Phys.org / Brushstroke-mapping AI reopens a centuries-old mystery about one of El Greco's masterpieces
Spanish Renaissance master El Greco is often considered one of the greatest painters of all time, and many of his artworks are displayed in galleries around the world. His painting The Baptism of Christ is generally believed ...
Phys.org / Breathing new life into an ancient mystery: Unlocking the trilobite's respiratory secrets
For more than 270 million years, trilobites were among the most successful and diverse creatures on Earth, with over 22,000 known species spanning the Paleozoic Era. Yet, despite their abundance in the fossil record and their ...
Medical Xpress / A common weed killer left a hidden epigenetic footprint in early-onset colon cancer
A study led by José A. Seoane, Head of the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology's (VHIO) Computational Biology Group identifies for the first time the exposome footprint—the set of environmental and lifestyle exposures—in ...
Medical Xpress / Microfluidic chip reveals how living glioblastoma slices resist chemotherapy
Combining microchip engineering techniques with cutting-edge gene profiling, scientists at Columbia University have developed a new way to study drug responses in living slices of human brain tumor cells. The system, using ...
Phys.org / Water to surge into drought-depleted Lake Powell but at costs elsewhere
Canyons in eastern Utah will churn this spring with huge volumes of water—as much as 50,000 toilets flushing constantly at the same time—in a desperate attempt to maintain electricity generation for thousands of homes across ...
Phys.org / Photonic chip generates milliwatt-level UV light, 100 times brighter than before
Researchers from the University of Twente and Harvard University have developed a new way to generate ultraviolet (UV) light on a photonic chip at power levels high enough for real-world use. For the first time, the technique ...
Phys.org / Stellar flares may expand habitable zones around small stars
The search for life beyond Earth has traditionally focused on exoplanets orbiting sun-like stars, which is a G-type star. However, low-mass stars, which are designated as K-type and M-type stars, have rapidly become a target ...
Medical Xpress / A hidden DNA region helps drive frailty, exposing brain and immune links that reshape aging risk
Researchers at McMaster University have identified, for the first time, a novel region of DNA and two associated genes connected to frailty, offering neurological and immune-related insights that might help explain why some ...
Tech Xplore / The promise of self-driving cars hits a traffic snag
As autonomous vehicles (AVs) near widespread use, researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington say the technology could change not just how people travel but how much, reshaping traffic congestion, city planning and ...
Phys.org / Collagen analysis finds wider prey use by Neanderthals and modern humans
The Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) has taken part in a study published in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology that provides new insights into subsistence strategies during the ...
Phys.org / Your phone's next speed boost may come from a strange magnetic jump that rewrites how chips handle heat
A new technology has been proposed that could fundamentally solve the issue of smartphones overheating during high-spec gaming or extended video streaming. Researchers at KAIST have discovered the principle of processing ...
Tech Xplore / A truly invisible device that does not disturb its surroundings and its metamaterial shell
Metamaterials are carefully engineered materials that possess desirable properties and can be used to manipulate electromagnetic, acoustic, or other types of waves in interesting ways. Some materials scientists and engineers ...
