Phys.org / Accuracy test for protein language models shines light into AI 'black box'
AI language models, used to generate human-like text to power chatbots and create content, are also revolutionizing biology by treating complex biological data like a language. Language models are increasingly used, for example, ...
Medical Xpress / Using augmented reality to motivate prosthesis training
Artificial limbs look and function more like real limbs than ever before—but that's only helpful if they are used as intended. One of the main reasons amputees give for not using their body-powered prosthesis is a lack of ...
Phys.org / Impacts from meteors may have helped start life on Earth by creating hydrothermal vents
Meteor impacts may have helped spark life on Earth, creating hot, chemical-rich environments where the first living cells could take shape, according to research integrated by a recent Rutgers University graduate. Shea Cinquemani, ...
Phys.org / Racetrack-shaped lasers developed for bright, stable frequency combs
A new, miniature laser source developed by applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) could soon pack the power of ...
Medical Xpress / Low-dose leukemia drug can clear senescent fat cells and cut inflammation
In collaboration with researchers in South Korea, a team from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) has discovered a promising therapeutic target in fat tissue that improves cellular function, reduces inflammation, and ...
Tech Xplore / Chip-scale light technology could power faster AI and data center communications
Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. ...
Tech Xplore / Vibrations in your skull may be your next password
A team led by Rutgers University researchers has developed a security system that could change how people log in to virtual and augmented reality platforms by eliminating passwords, personal identification numbers and eye ...
Phys.org / Next-generation optical sensor can read photon spin across UV-to-infrared wavelengths
A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not only the intensity and ...
Phys.org / Can you trust a finding? A new project maps which studies replicate
Findings from the Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence (SCORE) program—a collaborative effort involving 865 researchers—have been published in Nature as a collection of three papers alongside a release of ...
Phys.org / NASA fuels rocket to launch astronauts on the first lunar trip in half a century
NASA fueled its moon rocket Wednesday for humanity's first lunar trip in more than half a century, aiming for an evening liftoff with four astronauts.
Phys.org / Cyclic catalysts use sunlight and air to regenerate during pharma ingredient synthesis
In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and cost. However, until now, there has been a trade-off between "precise but disposable catalysts" and ...
Medical Xpress / A stiff defense: Physical rigidity of healthy gum tissue found to shield against chronic periodontal inflammation
Periodontitis is a serious chronic inflammatory form of gum disease that affects millions worldwide. It can lead to tooth loss and the destruction of supporting bone. This disease has also been linked to other health problems, ...
