Dialog / How terahertz beams and a quantum-inspired receiver could free multi-core processors from the wiring bottleneck
For decades, computing followed a simple rule: Smaller transistors made chips faster, cheaper, and more capable. As Moore's law slows, a different limit has come into focus. The challenge is no longer only computation; modern ...
Phys.org / Coexisting with coyotes: Encounters remain manageable despite hidden disease risk
In 2009, researcher Colleen Cassady St. Clair noticed that coyote sightings in urban neighborhoods were being reported more often. She was also seeing the animals in areas where they hadn't dared to venture before. St. Clair ...
Phys.org / Indole chemistry advance could accelerate drug development with precise targeting
Indole, a molecule made up of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered ring containing nitrogen, forms the core structure of many biologically active compounds. Derivatives of indole, where hydrogen atoms are ...
Medical Xpress / Cell-mapping tool provides insightful multi-layered view of cancer behavior
Researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a new computational tool called Vesalius, which could help clinicians understand the complex relationships between cancer cells and their surrounding cells, ...
Medical Xpress / Communication between tau and amyloid-β proteins found to mitigate Alzheimer's toxicity
An estimated 50 million people worldwide have dementia, with Alzheimer's disease—accounting for more than 70%—being the representative neurodegenerative brain disorder. A Korean research team has, for the first time, ...
Phys.org / Great white sharks head north, following seals and alarming beachgoers
Rick Clough spent some four decades fishing for lobsters and sea urchins off the Maine coast before spotting one of the ocean's most recognized predators—a great white shark.
Phys.org / Turning spin loss into energy: New principle could enable ultra-low power devices
A research team has developed a device principle that can utilize "spin loss," which was previously thought of as a simple loss, as a new power source for magnetic control.
Phys.org / 'From outgroup hate to ingroup love': How political crises cause a shift in viral online content
While previous research shows outrage and division drive engagement on social media, a new study of digital behavior during the 2024 US election finds that this effect flips during a major crisis—when "ingroup solidarity" ...
Phys.org / Methane leaks at California oil facilities are also spewing toxic chemicals
Large methane leaks at oil and gas facilities across the United States not only unleash massive plumes of the potent greenhouse gas, but also carry a toxic mix of air pollutants that jeopardize the health of communities nearby, ...
Tech Xplore / AI method reconstructs 3D scene details from simulated images using inverse rendering
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed many computational tools that can analyze and interpret images. These tools have proved useful for a broad range of applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, ...
Phys.org / Phoenician oil bottles of Motya reveal the role of scent in the Iron Age Mediterranean
Pottery shards, coins, and bones can survive for millennia beneath the soil, but the scents of antiquity typically escape archaeological recovery. Now, for the first time, an interdisciplinary team of researchers has comprehensively ...
Phys.org / NASA test deploys Roman Space Telescope solar panels and 'visor'
On Aug. 7 and 8, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team assessed the observatory's solar panels and a visor-like sunshade called the deployable aperture cover—two components that will be stowed for launch and unfold ...
