Audubon Society announced the publication of a new study in Scientific Reports that identifies places in the continental United States where conservation efforts would provide a triple benefit to protect ...
Tech Xplore / Decoding the sounds of battery formation and degradation
Before batteries lose power, fail suddenly, or burst into flames, they tend to produce faint sounds over time that provide a signature of the degradation processes going on within their structure. But until now, nobody had ...
Medical Xpress / Prescribed opioid pain medications during pregnancy likely aren't associated with increased risk of autism, ADHD
Previous studies have suggested that children exposed to opioid pain medications while in the womb have higher rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but a new study ...
Phys.org / DNA's double act: How genetic copies stick together during replication
Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein complex called cohesin ...
Phys.org / Spinning bioreactors increase yield of extracellular vesicles for more affordable targeted medicine
Inside cells there are tiny particles, known as extracellular vesicles, that store and move molecules. Our cells naturally package beneficial proteins and healing compounds into these tiny bubbles, dispatching them to where ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds no rise in heart attacks around daylight savings time
Duke Clinical Research Institute-led research finds that changing clocks and adjusting to daylight savings time showed no significant association with acute myocardial infarction (AMI, or heart attack) incidence or in-hospital ...
