Medical Xpress / The case for having an imperfect memory: A psychologist explains
Think back to your time at school. Were you hard-working, popular, anxious? And what exam grades did you get? Now, imagine someone pulls out your report cards from that time. How closely would they match the results you just ...
Phys.org / Molecular clock transitions tune out the noise in the hunt for new physics
Heavy polar molecules are some of the most sensitive tools physicists have for probing what lies beyond the Standard Model, the theory that describes the particles and forces we know about. But turning that sensitivity into ...
Phys.org / French firefighters face 'pyrocumulonimbus' for first time
The gigantic wildfire ravaging southwestern France has created an extremely dangerous "pyrocumulonimbus"—a phenomenon never before seen in the country—the spokesman for the country's National Firefighters Federation of France ...
Phys.org / Satellite images could help target sustainable farming support for small fields
For decades, satellites have helped scientists observe Earth's changing landscapes. Now, they could also help answer one of agriculture's most pressing questions: How can the world produce more food while reducing its environmental ...
Phys.org / Researchers uncover new mechanism behind DNA repair
Roughly 20 million people receive a cancer diagnosis each year, and an estimated 1 in 5 people will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. Cancer cells arise from damage to the cell's instruction manual: DNA.
Phys.org / Unwritten social rules, not government oversight, help keep forest land sustainable
Swidden agriculture—often called "slash-and-burn"—has been practiced on every inhabited continent throughout human history, and for decades it has been blamed for the destruction of the world's rainforests. However, a new ...
Medical Xpress / New global CARE-AI framework sets standard for responsible AI in health education and care
An international team of researchers, clinicians, educators, ethicists and patient partners has developed and validated the Health CARE-AI (Contextual, Accountable, Responsible, and Equitable Artificial Intelligence) Framework. ...
Phys.org / Australian cave discovery shows grass was burned for magic, cures and curses for 25,000 years
The GunaiKurnai, an Australian Aboriginal nation, are the acknowledged traditional custodians of Gippsland and the southern Victorian Alps. Within their territory are caves known from 19th-century ethnographic reports and ...
Phys.org / In Kyushu's decorated tombs, humans were never meant to be individuals
When you first step into Japan's Kyushu tombs, the first thing you notice is nothing at all. "When you enter, you're engulfed by darkness; you can smell earth and stone, and you have the sensation of being enclosed …," said ...
Phys.org / What Australian lakes showed us about Martian hydrology
The expansive red bluffs of Western Australia's Yilgarn Craton give the landscape a Martian appearance. It turns out the resemblance is more than superficial: The Yilgarn Craton also shares geological characteristics with ...
Tech Xplore / Soft exosuit shows motor-free path to wearable walking assistance
Researchers in China have unveiled a new robotic exosuit driven entirely by soft artificial muscles instead of traditional motors. This technology could make it easier for older adults, injured patients or factory workers ...
Tech Xplore / Low-temperature technique grows crystal-aligned semiconductor films
Building next-generation semiconductors and low-power electronic devices requires precisely stacking materials with different functions. In this process, it is essential to preserve each material's intrinsic properties, as ...
