Tech Xplore / A roadmap for agentic 7G AI-powered wireless networks
A research team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) proposed a new Reasoning-Empowered Task-Oriented Communication (TOC) framework that enables AI agents to determine what information to share, ...
Phys.org / Ecological collapse in the world's largest mangrove forest is a preview of what's to come
The first thing that struck us wasn't the missing trees, but the missing water. In May 2026, we visited the Sundarbans, a mangrove forest in the delta where the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers meet in the Bay of Bengal.
Phys.org / AI tool detects unusual satellite behavior to improve space safety
A new AI model can monitor satellites and spot anomalies in their behavior, reducing the risk of in-orbit collisions, according to new research published in the journal Expert Systems.
Tech Xplore / Cooling overheated summer railways with 'thermal-blocking textile' technology
As extreme heat waves intensify due to climate change, rail temperatures now exceed 60°C (140°F) during summer, increasing track-deformation risks. This has necessitated speed restrictions, causing delays and raising safety ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists investigate a feared young woman's 17th century vampiric grave in Poland
In 2022, excavations at a cemetery in Pień, Poland, led by researchers from the Institute of Archaeology at Nicolaus Copernicus University, led to a mysterious discovery. In what they call Grave 75, they uncovered the 400-year-old ...
Medical Xpress / Computer vision 'sees' our organs age at different rates
We tend to think of age as a linear progression marked by birthdays and milestones dictating when we can vote, drink, rent a car or pass beyond the crest of an arbitrary metaphorical hill. When scientists look at how organs ...
Tech Xplore / Musk defends AI data centers, slams EU rules at G20
Elon Musk on Tuesday urged the G20 to tread softly on regulating tech and AI, saying European-style rules inhibit innovation.
Phys.org / New AI approaches to help understand complex biological data
Researchers at Cardiff University have presented two studies at the 2026 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026) that address fundamental challenges in modern AI: understanding the complex geometry and relationships ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum-tunneling field-effect transistor overcomes barriers to integrated-circuit chip development
The next generation of microelectronics relies on radical improvements in transistor switching performance to advance computing power. However, conventional semiconductor technology has hit a physical limit known as the "Boltzmann ...
Phys.org / Manganese's emission lines shine a light on galactic evolution
In a new study, a team of astronomers has identified wavelengths of light that could be useful for tracing the chemical evolution of the universe. Using computational modeling to simulate how electrons interact with manganese ...
Phys.org / Next-gen sensors: Catching water pollution in real time
Extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts and torrential rains, affect water quality in lakes, rivers and coastal areas. This creates significant challenges for ecosystems and water supplies because pesticides bound ...
Phys.org / Cannabis ads may shape viewers' expectations about cannabis and sex
Alcohol advertisers have long faced industrywide guidelines discouraging them from linking drinking with sexual success. Cannabis marketers have no comparable industrywide guidelines and may promote cannabis in connection ...
