Phys.org / After Rome: Genomic insights from southern Germany reveal the formation of Central European societies
Many of today's villages and towns in Central Europe trace their origins to settlements that emerged after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, often on former Roman territory or in the immediate vicinity of the Limes, ...
Phys.org / Perseverance and Curiosity panoramas reveal dual sides of Mars
NASA's Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have captured two 360-degree landscapes that highlight how the missions are revealing details of the Red Planet's formation, watery past, and potential for life. Located 2,345 miles ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain rapidly switches between internal and external processing
A team led by Professor Ed X. Wu and Dr. Alex T. L. Leong has achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how the brain processes information through large-scale network changes. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, ...
Phys.org / Beer waste may become sunscreen ingredient after spent hops show promising UV protection
Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil revealed that hops (Humulus lupulus L.) industrial waste from the brewing industry is a viable option for sunscreen formulation production. The multidisciplinary ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted maternal screening could prevent rare, deadly leukemia in the US
A deadly form of leukemia may be stopped before it ever develops by introducing targeted maternal screening in the United States, according to new research. The national study, led by physician-scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive ...
Phys.org / Atomic-column imaging uncovers hidden magnetic structures in antiferromagnets
Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external magnetic interference, making them ideal for high-speed, high-density spintronic devices. However, ...
Tech Xplore / Evolving AI may arrive before AGI and create hard-to-control risks
Evolutionary biology holds clues for the future of AI, argue researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Eötvös Loránd University, and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. In a new ...
Tech Xplore / Computer-designed thermoelectric generator achieves more than 8-fold improvement in efficiency
A thermoelectric generator with a shape that no human designer would likely have imagined has now been created by a computer—and it performs more than eight times better than conventional designs. Rather than relying on intuition ...
Phys.org / A new way to plan trajectories to asteroids
There are tens of thousands of near-Earth objects (NEOs) that represent some of the most easily accessible resources in the solar system. Planning trajectories to rendezvous with these miniature worlds is notoriously difficult, ...
Medical Xpress / Epilepsy 'brain blips' can be predicted a full second early with neuron-level probes
Epilepsy is best known for seizures, but many people with the condition also experience much more frequent and subtler disruptions. These brief bursts of abnormal brain activity, called interictal epileptiform discharges ...
Science X / Electrochemistry captures coffee's taste, powering a more consistent cup
It takes a surprising amount of work to keep coffee consistent cup to cup. An electrifying new approach from University of Oregon researchers could make the task easier. They've discovered a way to measure the flavor profile ...
Medical Xpress / Swimming beats running for strengthening the heart, study finds
A study conducted on an animal model by researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil demonstrated that swimming is more effective than running in promoting healthy heart growth and improving the ...
