Medical Xpress / Where 9/11 responders live may influence frailty, PTSD and depression decades later

Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that environmental conditions where World Trade Center responders live may influence their ...

Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired computing: Using noise to regulate information flow in neural networks

Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity—often dismissed as random "noise"—to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks—or brain-inspired devices—can ...

Tech Xplore / AI could soon infer human intent by sensing "that's not what I meant" through neural feedback

A future in which AI can recognize a person's unspoken "that's not what I meant" response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects ...

Phys.org / Scientists want to 3D print houses on Mars with the help of yeast

Mars is a terrible place to build a house. It's bitterly cold, blasted by radiation and a near vacuum. Not to mention that the building materials, even for a modest shelter, could spend months hurtling through space before ...

Phys.org / Sun's largest sunspots may have potential to trigger superflares

The sun is capable of great things. In massive eruptions, it repeatedly hurls particles and radiation into space. This solar bombardment can be dangerous for technical infrastructure on Earth: For example, satellites and ...

Dialog / Early Earth's auroral belts may have formed a natural ion-beam reactor for prebiotic chemistry

We usually think of auroras as beautiful lights in the night sky. I see them as visible traces of a connection between the sun, Earth's magnetic field and the atmosphere. This led me to an origin-of-life question: Could the ...

Phys.org / Under pressure: How a deep-sea protein adapts to an extreme environment

Life in the deep sea is under immense pressure—literally. Such extreme conditions can disrupt the delicate structures of proteins essential to life. Yet somehow, the proteins in deep-sea creatures remain functional. This ...

Tech Xplore / AI may cut junior coding tasks and weaken the pipeline to senior developers

New research suggests that generative artificial intelligence (AI) could weaken not only employment opportunities for junior software developers but also the pathway through which they develop into senior professionals.

Phys.org / 'Fingerprints' inside the sun could reveal if it once swallowed a planet

It is thought the sun may have engulfed a super-Earth-sized planet early in its history. Now, a new study has gone a step further, suggesting that such an event may have left behind detectable clues inside the sun that could ...

Phys.org / OpenAI says 10,000 AI agents cracked one of math's hardest problems in 88 hours

OpenAI said Tuesday that one of its unreleased artificial intelligence models had solved a mathematical puzzle that has eluded mathematicians for generations, a claim that also drew a fight with rival researchers over credit.

Phys.org / Weak hydrogen bonds dethrone copper as the most stable metal binder, opening a new path for metal selection

Copper has been knocked off the top of a stability ranking it had dominated for decades. Without altering the atoms directly bonded to the metal, a KAIST research team reversed the longstanding trend in which copper generally ...
