Tech Xplore / Researchers develop AI agent technology to automate semiconductor design verification
A research team led by Hyun Oh Song, a professor in Seoul National University College of Engineering's Department of Computer Science and Engineering, in collaboration with Samsung AI Center, has developed "Rule2DRC," an ...
Phys.org / 'Narcissist' bosses are more likely to oppose work from home, studies show. But are they right?
Have you ever wondered why your boss wants you back in the office full-time, rather than allowing hybrid work, where you can combine work from home and in an office? A fascinating study just shed fresh light on this topic.
Phys.org / Faster quantum computers can learn from their own mistakes
Quantum computers promise to solve problems that would take even the fastest conventional supercomputers a vast amount of time, but the quantum information they store and process is extremely sensitive to even tiny disturbances ...
Phys.org / Asteroid with unexplained orbital shift turns out to be a 'dark comet'
Typically, astronomers identify comets by their distinct atmospheres, or comae, and their tails, which are created as the sun vaporizes a comet's ice. These features emit a glow when sunlight bounces off dust and water droplets. ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed bridge points the way to greener construction
Concrete is the most widely used building material on Earth, and producing it is one of the largest single sources of carbon emissions. One promising way to reduce its environmental footprint is to 3D-print concrete, laying ...
Phys.org / Crab-dug tunnels boost methane-eating microbes in coastal wetlands, study finds
Wetlands are a significant producer of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. Yet not all of it escapes into the atmosphere. One reason is crabs. A study published in the journal Environmental Science ...
Tech Xplore / Pocket-size AI: Powerful phones star at China show
Tech firms are racing to roll out advanced smartphones that use artificial intelligence to do everything from ordering food to composing messages with a simple voice command.
Phys.org / Move over quokkas—Rottnest's salt lake bacteria could be the island's next big claim to fame
Scientists at Murdoch University have read the full genetic code of bacteria from the salt lakes of Wadjemup (Rottnest Island), giving them their clearest picture yet of how these tiny organisms could be used to make biodegradable ...
Phys.org / On the hunt for Earth's first complex life
How life started on our own planet may not seem as interesting as finding evidence of life on Mars or the icy moons Europa or Enceladus. But the search for the first eukaryotes on Earth remains as important to astrobiology ...
Medical Xpress / A step toward lab‑grown sperm: Scientists turn stem cells into early sperm cells in a mini‑testis
About 9% of men of reproductive age in the United States experience fertility problems. One of the many causes of male infertility is a failure in germline development, the process by which embryonic cells develop into sperm ...
Phys.org / Researchers complete new assessments of vulnerable Southern Ocean species
Postdoctoral researcher Renato Borras-Chavez's area of study—pinnipeds in the Southern Ocean—often takes him far from the University of Rhode Island campus. Now, the researcher in Sarah Kienle's CEAL Lab is sharing more about ...
Medical Xpress / Newly identified MRI biomarkers reveal physical brain changes from cognitive training, study finds
A new neuroimaging study published in the journal Brain Imaging and Behavior provides some of the first evidence that strengthening your brain health through daily habits rewires its physical architecture.
