Phys.org / Ochre used in ancient graves in Finland reflects identity of deceased
Roughly 5,500–6,000 years ago, the area including present-day Finland was inhabited by hunter-fisher-gatherers living in small village-like clusters. Traveling via waterways, these people established permanent fishing systems, ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop first gene-editing treatment for skin conditions
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for the first time. The UBC ...
Medical Xpress / 3D chip platform enables animal-free testing in cancer research
Cancer research laboratory tests can now be done using micro-physiological systems mimicking human physiology, allowing greater predictive accuracy for human patient responses, thanks to an international scientific team led ...
Phys.org / Raman sensors with push-pull alkyne tags amplify weak signals to track cell chemistry
Seeing chemistry unfold inside living cells is one of the biggest challenges of modern bioimaging. Raman microscopy offers a powerful way to meet this challenge by reading the unique vibrational signatures of molecules. However, ...
Tech Xplore / Foundation AI models trained on physics, not words, are driving scientific discovery
While popular AI models such as ChatGPT are trained on language or photographs, new models created by researchers from the Polymathic AI collaboration are trained using real scientific datasets. The models are already using ...
Phys.org / Finnish birdwatchers' app data fuel world's most accurate model for predicting bird occurrence
New cutting-edge research, led by Academy Professor Otso Ovaskainen of the University of Jyväskylä and David Dunson at Duke University, combines citizen bird observations with artificial intelligence and the computing power ...
Phys.org / Tornado-forecast system can increase warning lead times, study finds
Researchers at the University of Kansas have shown the National Severe Storms Laboratory's Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) has potential to help weather forecasters issue warnings to emergency managers and the general public ...
Phys.org / Milky Way is embedded in a 'large-scale sheet' of dark matter, which explains motions of nearby galaxies
Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from Germany, France and Sweden show that most of the (dark) matter beyond the Local Group of galaxies (which ...
Phys.org / Thinking on different wavelengths: New approach to circuit design introduces next-level quantum computing
Quantum computing represents a potential breakthrough technology that could far surpass the technical limitations of modern-day computing systems for some tasks. However, putting together practical, large-scale quantum computers ...
Phys.org / How gut bacteria share antibiotic resistance genes and fuel dangerous hospital infections
Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have uncovered how a high-risk class of genetic vectors can efficiently spread antibiotic resistance within the gut, enabling ...
Medical Xpress / New study finds heart attacks involve brain and immune system, not just heart
Arteries become clogged. Blood flow is restricted and oxygen is cut off. The result is a heart attack, the world's leading cause of death.
Phys.org / A new route to synthesize multiple functionalized carbon nanohoops
The field of nanomaterials is witnessing a transformative shift at the intersection of organic chemistry and molecular engineering. Among the most promising molecular structures are carbon nanohoops, of which [n]cycloparaphenylenes ...
