Tech Xplore / AI prevents unstable material designs, cutting costs for chip and cooling applications
Today, anyone with a large enough artificial intelligence model can generate millions of new material designs in minutes. Unfortunately, that hasn't led to a huge leap in the number of new materials being used to improve ...
Tech Xplore / Amoeba-inspired method could enable energy-efficient hardware for complex optimization
Combinatorial optimization problems are ubiquitous, underpinning decision-making in a wide range of fields, including logistics, transportation, communication networks, drug discovery and materials science. However, these ...
Medical Xpress / Out of sync: How competing demands shape the cancer patient experience
Scientists are making progress in developing new cancer treatments, but a patient's experience with cancer is shaped by more than medicine. A new sociological study finds that conflicting medical, work and family timelines ...
Medical Xpress / Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo spreads to 2 new health zones with a total of 60 areas now affected
The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has spread to two new health zones in eastern Congo, with a total of 60 now affected, according to the latest government figures published on Friday.
Tech Xplore / Guns, drugs and car chases: GTA 6 preview lands on Netflix after leaks
Rockstar Games on Thursday launched, for the first time on Netflix, a preview of its hotly anticipated next installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, which will be released in November after a monthslong delay and recent ...
Medical Xpress / Can you slow the aging process? Study reveals which interventions might help
When Raghav Sehgal arrived at Yale as a graduate student several years ago, he wanted to explore the use of powerful computer science tools in cancer research. With an engineering background and a computational biology startup ...
Phys.org / Meteorite dust holds records of magnetism that may have helped form the sun
Around 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was little more than a giant ball of gas and dust. Over the next few million years, this "solar nebula" underwent a huge transformation, flattening into a disk of matter that ...
Phys.org / Supersized quantum sensors make faint photons easier to catch
Our everyday life is flooded with photons, the quantum building blocks of light. For cutting-edge technology, from quantum computing to deep-tissue imaging, detecting every single photon counts.
Tech Xplore / Using light to distinguish real from fake with hard-to-replicate 'artificial fingerprints'
Shine a light, and the real can be distinguished from the fake. KAIST researchers have developed a security technology that uses unique artificial fingerprints created by the random assembly of nanoparticles. Although extremely ...
Phys.org / Naked photobombing comet found in public image
Sometimes images are released before anyone realizes they have been photobombed, meaning something unexpected showed up in the background. A team of researchers found a naked photobombing comet in publicly available archival ...
Tech Xplore / Major security weaknesses found in leading open-weight LLMs
Safety protections built into some of the world's most widely used artificial intelligence (AI) models can be stripped away with alarming ease, according to a new international study.
Phys.org / Near-total lunar eclipse is coming up with the Americas in prime position
Now it's the moon's turn to pull a disappearing act. After being shut out of this month's total solar eclipse, the Americas will have the best seats in the celestial house when Earth's shadow briefly envelops the moon. Almost ...
