Phys.org / Limitations of AI-based material prediction: Crystallographic disorder represents a stumbling block
Computer simulations and artificial intelligence often make significant errors when predicting the properties of new, high-performance materials, according to a new international study led by the University of Bayreuth. In ...
Phys.org / Laser draws made-to-order magnetic landscapes
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, have for the first time succeeded in using existing laser technology to ...
Phys.org / New AI-powered tool helps students find creative solutions to complex math proofs
Math students may not blink at calculating probabilities, measuring the area beneath curves or evaluating matrices, yet they often find themselves at sea when first confronted with writing proofs.
Medical Xpress / Microbial molecule that disarms inflammation discovered, offering new diabetes treatment strategy
An international research team has uncovered a surprising ally in the fight against insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes: a microbial metabolite called trimethylamine (TMA). Published in Nature Metabolism, the study reveals ...
Medical Xpress / Get to know your microbiome: It can improve gut health and more, expert explains
Resolutions to improve health typically include measures such as more exercise, a healthier diet and stopping smoking. But what about your gut microbiome? Taking steps to protect and improve it can benefit digestive health ...
Phys.org / A sound defense: Noisy pupae puff away potential predators
Insect pupae hiss like snakes for defense. A Kobe University team now reveals the mechanisms, opening the door to further studies involving predator reactions to defensive sounds.
Phys.org / Cooperative intermolecular interactions regulate supramolecular polymer assembly
Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build large functional structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into one-dimensional polymeric structures ...
Medical Xpress / Exploring how misguided antibodies cause attacks on the nervous system
A review on autoimmune neurological diseases reveals what occurs in our body when the immune system, by mistake, produces antibodies that target a protein essential for the normal functioning of nerves. The result is hyperexcitability, ...
Medical Xpress / New gene-mapping method unlocks hidden drivers of cancer
University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments.
Medical Xpress / The role emotions play in inflammatory bowel disease
Many patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer from abdominal pain even between acute inflammatory flare-ups. Altered processing of pain in response to fear may be involved. This is the conclusion of a research ...
Phys.org / Parasitic fungus may have emerged 18 million years before the ants with which it lives today
A genus of fungi previously considered a parasite of fungi associated with ants may actually have much more complex ecological functions. According to a study published in the journal Communications Biology, one piece of ...
Medical Xpress / Astrocyte diversity across space and time charted in new atlas
When it comes to brain function, neurons get a lot of the glory. But healthy brains depend on the cooperation of many kinds of cells. The most abundant of the brain's non-neuronal cells are astrocytes, star-shaped cells with ...
