Phys.org / LHAASO discovers new extreme particle accelerator in the Milky Way
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has made a breakthrough in exploring the extreme universe. For the first time, the LHAASO collaboration has detected ultra-high-energy (UHE) gamma rays—with energies ...
Phys.org / Atlantic Forest's top predator faces a hidden collapse, and protected areas are no longer enough
In addition to habitat loss and illegal hunting, the jaguar (Panthera onca) faces another threat that increases its risk of extinction in the South American Atlantic Forest: food scarcity. A study by Brazilian researchers ...
Phys.org / Astronomers release massive set of 'virtual universes' for global research
Understanding the universe as a whole requires simulations on cosmic scales. An international team of astrophysicists, with a leading role for researchers at Leiden University, Netherlands, has now released one of the largest ...
Phys.org / Can warning videos blunt misinformation? What a 12-country test found
The internet and social media platforms have given rise to a rising wave of misinformation, with many users now posting fake news, AI-generated photos or videos and other types of misleading content online. Over the past ...
Medical Xpress / Why this CAR T advance matters: Complete remissions without chemotherapy at doses as low as 250,000 cells/kg
Stem-cell memory T (TSCM) cells are a rare subset of immune cells with the ability to self-renew, persist long term, and mount potent anti-tumor responses. These properties make them an attractive candidate for next-generation ...
Tech Xplore / End of black box AI? Scientists develop blueprint for transparent system that reveals how it learns and makes decisions
Artificial intelligence that cannot explain how it makes decisions—often called "black box" AI—could soon be replaced by more transparent systems, research suggests. A study by Loughborough University, published in Physica ...
Medical Xpress / New test promises to detect cancer earlier, from tiny particles in bodily fluids
Cancer claims more than 10 million lives every year globally. Research shows that detecting cancer early can greatly improve a patient's chance of survival. And yet we lack reliable, affordable tools for early detection.
Phys.org / Simulations predict ground motion for earthquakes on Bay Area's Hayward fault
The Hayward fault, part of the larger San Andreas fault system, runs 74 miles through the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. The fault is overdue for an earthquake that could cause extensive damage to such a dense population ...
Phys.org / This ultracold quantum device turns electricity into something far stranger that could unlock sound-based lasers
Researchers at McGill University have developed a novel device that generates sound-like particles known as phonons at extremely cold temperatures. The technology could be used to create phonon lasers, with possible applications ...
Phys.org / CRISPR speed patterns can identify multiple viruses and variants simultaneously
As the spread of infectious diseases accelerates, technologies that can accurately distinguish multiple viruses in a single test are becoming increasingly important. KAIST and an international research team have developed ...
Phys.org / The most common planets in the galaxy don't appear around the most common stars, TESS observations suggest
Astronomers now estimate there is at least one planet for every star in our galaxy. These worlds, called exoplanets, are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system. But new research from McMaster University reveals ...
Tech Xplore / Why pedestrian deaths keep rising: AI spots rare crash patterns where targeted fixes could save lives
On average, car crashes cause more than 40,000 deaths per year in the United States. Technologies like seat belts, advanced airbags, and automated braking systems have improved car driver and passenger safety, but pedestrian ...
