Phys.org / Spider monkeys pool their knowledge to find the best fruit
When spider monkeys want to tell others about the best fruit trees in the forest or ones they've missed, they do so by changing their social groups to share what they know, according to a new study published in the journal ...
Medical Xpress / Long COVID brain fog far more common in US than India and other nations, study finds
Patients with long COVID-19 in the U.S. report far higher rates of brain fog, depression and cognitive symptoms than patients in countries such as India and Nigeria, according to a large international study led by Northwestern ...
Phys.org / Brewing possibilities: Using caffeine to edit gene expression
What if a cup of coffee could help treat cancer? Researchers at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology believe it's possible. By combining caffeine with the use of CRISPR—a gene-editing tool known ...
Phys.org / Novel nanomaterial uses oxidative stress to kill cancer cells
Scientists at Oregon State University have developed a new nanomaterial that triggers a pair of chemical reactions inside cancer cells, killing the cells via oxidative stress while leaving healthy tissues alone. The study ...
Tech Xplore / Foundation AI models trained on physics, not words, are driving scientific discovery
While popular AI models such as ChatGPT are trained on language or photographs, new models created by researchers from the Polymathic AI collaboration are trained using real scientific datasets. The models are already using ...
Tech Xplore / Unsinkable metal tubes could lead to resilient ships, floating platforms and renewable energy innovations
More than a century after the Titanic sank, engineers still have hopes of someday creating "unsinkable" ships. In a step toward reaching that lofty goal, researchers at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics have ...
Phys.org / 'Goldilocks size' rhodium clusters advance reusable heterogeneous catalysts for hydroformylation
Recent research has demonstrated that a rhodium (Rh) cluster of an optimal, intermediate size—neither too small nor too large—exhibits the highest catalytic activity in hydroformylation reactions. Similar to the concept ...
Phys.org / Thinking on different wavelengths: New approach to circuit design introduces next-level quantum computing
Quantum computing represents a potential breakthrough technology that could far surpass the technical limitations of modern-day computing systems for some tasks. However, putting together practical, large-scale quantum computers ...
Phys.org / Ochre used in ancient graves in Finland reflects identity of deceased
Roughly 5,500–6,000 years ago, the area including present-day Finland was inhabited by hunter-fisher-gatherers living in small village-like clusters. Traveling via waterways, these people established permanent fishing systems, ...
Tech Xplore / Meet the soft humanoid robot that can grow, shrink, fly and walk on water
Humanoid robots look impressive and have enormous potential to change our daily lives, but they still have a reputation for being clunky. They're also heavy and stiff, and if they fall, they can easily break and injure people ...
Phys.org / Scientists develop technique to identify malfunctions in our genetic code
An international team of researchers including scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) have developed a way to reveal the smallest of malfunctions in the biochemical machinery that makes proteins in our bodies. ...
Phys.org / Ancient Martian beach discovered, providing new clues to red planet's habitability
New findings from NASA's Perseverance rover have revealed evidence of wave-formed beaches and rocks altered by subsurface water in a Martian crater that once held a vast lake—considerably expanding the timeline for potential ...
