Phys.org / Low-loss spin waveguide network could pave way for energy-efficient AI hardware
The rapid rise in AI applications has placed increasingly heavy demands on our energy infrastructure. All the more reason to find energy-saving solutions for AI hardware. One promising idea is the use of so-called spin waves ...
Phys.org / Need a new 3D material? Build it with DNA
When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world's tallest building. Uptown at Columbia, Oleg ...
Medical Xpress / A 'Google Maps' for tau movement sheds light on why some brain regions resist Alzheimer's
It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to misbehave—plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps stabilize neurons, but ...
Medical Xpress / Camel milk intake suppresses allergic asthma in mice
Research led by the Joldasbekov Institute of Mechanics and Engineering in Kazakhstan, reports that camel milk intake significantly reduced airway hyperresponsiveness and lung inflammation in a laboratory model of allergic ...
Medical Xpress / Novel AI method sheds light on how enzyme linked to Alzheimer's selects its targets
Researchers from DZNE, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), and Technical University of Munich (TUM) have found that the enzyme "gamma-secretase"—implicated in Alzheimer's disease and cancer—selects its reaction ...
Phys.org / Stoichiometric crystal shows promise in quantum memory
For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in various matter systems. These techniques allow for the controlled and reversible mapping of ...
Phys.org / 'Space ice' is less like water than previously thought
"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, according to a new study by scientists at UCL (University College London) and the University of Cambridge.
Medical Xpress / Stepping up the potential of wearables: Predicting pediatric surgery complications
An estimated 4 million children undergo surgical procedures in hospitals across the United States each year. Although postoperative complications, such as infections, can pose significant health risks to kids, timely detection ...
Phys.org / Visualization of atomic-scale magnetism achieved with new imaging method
An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has succeeded in visualizing magnetism inside solids with unprecedented precision. Using a newly developed method, the scientists were able to image the finest ...
Phys.org / Ancient bone-eating worms ate mosasaur, ichthyosaur and plesiosaur skeletons
When large marine animals like whales die, they sink down to the seabed. Once their flesh has been stripped away by scavengers and microbes, their corpses are colonized by a variety of specialized invertebrates that feast ...
Phys.org / Studies offer new insights into production and structure of heavy hollow atoms
Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, internal structure, and ...
Phys.org / Scientists identify 4,200 plastic chemicals of concern and highlight safer approaches
Countries are currently negotiating a global treaty to end plastic pollution and make plastics safer and more sustainable. Plastic chemicals are a core issue because all plastics, from food packaging to car tires, contain ...
