Phys.org / Scientists tackle single-cell data's reliability crisis with new tool 'scICE'
The ability to analyze gene expression at the single-cell level—known as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)—has transformed life sciences, driving discoveries across immunology, oncology, and developmental biology. ...
Tech Xplore / Young children outperform state-of-the-art AI in visual object recognition
As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly grows—a recent UN Trade and Development report projects the global AI market soaring to $4.8 trillion by 2033—the technology seems equipped to handle any task. Driving cars. Analyzing ...
Phys.org / New interstellar comet will keep a safe distance from Earth, NASA says
NASA has discovered an interstellar comet that's wandered into our backyard.
Medical Xpress / Alveolar macrophage cell surface receptor TREM2 promotes lung fibrosis, study shows
Lung macrophages play a pivotal role in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Two types of macrophages—the white blood cells that defend the body by killing microbes, removing dead cells and stimulating immune responses—are ...
Phys.org / Machine learning outpaces supercomputers for simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion
Researchers have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. This approach could help us understand the origins of our own galaxy, ...
Phys.org / Loofah-like polymer can filter viruses while adapting flexibility with pH changes
Porous materials have a wide range of applications due to their capacity to act as filters, or lightweight structural materials that use less material than a solid substance. Researchers, including those from the University ...
Phys.org / Heaviest tin isotopes provide insights into element synthesis
An international team of researchers, led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has studied r-process nucleosynthesis in measurements conducted at the Canadian research center TRIUMF in Vancouver. At the center ...
Phys.org / New protein-based system streamlines enzyme reuse for plastic recycling
Enzymatic recycling has gained traction in recent years as a greener alternative to traditional plastic recycling techniques, which often rely on energy-intensive mechanical or chemical processes. Enzymes can selectively ...
Medical Xpress / Why we need to take concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy more seriously
Concussion in sport continues to make headlines, whether it be class actions, young men flocking to the highly violent "RunIt" activity or debate about whether Australian rules football should remove the "bump" once and for ...
Phys.org / Unique method enables simulation of error-correctable quantum computers
Quantum computers still face a major hurdle on their pathway to practical use cases: their limited ability to correct the arising computational errors. To develop truly reliable quantum computers, researchers must be able ...
Phys.org / How cucumbers got longer, and why it's a big deal for farming
Cucumbers, a summer staple of salads and sandwiches, are a valuable commercial crop. They also have a less well-known role as valuable model plants which are helping researchers to extend the boundaries of genomic discovery.
Phys.org / Shape-shifting particles allow temperature control over fluid flow and stiffness
Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a simple change in temperature. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular ...
