Tech Xplore / AI-run lab discovers six 3D-printable alloys for extreme heat
Using AI-driven materials design, a team of researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering has discovered a new set of metal alloys that retain their strength under extreme conditions.
Phys.org / Unhoused people and wildlife are increasingly coming into contact. Here's what can be done to protect them
As homelessness increases around the world, more unhoused people are turning to parks and other urban green spaces to seek shelter. However, these places are also home to animals that live in and around urban areas.
Phys.org / The starry night redux: Dark energy camera captures stars, nebulae, clusters, and more in a rich, van Gogh-esque scene
The 570-megapixel Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam) captures a vibrant scene filled with swirls and stars reminiscent of Van Gogh's The Starry Night. This new cosmic masterpiece features the glowing ...
Medical Xpress / Skeletal muscle signals to brain, brown fat to control aging in mice
Open lines of communication between the body's organs are important to health and often falter with age. A new study in mice by researchers at WashU Medicine shows how signals that travel from skeletal muscle to the brain ...
Phys.org / Sensitive measurements uncover dual superconducting states in atom-thin NbSe₂ and TaS₂
A new study reveals that two widely studied ultrathin superconducting materials are more sophisticated than they appear. Although they seem to behave like simple superconductors with a single energy gap, they actually contain ...
Tech Xplore / Fed probe suggests Tesla's self-driving feature wasn't to blame in crash that killed a grandmother
Federal safety investigators looking into a runaway Tesla that killed a grandmother in her home say the driver had pressed the accelerator to full speed, suggesting the vehicle's self-driving software was not to blame.
Tech Xplore / Fertilizer from the neighborhood: Where local ammonia plants make economic sense
Small-scale plants could produce ammonia directly where it is needed. A global analysis involving the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) shows where and under what conditions such mini-plants could operate in a low-carbon and ...
Phys.org / Adolescent social media restrictions may reduce some harms while shifting others, warn experts
Amrit Kaur Purba and colleagues argue that social media restrictions operate within a wider system of adolescents, families, schools, governments and commercial actors—and therefore should be treated as complex systems interventions ...
Phys.org / Glyphosate ban could cost Illinois farmers millions annually
A new analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Illinois Soybean Association finds that Illinois corn and soybean farmers could lose up to $609 million per year—representing a 3.6% revenue loss—if ...
Phys.org / New species of monkey with unusual orange lips discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Scientists have described a new species of colobus monkey in the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), report John Hart at Lukuru Wildlife Research Foundation and colleagues in PLOS One. The first hint that a ...
Medical Xpress / Virtual tumor predicts response to liver cancer immunotherapy
Using computational tools, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a method to predict which patients with a primary liver cancer called hepatocellular ...
Tech Xplore / A method to create fault-tolerant analog in-memory computing systems
Conventional computers process and store information using separate components, known as a processor and memory unit. Because transferring data from one component to the other can be energy-consuming, many electronics engineers ...
