Phys.org / The key to attacking 'undruggable' proteins: Transient clustering state reveals a moving target
Intrinsically disordered proteins lack a fixed structure, which is why they have been considered "undruggable" targets for drug development for years. However, these proteins play a key role in numerous diseases—ranging ...
Tech Xplore / AI and 3D printing help researchers create heat‑ and pressure‑resistant materials for aerospace and defense applications
From hypersonic aircraft to nuclear-powered submarines, many of today's most advanced defense systems rely on a special class of materials known as refractory alloys. This class refers to metals that do not melt or weaken ...
Medical Xpress / Foundation AI model uses MRI data to predict multiple brain disorders
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are computational models that can learn to identify patterns in data, make accurate predictions or generate content (e.g., texts, images, videos or sound recordings). These models can ...
Phys.org / Rydberg atoms detect clear signals from a handheld radio
For the first time, a team of US researchers has used sensors containing highly excited Rydberg atoms to detect signals from an ordinary handheld radio. Through a careful approach to demodulating the incoming signals, Noah ...
Medical Xpress / Chemists shed light on how age-related cataracts may begin
Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness worldwide and are considered a priority disease by the World Health Organization. In a new study, researchers at the University of California, Irvine uncovered how a subtle chemical ...
Phys.org / Study shows COVID-19 financial stress slowed digital finance adoption in Africa
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of financial technology worldwide, including in many African countries, but it also brought financial hardships, leading to negative impacts on digital financial inclusion. In a new ...
Medical Xpress / Machine-learning immune-system analysis study may hold clues to personalized medicine
How people with compromised immune systems respond to vaccines is an important area of immunological research. A study led by York University has found that not only could machine-learning models accurately pinpoint differences ...
Phys.org / Six years of field data show how climate and light shape early growth of abarco, informing reforestation in Colombia
A new study shows how climate and light conditions interaction affect the early growth in abarco, a highly valued tropical timber species, offering critical guidance for reforestation and sustainable forest management in ...
Phys.org / Large land predators were hunting big plant-eaters more than 280 million years ago, study finds
A study examining fossil evidence shows that large land predators were already hunting big plant-eating animals more than 280 million years ago. University of Toronto Mississauga researchers Jordan M. Young, Tea Maho, and ...
Phys.org / Researchers decode the welfare effects of pricing algorithms
The National Bureau of Economic Research has published a new working paper by economists Ali Shourideh (Carnegie Mellon University, Tepper School of Business), Maryam Farboodi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and ...
Tech Xplore / Deepfakes, job losses, opaque models: Exploring the dark side of AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the defining technologies of what economists and policymakers describe as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This is an era in which digital, physical, and biological systems ...
Phys.org / 'Old Mother Goose' challenges a 14-million-year lineage story in New Zealand
The discovery of a rare fossil goose in an ancient Central Otago lake shows the evolutionary history of Aotearoa New Zealand birds is much more dynamic than once thought, a University of Otago–Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka researcher ...
