Phys.org / Miniature laser technology could bring lab testing into your home
A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed new laser technology that could lead to tiny, cost-effective biosensors. The sensors integrate lasers and optics together on a centimeter-sized chip, ...
Medical Xpress / Optical genome mapping detects additional genetic variants in nearly 20% of individuals with acute leukemia
New research assessing the efficacy of optical genome mapping (OGM) in a group of patients with acute leukemia has demonstrated that OGM provided reliable and robust analytical performance with high sensitivity and specificity ...
Phys.org / Quantum entanglement offers route to higher-resolution optical astronomy
Researchers in the US have demonstrated how quantum entanglement could be used to detect optical signals from astronomical sources at the single-photon level. Published in Nature, a team led by Pieter-Jan Stas at Harvard ...
Medical Xpress / Study uncovers a new mechanism explaining how chemicals affect sex hormones
Researchers at the University of Oulu have identified a previously unknown mechanism in humans that may explain why certain medicines and environmental chemicals disrupt the balance of sex hormones. The finding deepens scientific ...
Phys.org / How changes on the Y chromosome may make species reproductively incompatible
When closely related species mate, their offspring sometimes survive but cannot reproduce. This pattern often affects males first, with hybrid males frequently failing to produce functional sperm even when hybrid females ...
Phys.org / As wildfires intensify, researchers test if AI can improve fire spread prediction
With wildfires growing more destructive both in the United States and around the world, University at Buffalo researchers have conducted one of the most extensive evaluations to date of artificial intelligence-based deep ...
Phys.org / Superconductivity controlled by a built-in light-confining cavity
For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that a material's superconductivity can be altered by coupling it to an in-built, light-confining cavity. In experiments published in Nature, a team led by Itai Keren at Columbia ...
Phys.org / Chemical shifts help track molecules breaking apart in real time
When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small molecule fluoromethane ...
Phys.org / Goal-setting apps can backfire if goals are too easy—or too hard
It might date back to the ancient Greeks, but the concept of "everything in moderation" still holds true for today's users of goal-setting apps. In a paper in the Journal of Marketing Research, a team from the University ...
Tech Xplore / Can AI read papers like a scientist? A new benchmark shows where LLMs fail
To stay up to date and work forward in their fields, scientists must have at their fingertips and in their minds thousands of published studies. Large language models (LLMs) show promise as a tool for exploring the vast scientific ...
Medical Xpress / Inflammation-related protein changes could predict cognitive impairment after stroke
Researchers at The University of Manchester have found that tracking changes in a protein linked to inflammation (interleukin-6) after a stroke could help identify people at risk of later memory and thinking problems (also ...
Phys.org / Multi-wavelength observations track bright gamma-ray blazar's three-year cycle
By analyzing the data from various space observatories and ground-based telescopes, European astronomers have performed a multiwavelength study of a bright gamma-ray blazar known as S5 1044+71. The new study, published Feb. ...
