Phys.org / Inbound: Astronomers discover third interstellar object
Astronomy news always seems to break over coffee, on laptop startup. That was the case on Wednesday morning, when word of a curious new object started flashing across the message boards.
Phys.org / Bees' secret to super-efficient learning could transform AI and robotics
A new discovery of how bees use their flight movements to facilitate remarkably accurate learning and recognition of complex visual patterns could mark a major change in how next-generation AI is developed, according to a ...
Phys.org / Photon 'time bins' and signal stability show promise for practical quantum communication via fiber optics
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, Germany, together with international collaborators, have developed two complementary methods that could make quantum communication via fiber ...
Medical Xpress / Alcohol impacts decision-making in males more than females, findings suggest
Alcohol consumption is widely known to affect decision-making, but a recent study led by researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso found that the extent of that impact may have something to do with the drinker's ...
Phys.org / High-velocity molecular clouds in M83 provide new insight into how galaxies evolve
A new result from the molecular gas survey in the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy M83 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Telescope reveals a discovery of 10 high-velocity clouds composed of molecular gas, ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds mental health disorders, malaria and heart disease were most affected by COVID pandemic
Disrupted care during the COVID-19 pandemic led to sharp increases in other non-COVID causes of illness and death, particularly mental health disorders, malaria in young children, and stroke and heart disease in older adults, ...
Phys.org / A tiny satellite offers giant potential for unlocking cloud and energy flow mysteries
Beginning in the 1960s, satellite instruments have measured Earth's reflected broadband shortwave radiation and emitted longwave radiation. These measurements have been used to estimate Earth's "energy balance," defined as ...
Phys.org / Modified inhibitors show promise against coronaviruses by targeting essential Mac1 protein domain
A study published in mBio details the vulnerability of coronaviruses to inhibitors of a small protein domain called Mac1, or the "macrodomain," found in all coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV.
Medical Xpress / Pandemic-era tax credit lifted families but left many immigrant children behind, study finds
In 2021, Congress temporarily boosted the value of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and expanded the maximum credit, for the first time, to families with no or little income. This policy change cut child poverty nearly in half. ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers find immune pathway in joint tissue involved in early rheumatoid arthritis
A new study by scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus reveals that joint tissue from patients with early-stage rheumatoid arthritis often have high levels of a protein called granzyme used by the ...
