Phys.org / Out-of-plane ice bridges reveal new way to suppress frost spreading
A research team led by Professor Nenad Miljkovic in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has published a breakthrough study in Nature Physics. The work reports the first experimental ...
Tech Xplore / Consistency, not complexity, is the key to teaching robots dexterity, new research suggests
Teaching robots to manipulate objects with humanlike dexterity has long been one of robotics' toughest challenges. Tasks such as rotating an object in-hand or coordinating two robot arms to maneuver a bulky item require constant ...
Tech Xplore / 'Baked' yeast-based materials power 3D-printed architectural materials
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new, entirely bio-based material from a somewhat unexpected ingredient: yeast. The material is 3D printed and customized for use in architectural ...
Medical Xpress / Heart rhythm monitoring with a smartphone could save health care resources
Smartphone-based heart rhythm monitoring from home can reduce same-day cancellations and help save significant health care resources ahead of planned electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation. This is ...
Phys.org / Ancient cave lion genomes reveal a distinct lineage
A new study on multiple genomes from the extinct cave lion has discovered that it represented a highly distinct evolutionary lineage, which separated from modern lions more than a million years ago. The results also show ...
Phys.org / Armed with AI, study identifies prey from predator crunching sounds
Interactions between hard-shelled marine mollusks such as clams and snails and their predators play a critical but largely unseen role in shaping coastal ecosystems. These organisms help stabilize shorelines, filter water ...
Phys.org / Inside Europe's largest Copper Age tomb, children's bones expose an ancient health crisis hidden for 5,000 years
Nearly 5,000 years ago, respiratory infections, possibly including tuberculosis, were ravaging the children buried at Camino del Molino (CMOL), Spain. The massive circular burial cave carved into rock is Europe's largest ...
Phys.org / Abortion restrictions associated with lower female medical school applicant numbers
States with restrictive abortion policies saw slower growth in the proportion of female medical school applicants following the 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade, according to a new study published in the open-access journal PLOS ...
Phys.org / Mathematicians say 'don't believe hype' on AI capabilities
Dozens of mathematicians signed a declaration Tuesday calling for the discipline to resist beating the drum for artificial intelligence developers.
Tech Xplore / UN report warns AI could soon use 3% of world's electricity and more water than we need to drink
One argument often used to quell concerns about the rising energy and resource demand of data centers is that artificial intelligence (AI) models will need less in the future as they improve and become more efficient.
Tech Xplore / ChartNet trains AI to read charts, boosting smaller models past commercial rivals
To accelerate and refine decision-making in a fast-paced, global marketplace, enterprises may deploy generative artificial intelligence models to help summarize and interpret the charts that often fill market summaries and ...
Medical Xpress / A single clonal starting point may explain how multiple cervical cancer subtypes arise
How do different cancer subtypes arise? Do they originate from distinct cells, or from a single multipotent cell capable of differentiating into multiple cell types? This question, debated for decades in cancer biology, is ...
