Science X / A whale meets itself at last: Belugas may have crossed a cognition line to join an elite group of animals
For humans, recognizing our reflection comes naturally, and we barely give it a second thought. Called mirror self-recognition (MSR), it is widely considered a sign of self-awareness and cognitive development. In the animal ...
Phys.org / Molecule-in-a-crystal system could boost quantum computing via chemically engineered qubits
Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information processing. Through ...
Medical Xpress / Autism social differences emerge early but can change considerably by adulthood, research suggests
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in behavior, social interactions, communication, and sensory perceptions. Some autistic individuals find communicating and connecting ...
Medical Xpress / Natural ear reconstruction without prolonged pain after cartilage-harvesting surgery is now possible
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago is the first in the world to eliminate months of pain after surgical repair for microtia—a rare condition where a child is born with an underdeveloped or missing outer ...
Medical Xpress / Report shows polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome needs more than just a name change
Earlier this month, endocrinology specialists at the European Congress of Endocrinology announced that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is being renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect the ...
Tech Xplore / Despite headlines, America's solar boom isn't sparking constant backlash
Most large-scale solar energy projects in the United States encounter relatively little public conflict, despite widespread perceptions that opposition to solar development is common, according to a new study led by University ...
Phys.org / Remote sensing measures economic cost of war in Gaza
Remote sensing quantifies the destruction of both infrastructure and economic activity from the war in Gaza. Satellite-based data reveals that more than three quarters of Gaza's economy has been wiped out since the Israel-Hamas ...
Tech Xplore / AI's growing footprint raises fire safety challenges for data centers
Over the past decade, the ability of artificial intelligence to speed up complex processes has made it a key tool in engineering research. Many people associate AI with cloud computing, but its growth requires expanding infrastructure, ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop Bayesian inference for hidden dependence structures in multi-group high-dimensional data
In today's scientific and industrial fields, high-dimensional data in which numerous variables are observed simultaneously, such as genomic, climate, financial, and sensor data, are rapidly increasing. In such data, it is ...
Tech Xplore / Optical wireless quantum security: Free-space QKD and Li-Fi in one system
The German consortium QuINSiDa has achieved a major step toward mobile quantum-secure communication. They demonstrated a one-of-a-kind free-space data transfer channel supporting, for the first time, LiFi and major quantum ...
Medical Xpress / RSV mutations tied to severe childhood cases uncovered after 2022 surge
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common childhood disease. Most people catch and recover from it by the age of three. 2022 was different, though. There was a severe and early outbreak of RSV that overwhelmed hospitals.
Phys.org / Researchers upcycle pomegranate peel into high-performance water purifier
Pomegranate peel discarded by food vendors could soon help clean up contaminated water, thanks to research from the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Science. Led by Professor Sam Li, the research team developed a ...
