Tech Xplore / Lowering barriers to explainable AI: Control technique for LLMs reduces resource demands by over 90%
Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT and Llama are driving exceptional innovations in AI, but research aimed at improving their explainability and reliability is constrained by massive resource requirements for examining ...
Phys.org / Rare Hall effect reveals design pathways for advanced spintronic materials
Scientists at Ames National Laboratory, in collaboration with Indranil Das's group at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (India), have found a surprising electronic feature in transitional metal-based compounds that could ...
Phys.org / Stripe patterns in blood cells offer new clues for diagnosing disorders and understanding natural designs
Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints form unique designs, and zebras can be identified by their distinctive stripes.
Phys.org / Journey to the center of a quantized vortex: How microscopic mutual friction governs superfluid dissipation
Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee swirls and slows under the ...
Phys.org / Robotic system synthesizes hundreds of metal complexes to find potential new antibiotic
Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate—offering fresh hope in the global fight against drug-resistant infections.
Phys.org / West Antarctica's history of rapid melting foretells sudden shifts in continent's 'catastrophic' geology
Due to its thick, vast ice sheet, Antarctica appears to be a single, continuous landmass centered over the South Pole and spanning both hemispheres of the globe. The Western Hemisphere sector of the ice sheet is shaped like ...
Medical Xpress / Indoor tanning makes youthful skin much older on a genetic level
Tanning bed users are known to have a higher risk of skin cancer, but for the first time researchers have found that young indoor tanners undergo genetic changes that can lead to more mutations in their skin cells than people ...
Phys.org / Ancient pottery workshop reveals Iron Age production chain
Ceramics are one of the most important sources of information for archaeologists. Yet how these objects are produced, especially in the firing stage, has received little attention to date. The excavation of a well-preserved ...
Phys.org / Scalable method enables ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot displays without damaging performance
Over the past decade, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as promising materials for next-generation displays due to their tunable emission, high brightness, and compatibility with low-cost solution processing. However, ...
Phys.org / Why a chiral magnet is a direction-dependent street for electrons
RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy devices.
Tech Xplore / Harnessing long-wavelength light for sustainable hydrogen production
A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.
Phys.org / How chirality goes from the molecular level to the cellular one
RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical about their central axes. This discovery is a key step toward determining why most of our organs lack ...
