Phys.org / Q&A: The dangers of not teaching students how to use AI responsibly
Generative artificial intelligence has disrupted the classroom, making educators feel as if the only immediate and well-intentioned choice they can make is to ban this technology from being used on assignments and in academic ...
Tech Xplore / Broadband ultrasonic imaging shows defects in all types of concrete
Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without destroying their structure. Most methods send sound waves into the material and capture the waves that ...
Phys.org / The shape of things to come: How spheroid geometry guides multicellular orbiting and invasion
As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues. There are no anatomical molds shaped like lungs, livers or other tissues for cells to grow into. Rather, ...
Phys.org / Watching atoms roam before they decay
Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons in a decay process initiated ...
Phys.org / Hibernating hamsters maintain muscle cells by suppressing muscle regeneration, study shows
Skeletal muscle stem cells in hibernating Syrian hamsters preserve their ability to function by suppressing their activation during the hibernation period, a research team led by Hiroshima University has shown. This insight ...
Medical Xpress / Racism packs a punch for those enduring it over a lifetime
Black Americans die younger than their White counterparts, with an estimated 1.63 million "excess" deaths having occurred between 1999 and 2020. These excess deaths are predominantly attributable to chronic conditions like ...
Phys.org / Arctic seas are getting louder as ice melts, posing risks: Study shows how to better measure noise
The Arctic is experiencing a steady rise in human-generated underwater noise as melting ice and increasing activity open the region to greater vessel traffic, with major implications for wildlife and local communities. New ...
Phys.org / Learning how to destroy PFAS—down to the tiniest airborne particles
Getting rid of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. This group of 15,000 human-made chemicals doesn't break down naturally, leaching into soils and waterways ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of CDC surveillance databases have halted updates, raising concerns about health data gaps
An audit of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) public databases found that nearly half of routinely updated federal health surveillance systems had stopped or delayed updates in 2025, raising concerns that ...
Phys.org / Pushback couldn't derail this researcher's work in criminology
There's been much published about the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study, which looked at the impact of intervention on delinquency in young Massachusetts boys. The groundbreaking research followed up with study participants ...
Phys.org / Epigenetic switch found to halt fat cell formation in adipose tissue
Metabolic diseases such as obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance are rapidly increasing worldwide, but fundamental methods to regulate the process of fat formation remain limited. In particular, once adipocytes (fat ...
Phys.org / Study finds no evidence that using gender-inclusive language alone helps women in the workplace
The use of gender-inclusive language may not in itself help women in the workplace, a new study shows. Researchers could not find that its use in English and German had an impact on the short-term display of crucial traits ...
