Medical Xpress / Study maps complex interplay between cells, metabolism, and immunity in breast cancer lymph node metastasis
A recent integrative analysis of single-cell sequencing and single-cell spatial mapping of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer reveals novel mechanisms of the metabolic-immune interaction that drive the spread of breast ...
Tech Xplore / Can thermal noise train a computer? A new framework points to low-power AI
What if the thermal noise that hinders the efficiency of both classical and quantum computers could, instead, be used as a power source? What if computers could make use of the noise instead of suppressing or overcoming it? ...
Medical Xpress / Latest treatments help ease essential tremor symptoms
About a decade ago, Joan Riggs, a 64-year-old from Lemoyne, started to have shaky hands. At first, it was an annoyance. However, as the tremors worsened, they kept her from doing the activities she enjoyed most.
Phys.org / What Geminga's 100 TeV cutoff may mean for cosmic-ray acceleration in the Milky Way
For the first time, the Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo surrounding the Geminga pulsar ...
Phys.org / Möbius-inspired surface controls light in two directions
Light is an unusually rich carrier of information. Its direction of travel, wavelength, and polarization can all be used to encode signals or images. Yet controlling these properties independently remains difficult, especially ...
Phys.org / Trapping light on thermal photodetectors shatters speed records
Electrical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated the fastest pyroelectric photodetector to date, which works by absorbing heat generated by incoming light. Capable of capturing light from the entire electromagnetic ...
Medical Xpress / Quitting GLP-1 drugs triggers rapid regain, but 25% of weight loss may last
A year after stopping taking weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, people regain—on average—60% of their lost weight. But beyond this, their regained weight plateaus, with individuals managing to keep off 25% ...
Phys.org / Radiocarbon dating rewrites angiosperm trees' lifespan records worldwide
For decades, scientists have relied on tree rings to estimate how long trees can live. But new research suggests that this widely used method may have been underestimating the lifespan of many flowering trees—sometimes ...
Phys.org / Understanding how cells take up and use isolated mitochondria to restore energy function
Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed during a cell's life, but they also regulate cell death, calcium balance, and responses to stress. ...
Tech Xplore / 'ChatGPT for spreadsheets' helps solve difficult engineering challenges faster
Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be costly, and there may ...
Phys.org / Natural dye produced by Amazonian fungus can be used in cosmetics
Initial tests with a natural dye produced by the Amazonian fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae show that eco-friendly cosmetics, such as face creams, gel sticks, and shampoos, can be developed with antioxidant and antibacterial ...
Phys.org / Late scientist's notebooks help finish study of rare 55-million-year-old tarpon fossil
Recently-revealed notebooks belonging to a late paleontologist contain the missing information needed to help researchers finish their study of a remarkable fossil discovered nearly three decades ago.
