Phys.org / Using generative AI to help scientists synthesize complex materials
Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many cases, materials synthesis ...
Medical Xpress / New genetic tools offer more accurate breast cancer prediction for women of African ancestry
Despite major advances in genetic testing for breast cancer risk prediction, death rates remain disproportionately high among women of African ancestry. This is often due to a combination of factors, including failure of ...
Medical Xpress / Inside the newborn mind: Babies categorize objects in the brain at just two months old, neuroscientists discover
Babies as young as two months old are able to categorize distinct objects in their brains—much earlier than previously thought—according to new research from neuroscientists at Trinity College Dublin. The research, which ...
Phys.org / New formula unravels vines' parasitic nature
Twisting upwardly on trees and other plants—along with houses and even lampposts—vines are a wonder of nature. However, their marvels mask their parasitic behavior: in attaching to other life forms, vines block sunlight ...
Phys.org / New study identifies warning signs for extreme flash flooding
Climate experts have identified an atmospheric configuration that can release huge volumes of water in a matter of minutes. Led by Newcastle University and the UK Met Office, the research helps explain some of the world's ...
Phys.org / North Sea sandstone could be used to store carbon dioxide, report suggests
Sandstone beneath the North Sea could be used to store carbon dioxide, a study has claimed. The British Geological Survey (BGS) report shows how sandstone beneath the North Sea could assist with the U.K.'s plans for carbon ...
Medical Xpress / Exposing a 'mental trap': The hidden bias behind chronic indecision
Humans are required to make several decisions daily, from choosing what to eat at a restaurant to more crucial choices, such as the studies they wish to complete.
Medical Xpress / Immunotherapy could prevent the loss of neurons in Parkinson's disease
By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team from the Institut de Neurociències of the UAB has shown that the main immune cells of the brain become ...
Phys.org / Biologists discover alternative systems that help cells control genes
Researchers at the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have uncovered how eukaryotic cells can control gene activity even after losing one of their major gene-regulatory systems during evolution. ...
Medical Xpress / A 'window to the brain': Chip tracks glioblastoma treatment response using tumor vesicles in blood
Technology created at the University of Queensland could improve the odds of surviving brain cancer and change how we treat a range of neurological conditions. Dr. Richard Lobb and Dr. Zhen Zhang from UQ's Australian Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Liver metabolism of an essential amino acid may play a key role in gut health
Many biological processes exhibit daytime differences governed by rhythmic exposure to sunlight, termed circadian rhythms. Researchers at Penn State recently found, in mice, that a protein critical to intestinal barrier function—helping ...
Phys.org / Plastic pollution promotes hazardous water conditions, new study finds
Dangerous concentrations of algae such as "red tides" have been consistently emerging in locations around the world. A region in Southern Australia is experiencing a nine-month toxic algae bloom that spans thousands of miles ...
