Medical Xpress / How T cells transform to defend our organs
We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (TRM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease.
Phys.org / New magnetic component discovered in the Faraday effect after nearly two centuries
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its electric field mattered.
Tech Xplore / Turning polarization into motion: Ferroelectric fluids redefine electrostatic actuators
Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise over 80 mm, without magnets or high voltages. By exploiting the fluid's spontaneous polarization ...
Phys.org / The woman and the goose: A 12,000-year-old glimpse into prehistoric belief
A 12,000-year-old clay figurine unearthed in northern Israel, depicting a woman and a goose, is the earliest known human-animal interaction figurine. Found at the Late Natufian site of Nahal Ein Gev II, the piece predates ...
Tech Xplore / Colorado is pumping the brakes on first-of-its-kind AI regulation to find a practical path forward
When the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act passed in May 2024, it made national headlines. The law was the first of its kind in the U.S. It was a comprehensive attempt to govern "high-risk" artificial intelligence systems ...
Phys.org / Physicists demonstrate the constancy of the speed of light with unprecedented accuracy
In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley failed to measure the speed of Earth by comparing the speed of light in the direction of Earth's ...
Phys.org / New synthesis strategy for (–)-gukulenin A reveals the chemistry behind its anticancer effects
A team of researchers from Yale University, U.S., successfully achieved the first stereoselective synthesis of the complex natural product (–)-gukulenin A (7), which exhibits notable cytotoxicity against ovarian cancer.
Tech Xplore / A brain-like chip interprets neural network connectivity in real time
The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human intelligence. To make these ...
Phys.org / Want to make new friends? Take a lesson from these birds
Making new friends has its challenges, even for birds. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati found that monk parakeets introduced to new birds will "test the waters" with potential friends to avoid increasingly dangerous ...
Medical Xpress / Why a foreign language sounds like a blur to non-native ears
Why is it so easy to hear individual words in your native language, but in a foreign language they run together in one long stream of sound?
Medical Xpress / Some children's tantrums can be seen in the brain, new study reveals
In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are using imaging to see how young brains process sensory stimulation.
Tech Xplore / Disney teaches a robot how to fall gracefully and make a soft landing
Bipedal (two-legged) robots are sophisticated machines, but they are not the most graceful when things go wrong. A simple push, fall or an obstacle can send them crashing to the ground, often resulting in expensive damage ...
