Phys.org / Light lets microswimmers switch between bacteria-like and algae-like propulsion
Physicists at Leipzig University and Charles University in Prague have developed a method for changing the swimming style of tiny artificial microswimmers in real time. They can make a single microscopic particle switch at ...
Phys.org / Report on global water resources: Worldwide continents are drying up
The global water cycle is becoming increasingly unbalanced. Extreme droughts and floods are the result. This is shown in this year's report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on the state of global water resources, ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic says AI systems are moving toward building themselves
Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic said Thursday that AI systems are increasingly capable of building future versions of themselves, adding to mounting concerns about the dangers of the powerful technology.
Tech Xplore / Flexible flight corridors let drones navigate cluttered spaces faster and more safely
Researchers at Durham University have developed a new drone navigation system that enables autonomous aircraft to fly faster, more smoothly and more safely through crowded and obstacle-filled environments. This leads to new ...
Medical Xpress / Patient-specific AI technique could make minimally invasive surgeries safer and more precise
Researchers have created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient's preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely guide ...
Tech Xplore / Could empathic digital humans transform creative learning?
Research originating at Georgia State University's Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) into empathic digital humans and human-centered artificial intelligence continues to evolve, with a new publication, international ...
Medical Xpress / Ancestral diet-inspired pregnancy trial boosts growth in key fetal brain region
A nutrition program for pregnant women inspired by ancestral dietary patterns and adapted to locally available foods in Ecuador increased growth in a key fetal brain region, according to a study led by researchers at Washington ...
Phys.org / New Zealand will be 'super‑aged' within a decade. Are our cities ready?
Within a decade, New Zealand will officially become a "super-aged" society, with more than one in five residents—around 1.2 million people—aged 65 or older.
Phys.org / How a pathogen turns flowers into leaves
Scientists have found how a protein produced by bacteria disrupts the mechanism that controls flower development in plants, turning reproductive organs into leaf-like structures. These findings shed light on a plant disease ...
Phys.org / Plans to artificially dim the sun have divided scientists—here's what they're actually arguing about
No, President Joe Biden did not engineer Hurricane Milton. No, the ice crystal contrails left behind by high-altitude aircraft are not "chemtrails" sprayed by governments to control the weather or manipulate populations. ...
Medical Xpress / Strength training not tied to ventricular arrhythmia in those with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
Strength training is not linked to ventricular arrhythmia for people living with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), according to a study published online Sept. 10 in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology.
Medical Xpress / Small study suggests around half of US teens witness online harm, and around a third have been targeted
A survey of 472 US adolescents across 47 states found 44.7% had witnessed online harassment and 29.8% had experienced it directly in the past four weeks. Perhaps surprisingly, the same proportion of the teens reported being ...
