Phys.org / How does Santa do it all? Quantum physics, that's how, says scientist
Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.
Phys.org / NAC protein complex slows early synthesis to optimize cellular protein production
Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The genetic code of our genome ...
Phys.org / New technique lights up where drugs go in the body, cell by cell
When you take a drug, where in your body does it actually go? For most medications, scientists can make only educated guesses about the answer to this question. Traditional methods can measure the concentration of a drug ...
Tech Xplore / Feral AI gossip with the potential to spread damage and shame will become more frequent, researchers warn
"Feral" gossip spread via AI bots is likely to become more frequent and pervasive, causing reputational damage and shame, humiliation, anxiety, and distress, researchers have warned.
Tech Xplore / New computer vision method links photos to floor plans with pixel-level accuracy
For people, matching what they see on the ground to a map is second nature. For computers, it has been a major challenge. A Cornell research team has introduced a new method that helps machines make these connections—an ...
Phys.org / Predictive 'mismatch' leads to novel carbon capture method
When experimental results don't match scientists' predictions, it's usually assumed that the predictions were wrong. But new research into materials that pull carbon dioxide directly from the air shows how such mismatches ...
Medical Xpress / How to deal with worry this Christmas
Christmas can be hard. For some people, it increases loneliness, grief, hopelessness and family tension, and the festive season has a way of turning ordinary concerns into urgent ones. Not because something terrible is guaranteed ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes show selective feeding habits during galaxy mergers
Black holes are notorious for gobbling up everything that comes their way, but astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered that even supermassive black holes can be picky eaters, ...
Phys.org / Smile and the world will trust you: How mimicry shapes first impressions
How does mimicry affect the way we judge other people? Whose behavior do we imitate, and in what situations? It turns out that we are more likely to mimic people who express joy, and we perceive those people as more attractive ...
Medical Xpress / Clearing the brain of aging cells could aid epilepsy and reduce seizures
Temporal lobe epilepsy, which results in recurring seizures and cognitive dysfunction, is associated with premature aging of brain cells.
Tech Xplore / Helping AI agents search to get the best results out of large language models
Whether you're a scientist brainstorming research ideas or a CEO hoping to automate a task in human resources or finance, you'll find that artificial intelligence (AI) tools are becoming the assistants you didn't know you ...
