Phys.org / Aquifer recharge could buffer water scarcity, yet policy blocks uptake in five countries
Climate change will increasingly stress water supply and economic and environmental systems, creating a mounting need for more ideas to reduce reliance and conserve diminishing river and groundwater resources. MAR takes surface ...
Phys.org / Metagenomics and AI could unlock uncultivated bacteria and archaea
Advances in DNA sequencing have expanded our view of the microbial world, but the inability to cultivate most microbes has been a major constraint. Now, a systematic, predictive framework that combines existing genomic and ...
Medical Xpress / Noninvasive deep brain stimulation technique shows early promise for treating Parkinson's disease
A novel, noninvasive brain stimulation approach—known as transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TIs)—may offer a new way to treat motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease without the need for surgery, according to a ...
Phys.org / Light reshapes metal-organic framework to harvest airborne water
Chemists at the University of Iowa have created a three-dimensional lattice that captures water from the air and stores it. In a new study appearing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, researchers describe a ...
Phys.org / More Star Wars-like worlds emerge as 27 planet candidates with two suns discovered
There's so little we know about circumbinary planets—planets that orbit two stars instead of one—that they can feel like the stuff of fantasy. And for good reason: to date, we've only confirmed the existence of 18 circumbinary ...
Phys.org / Hubble survey sets up Roman's future look near Milky Way's center
The Milky Way's galactic bulge, the bulbous region that surrounds the galactic center, contains a dense collection of stars, planets, and other free-floating objects. This region has been studied for decades with numerous ...
Tech Xplore / Quantum dot emitter delivers near-identical telecom photons at 40 million per second
Quantum technologies, devices that perform specific functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform their classical counterparts on some tasks. Quantum emitters, devices that release individual particles ...
Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI architecture could turn neuromorphic systems into reliable discovery machines
The artificial intelligence (AI) machines that guide the world can be grouped into three main categories: inference machines, learning machines and discovery machines. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are ...
Phys.org / Smarter search for fuel-cell catalysts uses machine learning
A computational method combining generative AI with atomistic simulations can identify promising platinum alloy catalyst structures for hydrogen fuel cells, report researchers from Science Tokyo. Their approach addresses ...
Phys.org / Wildfire smoke's hidden ozone threat may be adding thousands of US deaths each year
A study that assesses the effects of wildfires over two decades shows that wildfire smoke significantly raises ground-level ozone and contributes to excess deaths from wildfire smoke in the United States each year. The research, ...
Medical Xpress / Engaging with the arts linked to slower aging at the biological level
Regularly taking part in arts activities such as reading, listening to music or visiting a gallery or museum may slow the pace of biological aging, suggests a new study by University College London (UCL) researchers.
Science X / Alarm bells fade: One pregnancy vaccine raised fears, but its earliest real-world test tells a different story
Questions about the safety of the RSVpreF vaccine, designed to protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), for both mothers and babies during pregnancy have fueled considerable debate. One of the key concerns ...
