Phys.org / 100% organic free-range egg production could have negative consequences for climate and nature
A study published in Royal Society Open Science reveals striking trade-offs when it comes to different methods of egg production. Using UK data, the study compared several possible scenarios for the egg industry, including ...
Phys.org / New study explains when some conspiracy beliefs can lead to action
Why do some people who embrace conspiracy theories simply hold those beliefs, while others act on them? A new study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology identifies three characteristics that help determine ...
Phys.org / Cool it: AI-driven solutions to lower urban heat need community buy-in to work
A new framework to cool urban areas which integrates AI-driven technical solutions with cooling schemes that are acceptable and doable for the host community, has been proposed by QUT Urban AI Hub researchers.
Phys.org / Quantum neural networks get their first hardware test
Neural networks have transformed how machines find patterns in data, from recognizing faces in photos to predicting the shapes of proteins. So far, all of this progress has been made on ordinary classical computers, but with ...
Medical Xpress / AI system could make autism screening more accessible
Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Penn Engineering have developed an advanced artificial intelligence system that measures a child's ability to imitate simple body movements using ordinary video recordings. The ...
Phys.org / Why the hepatitis E virus cannot infect mice
Many viruses can infect both humans and animals, including hepatitis E virus. This virus is often transmitted to humans via contaminated meat products, such as by ingesting raw or undercooked pork or wild game. However, mouse ...
Tech Xplore / Strike a pose: Creating more realistic multi-person images
Generating an image of a person on a computer using text prompts is easy. Generating one with two people is similarly simple. But creating an image of multiple people actually doing something, and faithfully reproducing not ...
Phys.org / Captured carbon dioxide could yield strong, flexible plastics designed for recycling
Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a process to transform naturally occurring, highly stable carbon dioxide into recyclable, high-performance materials that could replace today's plastics in many situations. ...
Tech Xplore / New research proposes safer offshore wind turbines for earthquake-prone regions
Researchers at UTS have proposed a novel cable-stay reinforcement system that could significantly improve the resilience of large offshore wind turbines exposed to the combined effects of earthquakes, wind and waves.
Medical Xpress / Targeting tumor acidity pathway may overcome PARP inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a strategy to overcome PARP inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer, one of the most common barriers to the long-term effectiveness of this widely ...
Phys.org / Mosquitoes are rapidly activating enzymes against common insecticide, researchers warn
Traditionally, public health programs have relied on chemicals for mosquito management, which may be why combating mosquitoes is becoming more difficult. Over time, insecticides trigger biochemical and genetic variations ...
Medical Xpress / Bloodstream-delivered cell therapy slows muscle decline in young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, trial finds
A cell therapy called deramiocel could slow muscle weakening in boys and young men with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and may also slow heart damage in those who already have heart muscle disease, a Phase III ...
