Phys.org / Listen to grandma—life's not a zero-sum game
Some situations in life are zero-sum. On Super Bowl Sunday, two teams take the field but only one will emerge victorious, Vince Lombardi Trophy in hand. In a presidential election, only one candidate can win enough votes ...
Phys.org / LLMs unleash AI's potential for autonomous and explainable materials discovery
Discovering new inorganic materials is central to advancing technologies in catalysis, energy storage, semiconductors, and more. But finding a material with just the right properties is extremely difficult. What if an AI ...
Phys.org / Here's what determines whether your income level rises or falls
Your work usually determines whether you manage to earn a better income compared to people around you. But your work earnings rarely determine when your income falls. Economists call it income mobility. This means how easy ...
Phys.org / Webb observes pulsar-orbiting planet whose composition defies explanation
Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system, whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how it formed.
Tech Xplore / Sodium-ion batteries can charge faster than lithium counterparts with hard carbon electrodes
The worldwide push for sustainability requires better, more durable batteries to support renewable energy systems and ubiquitous electronic devices.
Phys.org / 'Ouzo effect' reveals how oil droplets can resist flow and form stable patterns in liquids
Whether it's Greek ouzo, French pastis or Turkish raki, when these spirits are diluted with water, the mixture becomes cloudy. The reason for this is that the aniseed oils contained in the spirit dissolve well in alcohol ...
Phys.org / Thank the JWST for confirming the first runaway supermassive black hole
What could force a supermassive black hole (SMBH) out of its host galaxy? They can have hundreds of millions, even billions of solar masses. What's powerful enough to dislodge one of these behemoths?
Phys.org / How owl leftovers became the perfect home for ancient baby bees
About 20,000 years ago, a family of owls lived in a cave. Sometimes, they would cough up owl pellets containing the bones of their prey, which landed on the cave floor. And, researchers have just discovered, ancient bees ...
Medical Xpress / You have your mother's eyes and your father's heart disease—now what?
The American Heart Association says upcoming family holiday gatherings are a good time to talk about your family health history and how it can play an important role in heart disease.
Medical Xpress / Alcohol-linked DNA damage tied to cancer risk: Study reveals repair enzyme's role
Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged genetic information.
Tech Xplore / AI system protects wireless networks from jamming attacks in real time
A research team at the University of Ottawa has developed an advanced artificial intelligence system designed to autonomously defend wireless networks from jamming attacks, operating much like a digital immune system. This ...
Medical Xpress / Comprehensive study settles debate over diet safety for patients with cancer
For decades, patients undergoing blood cancer treatment have been told to avoid certain foods to reduce infection risk, guidance that some physicians hoped could safely be relaxed. Now, a University of Florida study offers ...
