Phys.org / Plasma design rules show how to preserve attosecond flashes for observing electrons
Researchers at Skoltech, together with a colleague from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working within the joint SIOM–Skoltech laboratory, have determined how to select ...
Tech Xplore / Thwarting the hidden resume hacks that target AI hiring tools
In an increasingly competitive job market, some applicants are quietly trying to outsmart AI hiring tools. Now, new research focused on rooting out the practice of "prompt injection" shows how widespread this tactic is.
Tech Xplore / Programmable metasurface turns keyboard commands into dynamic holograms in milliseconds
Metasurfaces are ultrathin optical components engineered with arrays of nanoscale structures that can control light in ways that are difficult for conventional optics. Unlike traditional optical components, which typically ...
Phys.org / How the most widespread parasite on Earth reads its genome
A parasite carried by billions of people worldwide often causes harmful infections during pregnancy and in immunocompromised individuals and is a leading infectious cause of blindness in South America. Once it enters the ...
Phys.org / One idea, two cosmic mysteries—linking Little Red Dots and globular clusters
A new study led by astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin proposes a theory that could solve two astronomical riddles at once: the nature of Little Red Dots and the origin of globular clusters. Rather than representing ...
Medical Xpress / New strategy could prevent T cell exhaustion and boost immunotherapy
A major pillar of cancer immunotherapy involves stimulating T cells, the specialized killers of the immune system, to attack tumors. But this strategy has been undermined by the tendency of T cells to tire out before finishing ...
Medical Xpress / Druggable target that makes metastatic cancer cells easier to kill identified
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch that helps determine whether cancer cells remain soft and difficult to destroy or become stiff enough for the immune system to attack.
Medical Xpress / Smarter sonograms: Researcher uses generative AI to advance medical imaging
The first photographs many parents have of their children are sonograms, used to check on the health of developing fetuses. These sonograms use noninvasive ultrasound technology, but the grainy, gray images they produce can ...
Phys.org / A longer, hotter reality surrounds marine heat waves, research reveals
Anyone who has boiled a pot of water understands that it takes both time and energy to raise the temperature, so it may come as a surprise to learn that scientists have long treated marine heat waves (MHWs) as isolated events. ...
Tech Xplore / Has AI become too powerful to control?
One of OpenAI's most advanced models broke out of a locked-down test and attacked another company's website—reviving fears that AI systems are slipping beyond their creators' control.
Phys.org / Students unearth rare, centuries-old pot at Florida Spanish mission site
Some 400 years ago, a member of the Indigenous Potano-Timucua tribe scooped up some clay and carefully molded it into a modest vessel, small enough to rest in the palm of their hand. You can imagine their fingers pressing ...
Phys.org / Fruit flies turn fleeting scent puffs into directional memories, study finds
When a fruit fly catches a whiff of a ripe peach, it quickly heads toward it. Time after time, it finds the fruit—even from many feet away and even if the scent arrives only as a few drifting, disconnected puffs. How do they ...
