A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday refused to force Google to sell a division of its digital advertising business, rejecting the government's push to break up part of the company's ad empire.
Phys.org / New clustering method uncovers hidden regularities in data
One dataset, one model? This approach does not always produce the most useful insights, as a dataset often contains many different relationships. To better understand them, researchers at the Paluno Research Institute in ...
Medical Xpress / One flash of red light could check health of bioprinted tissue and implants
Using 3D printers to create complex structures from biocompatible materials that can include living cells has the potential to revolutionize medicine. This process—3D bioprinting—has powered breakthroughs in tissue engineering, ...
Phys.org / DNA testing shows what's really in Western Australian fish and chip shop 'shark' filets
Shark products sold at Western Australian fish-and-chips shops are often labeled too ambiguously or, in some cases, mislabeled, leaving consumers unsure which species they are buying, new Murdoch University research shows.
Phys.org / More trees are needed to cool down European cities in heat waves—but they must be planted near homes
