Phys.org / InclusiveAI: Public voting model could open AI decisions to broader communities
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems affect many parts of daily life, including health care, education, and public policy, but the public has had few meaningful opportunities to participate in the development, governance, ...
Phys.org / Earth system AI closes data gaps to shows how extreme weather emerges
The impacts were severe: Within a very short time, tropical storm Doksuri intensified into a super typhoon in July 2023. Exceptionally strong winds tore roofs from houses along the coasts of China and the Philippines, trees ...
Medical Xpress / Gene-edited stem cell transplant shows promise for aggressive blood cancers
For highly aggressive types of blood cancer, stem cell transplantation is often the only potentially curative therapy, yet even after a transplant, these cancers often return. Now a clinical trial, led by researchers at Washington ...
Phys.org / Methane fingerprints sharpen global emissions map, pointing to China, India and Central Africa
Atmospheric methane levels have surged to record highs in recent years and are projected to increase by as much as 13% by 2030, according to a report from the Climate & Clean Air Coalition. As scientists work to better understand ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly half of U.S. women have financial concerns that could impact health care, report suggests
Nearly half of U.S. women are more concerned about affording health care than about developing serious diseases, according to a national report released by the Cleveland Clinic.
Medical Xpress / Wearable polygraph tracks hidden stress through five body signals in real time
Northwestern University engineers have developed a small, wireless polygraph system you can wear. Unlike polygraphs used in television crime dramas, this wearable version isn't optimized to detect lies. Instead, engineers ...
Phys.org / A hidden lubricant in creeping faults? Uncovering the mysteries of aseismic slip
Geological faults hold many secrets that may help us answer important questions about the nature of our planet and what really happens deep underground. One of the biggest mysteries lies within the Atotsugawa Fault System ...
Medical Xpress / Post-exercise 'warm glow' increases generosity, study shows
You've just finished a workout, lungs burning, heart pumping, and you feel energized and ready to take on the day. That's your brain rewarding you with a hit of dopamine—the feel-good hormone that exercise is known to trigger.
Phys.org / How temperature changes light: New model could guide smarter LEDs, sensors and photonic devices
Technion researchers have developed, for the first time, a comprehensive physical model explaining how the properties of a radiating material, including absorption, emission, and quantum efficiency, affect the fundamental ...
Phys.org / Ancient bacterial toolkit links human gut health to ocean carbon cycling
Our gut is colonized by legions of bacteria, which supply us with essential nutrients and support our health. Among them are Akkermansia bacteria, which might be helpful in the management of conditions like obesity and diabetes.
Phys.org / New tectonic plate boundary could be forming in Zambia, scientists say
Isotope analysis of gas from geothermal springs in Zambia could show that a new continental rift is forming, scientists say. Unexpectedly high helium isotope ratios indicate that a weakness in Earth's crust has broken through ...
Tech Xplore / 3D printing enables powder metallurgical hot isostatic pressing of large, critical parts
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a method that uses additive manufacturing (AM)—3D printing—to fabricate custom canisters for powder metallurgical hot ...
