Phys.org / Water and 13 hallmarks of complexity trace path from molecules to life
Many properties of molecules cannot be predicted from the properties of the atoms they consist of. These properties only emerge when they are combined—a phenomenon known in science as "emergence." A publication by Goethe ...
Phys.org / Subglacial CH₄ export from the Greenland Ice Sheet linked to a mid-Holocene warm period
In a new paper, an international team led by scientists from Charles University, Czechia, has brought evidence linking widespread release of methane (CH₄)—a strong greenhouse gas—from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) to a warmer ...

Tech Xplore / Majority voting method provides a smarter way to catch software bugs
Researchers from The University of Osaka, Kyushu University, and the University of Victoria have developed a new method called Majority Voting SZZ (MV-SZZ) that accurately identifies defect-inducing software commits. By combining ...
Phys.org / CPR simulator for space use tracks the differences of blood flow in reduced gravity
The new focus on manned missions to the moon and Mars presents countless pressing challenges, including keeping humans alive in hostile environments. What happens when an astronaut or space tourist has a cardiac emergency ...
Tech Xplore / Memristor chip merges memory and computing, cutting AI power use by more than half
With a simple click, your hastily taken photo sharpens, a garbled voice message turns into polished text and a chatbot drafts an email in perfect prose. Today's digital tools, enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), seem ...
Phys.org / Bacterial protein map could open new path against drug-resistant infections
La Trobe scientists have made a pivotal discovery in the fight against dangerous drug-resistant bacteria, as the University launches a major research initiative focused on new ways to target antimicrobial resistance (AMR). ...
Medical Xpress / Technology receives FDA approval for breast cancer treatment
More than a decade ago, Yale chemist Craig Crews founded a biotechnology company in New Haven based on his pioneering research into PROTACs (or PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera), a technology that treats certain types of cancer ...
