Medical Xpress / AI model proves to be a heavyweight in tumor assessment: Mesothelioma patients and physicians benefit
Physicians and researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have developed an AI model that outperforms physicians in evaluating treatment response in pleural mesothelioma. Far more accurate than the current international ...
Tech Xplore / Could AI tell you where you left your keys?
An auto factory worker can remember the storage bin where she left a partly assembled component the night before and quickly return to that spot to pick it up. But robots that may work side by side with her would struggle ...
Phys.org / Silicon-compatible nanocomposite garnet enables better, simpler optical isolators
A research team from Tohoku University and Kyocera Corp. has developed a new magneto-optical material—a nanocomposite magnetic garnet film—that can be deposited directly onto silicon substrates while delivering a magneto-optical ...
Phys.org / AI decodes plant DNA 'switches' to better predict gene control
An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich and the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed an artificial intelligence model that predicts where regulatory proteins dock onto plant DNA to switch genes on and ...
Phys.org / Plants maintain photosynthesis in hotter, drier climates by coordinating biochemical processes to stabilize CO₂ levels
Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue photosynthesizing under extreme heat and dry air conditions—a finding that could improve how scientists predict ...
Medical Xpress / Amyloid precursor protein protects neurons during nuclear waste disposal
Researchers at Niigata University's Brain Research Institute have uncovered a new function of amyloid precursor protein (APP), a molecule long studied as the precursor to amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study ...
Phys.org / New swine influenza vaccination technique can greatly strengthen disease protection
Husker scientists have developed a new swine influenza vaccination technique whose low cost and adaptability can greatly strengthen disease protection.
Phys.org / Did Neanderthals use rhinoceros teeth as tools?
The RINO project was born from the discovery of unusual marks on rhinoceros teeth recovered from the prehistoric Payre site in France's Rhône Valley. The study of fossil rhinoceros teeth from this Middle Paleolithic site, ...
Medical Xpress / Fully open medical AI framework lets anyone audit how clinical LLMs are built
Medical large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used in clinical settings. For example, AI is helping doctors in emergency rooms flag diagnoses or support decisions. The problem is that most of these systems are ...
Phys.org / How bacteria exploit human cell metabolism to sharpen infections and potentially evade treatment
A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance in infection and inflammation" has discovered a new mechanism by which bacterial pathogens adjust ...
Phys.org / 50-megapixel Earth models capture storms in unprecedented detail—but four consistent blind spots remain
Traditional global climate models were like early digital cameras—they had only about 10,000 pixels to cover the entire planet. At that low resolution, big storm systems looked like blurry blobs. You couldn't see their true ...
Phys.org / Distant ocean temperatures found to influence snowfall in Antarctica
Snowfall deep inside East Antarctica has increased in recent decades, and distant ocean temperature changes may be partly responsible. Using long-term climate data and observations from Dome Fuji station, researchers found ...
