Tech Xplore / AI agents have their own social network: Moltbook study tracks topics and toxicity
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents, systems that learn to make predictions, generate content or tackle other tasks by analyzing large amounts of data, is becoming increasingly widespread. Some of these systems ...
Phys.org / Tropical flowers are blooming weeks later than they used to through climate change
Climate change has caused some tropical plants to flower earlier or later than they used to; in some cases by a matter of weeks or even months, according to a study of 8,000 flowers across more than two centuries, published ...
Medical Xpress / Trust your gut to heal your brain: Antibiotics may aid recovery from traumatic brain injury
In a new study published in Communications Biology, Houston Methodist researchers led by Sonia Villapol, Ph.D., found that short-term antibiotic treatment significantly reduced neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration following ...
Phys.org / Bacterial pathogens build antibiotic-resistant 'bunkers' using filament scaffolds
Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including hospital bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa—to assemble antibiotic-resistant ...
Tech Xplore / Snake-like robot unveiled for Fukushima debris removal
A 22-meter robot arm will help remove a third sample of radioactive debris from inside Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator said Thursday, as it unveiled the snake-like device.
Tech Xplore / Industrial TOPCon solar cells hit 26.66% efficiency record
Crystalline silicon solar cells currently dominate the global photovoltaic industry, with tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) technology—a type of architecture within this product segment—rapidly gaining market ...
Medical Xpress / Nutrient timing found to influence gene activity in adipose tissue
Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat burning, or hormone release, oscillate during the day, i.e., they fluctuate and exhibit characteristic ...
