Tech Xplore / New AI add-on helps developers automate everyday programming tasks
Developers are increasingly relying on large language models (LLMs) for everyday computing tasks such as fixing bugs, explaining code and automating text-processing tasks like filtering logs.
Science X / Cannibalism could keep people alive—so why did humans reject it almost everywhere?
From ancient graves to stories of survival on the frontier, signs of human flesh-eating turn stomachs, even as they raise questions. Anthropologists have uncovered bones cut up with axes and chops—like a skull from England ...
Tech Xplore / Small transistor sharpens low-cost thermal cameras without extreme cooling
With help from a small transistor, a team of researchers led by Professor Fengnian Xia figured out a way to make a type of thermal imaging technology dramatically more accurate. The results are published in Nature Sensors.
Phys.org / Varroa risk to Tasmanian crop pollination
A study by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) has highlighted the impact Varroa mites will have on crop pollination in Tasmania if the parasitic mites become established in the state. The study was prompted by the ...
Phys.org / Simple treatment strengthens pineapple leaf fibers for sustainable composites
Pineapple leaf fiber has long been valued in parts of Southeast Asia for traditional uses, including basketry in Malaysia and Thailand and textile applications in the Philippines. Its high cellulose content and ready availability ...
Medical Xpress / Single-night sleep apnea tests may misclassify patients, repeated monitoring suggests
A single night of sleep testing may not be enough to diagnose sleep apnea, with new Flinders University research revealing that night-to-night variation can lead to missed or incorrect diagnoses. The study, published in npj ...
Phys.org / Making the 'invisible' visible: How high-speed movies could change the way scientists study disease
High-speed movies of microscopic worms may sound like a dull night at the cinema, but this advanced imaging capability could help scientists better understand how diseases begin and progress, track subtle changes in cells ...
Medical Xpress / HIV vaccine triggers broadly neutralizing antibodies in 44% of primates
A new HIV vaccine developed by La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), Scripps Research scientists and IAVI has the potential to protect humans from developing HIV infection and AIDS. This HIV vaccine is the first to generate ...
Phys.org / Western Europe records its hottest June as heat waves surge: EU monitor
Western Europe this year experienced its hottest June on record as a searing heat wave swept across a continent facing increasingly frequent and intense heat extremes, the European Union's climate monitor said Thursday.
Medical Xpress / Higher blood glucose levels linked to faster brain aging
The human brain is known to naturally change with age, shrinking in size and volume after people reach their 30s or 40s. In some cases, however, it can age faster than expected, which can increase the risk of early memory ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists uncover how fungi 'blind' the immune system—offering new hope against superbugs
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have discovered that a fungus deadly to people with weakened immune systems can disable a critical defense used by neutrophils, the body's front-line, infection-fighting white blood ...
Medical Xpress / Genome-edited stem cells dodge antibodies, raising hope for chemo-free transplants
Stem cell transplantation (also called bone marrow transplantation) and gene therapy are among the most powerful curative approaches for blood diseases such as sickle cell disease, b-thalassemia, immune deficiencies and some ...
