Phys.org / Using AI to predict earthquakes: Machine learning detects subtle changes before lab-scale fault failures
Predicting earthquakes has long been an unattainable fantasy. Factors like odd animal behaviors that have historically been thought to forebode earthquakes are not supported by empirical evidence. As these factors often occur ...
Tech Xplore / How heat from old coal mines became a source of local pride in this northern English town
Around a quarter of UK homes lie on disused coalfields. These abandoned coal mines are flooded with water that is naturally heated by the Earth.
Phys.org / Study sheds new light on reaction dynamics of weakly bound nuclei
Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported new experimental results that advance our understanding of reaction dynamics and exotic nuclear structures of weakly ...
Phys.org / Scientists map mitochondrial DNA and nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment landscape in Chinese population
Mitochondria generate most of the body's energy. Variations in their genetic material have long been linked to neurological disorders, metabolic syndromes, and cancers. However, most large-scale mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) ...
Phys.org / U.S. employee well-being hit new low in 2024, survey reveals
New research from the Human Capital Development Lab at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School analyzes the state of the American workforce in 2024 and shows an overall decline in employee well-being compared to years prior.
Phys.org / A toxin with a useful twist: Diphtheria fragment merges lipid vesicles at neutral pH
Researchers from the SNI network have discovered a novel way to fuse lipid vesicles at neutral pH. By harnessing a fragment of the diphtheria toxin, the team achieved vesicle membrane fusion without the need for pre-treatment ...
Phys.org / Scientists use Icelandic mudrocks to prepare for Mars sample analysis
To say that a trip from Earth to Mars is merely a long one would be a massive understatement. On July 30, 2020, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent its Mars rover "Perseverance" atop an Atlas ...
Medical Xpress / A 'magic bullet' for polycystic kidney disease in the making
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a debilitating hereditary condition in which fluid-filled sacs form and proliferate in the kidneys. Over time, the painful, growing cysts rob the organs of their function, often leading ...
Tech Xplore / Artificial neuron can mimic different parts of the brain—a major step toward human-like robotics
Robots that can sense and respond to the world like humans may soon be a reality as scientists have created an artificial neuron capable of mimicking different parts of the brain.
Medical Xpress / Youth with mental health conditions share strikingly similar brain changes, regardless of diagnosis
An international study—the largest of its kind—has uncovered similar structural changes in the brains of young people diagnosed with anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD and conduct disorder, offering new insights into ...
