Phys.org / Final experimental result for the muon still challenges theorists
For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do.
Tech Xplore / Why the long interface? AI systems don't 'get' the joke, research reveals
Powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems, like ChatGPT and Gemini, simulate understanding of comedy wordplay, but never really "get the joke," a new study suggests.
Phys.org / New CO₂ conversion system slashes energy use and triples formic acid production
A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel electrochemical system that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major contributor to climate change, into high-value chemical products, like formic acid. This new ...
Phys.org / Oceanographers present conceptual framework to determine what happens to carbon as it sinks through the ocean
Florida State University oceanographers have discovered a significant connection between small-scale microbial processes and ecosystem-wide dynamics, offering new insights into the mechanisms driving marine carbon storage.
Medical Xpress / Virtual clinical trial suggests psychedelics may boost brain activity in coma patients
Researchers from the University of Liège and international collaborators developed a "virtual clinical trial" exploring a unique pharmacological treatment in patients who do not fully regain consciousness after a coma. The ...
Medical Xpress / Advancing patient-reported outcomes in cancer clinical trials
The SISAQOL-IMI consortium, co-led by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), has published a paper in The Lancet Oncology outlining how its recommendations for ...
Medical Xpress / Rare mutation protects brain's immune cells from Alzheimer's disease
Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape how scientists think about Alzheimer's treatment.
Phys.org / DNA shape and rigidity regulate key players of gene expression
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the physical structure and shape ...
Medical Xpress / Cerebrospinal fluid motion in the brain captured in remarkable detail
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions include protecting parts of the nervous system, delivering nutrients and removing metabolic waste.
Phys.org / RNA 'editing' process offers new clues to why some animals live longer
A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports on how a process known as alternative splicing, often described as "editing" the genetic recipe, ...
Phys.org / Fossil fuel emissions accelerate winter rainfall changes across Europe by 23 years
New study reveals burning of fossil fuels is accelerating winter rainfall changes in the UK and Europe, almost 25 years sooner than expected.
Phys.org / Orangutans can't master their complex diets without cultural knowledge, research reveals
When a wild orangutan leaves its mother after spending many years by her side, it has a mental catalog of almost 250 edible plants and animals, and the knowledge of how to acquire and process them.
