Phys.org / Framework sets new benchmarks for 3D atom maps in amorphous materials
Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the three-dimensional positions and elemental identities of atoms in amorphous materials. These solids, such as ...
Phys.org / Ancient Martian beach discovered, providing new clues to red planet's habitability
New findings from NASA's Perseverance rover have revealed evidence of wave-formed beaches and rocks altered by subsurface water in a Martian crater that once held a vast lake—considerably expanding the timeline for potential ...
Medical Xpress / DNA research uncovers 22 genes that could put people at risk of long-term health conditions
Baylor College of Medicine researchers are part of a collaborative research group with AstraZeneca and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that have identified 22 genes which increase the risk of developing a range of ...
Medical Xpress / Innovators removing barriers to health care, accelerating impact on communities in need
Driven by an older, more diverse population and a significant increase in risk factors, at least six in 10 U.S. adults are projected to have some form of cardiovascular disease, causing related health care costs to triple. ...
Tech Xplore / Powering AI from space, at scale, with a passive tether design
Penn Engineers have developed a novel design for solar-powered data centers that will orbit Earth and could realistically scale to meet the growing demand for AI computing while reducing the environmental impact of data centers.
Medical Xpress / Pain and recreational drug use stand out as potent triggers for late alcohol use disorder relapse
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States and worldwide, and leads to substantial disease and medical complications. While treatments are available that can help patients ...
Phys.org / Cross-border pollution tracking reveals unequal distribution of risk and responsibility
Microscopic airborne particles known as PM2.5 contribute to 100,000 premature deaths in the United States each year. A new University of Notre Dame study finds that 40% of these deaths can be attributed to pollution that ...
Phys.org / Thinking on different wavelengths: New approach to circuit design introduces next-level quantum computing
Quantum computing represents a potential breakthrough technology that could far surpass the technical limitations of modern-day computing systems for some tasks. However, putting together practical, large-scale quantum computers ...
Tech Xplore / Swarms of mini robots that 'bloom' could lead to adaptive architecture
Nature is, of course, the master engineer—been there, seen it, solved it. While we struggle to design buildings that don't overheat or feel like concrete cages, nature has been perfecting comfortable living structures for ...
Medical Xpress / Winter changes more than the weather—it changes how we connect. How to stay socially engaged
Throughout Earth's history, life in temperate and polar zones has had to contend with the cold and darkness of winter. Across species, seasonal adaptation is the norm. Some animals hibernate, others migrate, and many reduce ...
Tech Xplore / Apple's iPhone sales surge to new quarterly high despite early missteps in artificial intelligence
Apple's iPhone sales soared to a new quarterly record during the holiday season, despite artificial intelligence blunders that prompted the technology trendsetter to get a helping hand from Google.
