Phys.org / Quantum witness technique reveals spinons in quantum spin liquid candidate
Physicists at University College Cork have developed a new approach in the search for a quantum spin liquid, a long-sought state of quantum matter resembling a magnetic liquid whose quantum properties mean it never freezes. ...
Medical Xpress / Inexpensive drug should be used in most major surgeries to prevent blood transfusion, clinical trial finds
A landmark clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that tranexamic acid reduced transfusions across major surgeries without increasing the risk of dangerous blood clots. The trial was coordinated ...
Tech Xplore / Mathematical proof reveals why fixed AI guardrails can never block every jailbreak
Can we make artificial intelligence impervious to adversaries who want to twist the technology to nefarious ends? Though AI is among the newest of technologies, the answer to that question is nearly a century old.
Phys.org / DNA design unlocks nanometer-scale catalyst control for cleaner hydrogen production
The fixed idea that DNA is only a molecule that stores genetic information is being challenged. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that controls the chemical environment around catalysts at the nanometer scale ...
Phys.org / Acidic nanoparticles target Parkinson's at cellular source
Inside every human cell, a tiny structure called a lysosome acts like a recycling center, breaking down toxic waste, clearing damaged proteins and helping keep the cell functioning properly. When that recycling center stops ...
Tech Xplore / Despite the AI hype, some experts warn of a bubble—what happens if it pops?
In the last few years, the hype around artificial intelligence has become stratospheric. Riding a wave of venture capital, tech leaders promised us AI would revolutionize work, boost productivity and lead to incredible new ...
Tech Xplore / What confusing code does to developers: Brain and eye tracking reveal surprise response
How do software developers respond when they come across code they do not intuitively understand? Neuropsychologists have now explored this question by recording brain activity alongside eye movements. A team of psycholinguists ...
Dialog / A 170 km journey by a freshwater stingray challenges long-held conservation assumptions
Most sharks and rays inhabit the oceans, but a small proportion thrive in freshwater. Approximately 4% to 5% of all shark and ray species live in tropical and subtropical rivers around the world. Two main ecological strategies ...
Phys.org / Why plastic lingers: Water chemistry slows nature's cleanup
Scientists have long known that sunlight helps break down plastic. So, why do plastic products linger for decades and even centuries in rivers, lakes, and oceans—even when bathed in direct sunlight? Northwestern University ...
Phys.org / Tracking the Antarctic ice most at risk of breakup and melting
Antarctic sea ice plays a critical role in regulating Earth's climate. It reflects sunlight back into space, insulates the ocean from the atmosphere, and supports unique polar ecosystems.
Phys.org / Neutron star merger simulations gain new precision with AI-driven r-process heating
Using a novel simulation model based on machine learning, an international research team at GSI/FAIR has succeeded in gaining a deeper understanding of element formation in stellar events such as neutron star mergers. For ...
Phys.org / Koala population crash came before humans, genomic study reveals
A genomic study has reshaped our understanding of the evolutionary history of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), revealing the iconic Australian marsupial experienced a severe population decline around 100,000 years ago, ...
