Phys.org / Young shark species more vulnerable to extinction, fossil record reveals
Whether a species has just freshly emerged, or it has been around for millions of years does not dictate its vulnerability. This has been the assumption of an old debate on whether species' age plays a role in extinction ...
Phys.org / Spot the males: New gene-editing method could transform mosquito control
Researchers have developed a new "color-coded" genetic method that makes it easy to distinguish male and female mosquitoes. This innovation can help solve a major bottleneck in mosquito control strategies that rely on releasing ...
Phys.org / Acid-treated carbon nanotubes boost efficiency and stability of flexible perovskite solar modules
Flexible perovskite solar modules (f-PSMs) are a key innovation in current renewable energy technology, offering a pathway toward sustainable and efficient energy solutions. However, ensuring long-term operational stability ...
Tech Xplore / Confined crystallization strategy improves spray-coated perovskite device performance
Metal halide perovskites are promising for next-generation high-efficiency photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices due to excellent tunable properties and solution processability. Recent fabrication techniques (such as spin ...
Tech Xplore / Volatile Oracle shares a proxy for Wall Street's AI jitters
For a reading of Wall Street's shifting mood on the artificial intelligence investment boom, take a look at the daily fluctuations of Oracle stock, analysts say.
Phys.org / Embrace chaos to get lifelike movement from synthetic materials, researchers say
When people think of high-powered machines, they'd likely think of muscle cars before their own muscles. But muscles and other living tissues can do energetic things very quickly—they twitch, snap and beat—which is how ...
Medical Xpress / Individual genetic differences can render some antibody-based therapies ineffective
Antibody-based therapies are used to treat numerous diseases, from cancer to rheumatic disorders and multiple sclerosis. Antibodies recognize and bind to very specific structures. This allows them to direct active substances ...
Tech Xplore / New 3D benchmark leaves AI in knots
Today's artificial intelligence models can't even tie their own shoes.
Medical Xpress / New understanding of T cell receptors may improve cancer immunotherapies
One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack dangerous cells. Yet a full ...
Phys.org / Bromeliads promote plant diversity in the forest by enriching the soil with nutrients
Anyone seeing a white jacaranda (Jacaranda puberula), also known as caroba, blooming in the sandbank forest might assume that the leafy tree could not survive in such sandy soil. They would be right. This type of Atlantic ...
Phys.org / Detailed cell map unlocks secrets of how reproductive organs form
New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into conditions affecting ...
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop real-time membrane imaging for sustainable water filtration
CU Boulder researchers have introduced a solution to improving the performance of large-scale desalination plants: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
