Medical Xpress / Small molecule could slow or stop progress of Parkinson's disease and related brain disorders, not just treat symptoms
A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi and the University of Denver has identified a promising small molecule that could help slow or halt the progression of serious brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, offering ...
Phys.org / Impacts from meteors may have helped start life on Earth by creating hydrothermal vents
Meteor impacts may have helped spark life on Earth, creating hot, chemical-rich environments where the first living cells could take shape, according to research integrated by a recent Rutgers University graduate. Shea Cinquemani, ...
Phys.org / Spain rethinks how to turn tide against beach erosion
Every winter, storms wipe out swaths of the picturesque Spanish coast, undoing summer reconstruction work and threatening the foundations of the country's vital tourism industry.
Tech Xplore / Lab tests find Yankees' torpedo bat matches standard bat for power
The New York Yankees took the baseball world by storm with the newly designed torpedo bat last year, but the revolutionary design has ended up being no better than a standard bat for hitting the ball out of the park. In the ...
Phys.org / Racetrack-shaped lasers developed for bright, stable frequency combs
A new, miniature laser source developed by applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) could soon pack the power of ...
Phys.org / Software package makes gene regulation easier to study—and tweak
Understanding how genes are switched on and off in specific cell types remains one of biology's central challenges. While AI has made major progress in decoding the regulatory logic of DNA, applying these approaches across ...
Tech Xplore / Fair decisions, clear reasons: Creating fuzzy AI with fairness built in from the start
Although AI is not intentionally biased, it can inherit biases from the data fed into it, learning and repeating them until the system becomes inherently unfair. This is complicated by the problem of identifying where the ...
Phys.org / Graphene 'nano-aquariums' capture atomic-resolution videos of gold atoms in solvents
A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first technique capable of capturing atomic‑resolution videos of individual gold atoms 'dancing' across a ...
Tech Xplore / Chip-scale light technology could power faster AI and data center communications
Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. ...
Tech Xplore / Vibrations in your skull may be your next password
A team led by Rutgers University researchers has developed a security system that could change how people log in to virtual and augmented reality platforms by eliminating passwords, personal identification numbers and eye ...
Phys.org / Next-generation optical sensor can read photon spin across UV-to-infrared wavelengths
A research team led by Professor Jiwoong Yang of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST has developed next-generation optical sensor technology capable of precisely detecting not only the intensity and ...
Phys.org / New microporous aerogel uses van der Waals forces for flexible, moldable shaping
Porous materials are widely used for gas storage, separation, catalysis, and environmental purification. Their functionality arises from nanoscale pores that allow molecules to be selectively captured or transported. However, ...
