Medical Xpress / Hidden in hair follicles, immune 'sentinel' cells may help skin detect microbes
Researchers at the School of Medicine at the University of California, Riverside have discovered previously unrecognized immune surveillance structures in the skin. Found within hair follicles, the cells resemble M (microfold) ...
Medical Xpress / Half of AI health answers are wrong even though they sound convincing—new study
Imagine you have just been diagnosed with early-stage cancer and, before your next appointment, you type a question into an AI chatbot: "Which alternative clinics can successfully treat cancer?" Within seconds, you get a ...
Phys.org / Carbon nanotubes are closing the gap on copper conductivity
Carbon nanotubes are one technology that many observers believe hasn't quite lived up to the extreme hype that surrounded them when they first appeared on the scene in the late 1990s. At that time, much was made of their ...
Phys.org / Neutrinos caught on camera: Testing the first prototype of a new elementary particle detector
Some innovations in physics come from entirely new technologies, others from fresh theoretical insights. Others still take shape by bringing together existing tools in new ways, working out how to combine them to outperform ...
Phys.org / How accelerating evolution could help corals survive future heat waves—new study
As global warming accelerates, extreme heat waves are causing widespread death of tropical reef corals. Most corals rely on tiny algae cells living within their tissues that photosynthesize and produce energy. Corals use ...
Phys.org / High-resolution imaging shines light on nanoscale nuclear organization
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have implemented an advanced microscopy technique to visualize multiple biomolecules inside the nucleus of a cancer cell simultaneously at incredibly high resolution. ...
Tech Xplore / Google commits $10 billion, could add $30 billion more to Anthropic
Google is planning to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the artificial intelligence firm confirmed Friday, expanding a long-standing alliance between the two companies.
Medical Xpress / WHO approves first malaria treatment for infants
The World Health Organization announced Friday that it had given prequalification approval to a malaria treatment for newborns and infants for the first time.
Phys.org / Simplifying clean hydrogen production with a new all-in-one photocatalytic cocatalyst
Researchers have demonstrated the first "all-in-one" cocatalyst for photocatalytic overall water splitting, a breakthrough that could simplify the production of clean hydrogen fuel. The discovery marks an important step toward ...
Tech Xplore / Billionaire Elon Musk enters courtroom showdown with OpenAI
Jury selection is to begin Monday in a high-profile legal battle between billionaire Elon Musk and artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, which he accuses of betraying its nonprofit mission.
Phys.org / Light near surface of ultra-thin optical fibers can sort twisted nanoparticles
Many important objects in the world can be divided into two categories based on their chirality or handedness, including molecules important for life such as amino acids. Such chiral objects (formally defined as objects which ...
Phys.org / Re-engineered human cells boost gene-editing particle potency across multiple delivery systems
Gene editing has emerged as a powerful approach for targeting the genetic causes of disease, but getting the editing machinery into the right cells efficiently, safely, and at the scale needed for therapies remains one of ...
