Phys.org / Quantum simulations that bypass resolution limits offer insights into high-temperature superconductivity
A new method developed at LMU overcomes fundamental resolution limits and may provide insights into high-temperature superconductivity. Physicist Dr. Sebastian Paeckel has developed a method that can be used to calculate ...
Medical Xpress / Mobile app-based coaching can support healthy weight gain in pregnancy, new study finds
Obesity during pregnancy has been steadily increasing worldwide. In the United States, over 60% of pregnant individuals enter pregnancy overweight or obese, and more than half go on to exceed recommended gestational weight ...
Tech Xplore / Teaching AI models to say 'I'm not sure' in cases of calibration errors
Confidence is persuasive. In artificial intelligence systems, it is often misleading. Today's most capable reasoning models share a trait with the loudest voice in the room: They deliver every answer with the same unshakable ...
Phys.org / Engineered soil bacterial protein kills colorectal cancer cells by targeting their mitochondria
Researchers at Umeå University have turned a protein from soil bacteria into a potential new weapon against colorectal cancer. Their study published in Cell Death Discovery shows how an engineered bacterial protein can trigger ...
Medical Xpress / How does imagination really work in the brain? New explanation upends what we knew
Your brain is currently expending about a fifth of your body's energy, and almost none of that is being used for what you're doing right now. Reading these words, feeling the weight of your body in a chair—all of this together ...
Phys.org / Chalk-stream salmon could become an official sub-species
Chalk-stream salmon should be officially classified as a sub-species, new research suggests. Scientists from the University of Exeter and INRAe (France) carried out detailed genetic testing of salmon from 42 rivers in England, ...
Phys.org / Light-powered propulsion expands space exploration possibilities
Reaching the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, would take hundreds of thousands of years using current rocket propulsion technology. Researchers in the J. Mike Walker '66 Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M ...
Phys.org / Cold fronts in nearby galaxy group may redistribute metals, Chandra and GMRT data reveal
Astronomers from South Africa and India have analyzed archival data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) regarding a nearby small galaxy group known as IC 1262. Results of the new ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Scientists decode the logic behind cells' mysterious protein stockpiles
As far as research subjects go, it's not always easy to find common ground with a single-celled bacterium. Yet the more Paul Wiggins studies his model bacteria, Acinetobacter baylyi, the more he sees surprising commonalities ...
Medical Xpress / Asphalt is everywhere, but is it bad for our health?
If you piled all of Phoenix's pavement into one spot, it would be enough to cover San Francisco four times over. Roads, parking lots, and other paved surfaces blanket a lot of land—an estimated 40% of Arizona's capital city.
Medical Xpress / This routine heart scan sees the danger coming long before symptoms strike
A routine heart scan might soon do more than just check for clogged arteries; it could act as a crystal ball for your cardiac health. Researchers at Kumamoto University have revealed that by combining two specific markers ...
Phys.org / Turning vibrations into value—a new catalyst converts CO₂ into useful CO
Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a catalyst that uses vibrational energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO), an important industrial feedstock. The work, published in the Journal ...
