Phys.org / Open-source model more accurately measures greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas
McGill engineering researchers have introduced an open-source model that makes it easier for experts and non-experts alike to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. natural gas supply chains and yields more accurate ...
Tech Xplore / Q&A: Will self-driving cars reduce traffic injuries? Researchers examine promising data
Driverless vehicles haven't yet taken to Canadian roads, but they've already rolled out in some other countries. Proponents say the technology will mean fewer accidents, while others have raised concerns about safety, liability ...
Phys.org / Surface ceramics reveal self-sufficient rural economy in Ancient Samos
An international team of researchers has uncovered hidden clues about life in the hills of ancient southwest Samos, Greece.
Tech Xplore / Musk vs OpenAI trial set for April 27
A trial in the lawsuit brought by Elon Musk against OpenAI CEO Samuel Altman and other defendants—including tech giant Microsoft—is scheduled to begin April 27, according to a federal court order issued Tuesday.
Phys.org / Hubble nets menagerie of young stellar objects
A disparate collection of young stellar objects bejewels a cosmic panorama in the star-forming region NGC 1333 in this new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. To the left, an actively forming star called a protostar ...
Medical Xpress / A new tool could tell us how consciousness works
Consciousness is famously a "hard problem" of science: We don't precisely know how the physical matter in our brains translates into thoughts, sensations, and feelings. But an emerging research tool called transcranial focused ...
Medical Xpress / Fear of legal consequences and institutional secrecy prevent learning from medical errors, expert argues
Medical errors remain one of the leading causes of death worldwide, rivaling heart disease and cancer. Yet while medicine has made dramatic progress in treating illness, it has made far less headway in preventing avoidable ...
Phys.org / Microbial genes could improve our understanding of water pollution
Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling nutrients and breaking down or transforming pollutants. However, scientists still struggle to reliably ...
Phys.org / The cosmic seesaw: Black holes eject material as winds or jets, but not both at once
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have discovered that black holes don't just consume matter—they manage it, choosing whether to blast it into space as high-speed jets or sweep it away in vast winds.
Phys.org / Fungal mechanism reveals how powdery mildew overcomes wheat immune defenses
Cereals have natural resistance to pathogenic fungi, but powdery mildew, for example, can overcome this resistance. A team at the University of Zurich has now discovered a new mechanism that enables powdery mildew to outsmart ...
Medical Xpress / Mega-analysis links widespread brain shrinkage to memory decline in aging
An international study that pooled brain scans and memory tests from thousands of adults has shed new light on how structural brain changes are tied to memory decline as people age.
Phys.org / An AI-driven strategy to accelerate microbial gene function discovery
We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) ...
