Tech Xplore / Study finds lower emissions from higher-ethanol gasoline
California residents will soon get some price relief at the pump and reductions in harmful vehicle emissions, thanks in part to a landmark UC Riverside vehicle emissions study.
Tech Xplore / Visualizing the internal structure behind AI decision-making
Although deep learning–based image recognition technology is rapidly advancing, it still remains difficult to clearly explain the criteria AI uses internally to observe and judge images. In particular, technologies that ...
Phys.org / Researchers develop novel bathymetric framework for high-accuracy shallow-water mapping
Shallow seas serve as critical transition zones connecting land and the deep ocean, supplying essential resources for navigation, fisheries, energy exploration, and island reef development. Accurate bathymetric data form ...
Phys.org / Oceanographers present conceptual framework to determine what happens to carbon as it sinks through the ocean
Florida State University oceanographers have discovered a significant connection between small-scale microbial processes and ecosystem-wide dynamics, offering new insights into the mechanisms driving marine carbon storage.
Phys.org / Fossil fuel emissions accelerate winter rainfall changes across Europe by 23 years
New study reveals burning of fossil fuels is accelerating winter rainfall changes in the UK and Europe, almost 25 years sooner than expected.
Phys.org / Scientists debut a generative AI model that could create molecules addressing hard-to-treat diseases
More than 300 people across academia and industry spilled into an auditorium to attend a BoltzGen seminar on Thursday, Oct. 30, hosted by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (MIT Jameel Clinic). Headlining ...
Phys.org / Mapping our deep-rooted relationship with medicinal plants
Long before modern pharmaceuticals, our ancestors turned to plants to find cures for ailments from infections to parasites to fevers. A new study by Harvard researchers reveals the deep roots of that relationship: Several ...
Phys.org / Contrails are a major driver of aviation's climate impact, study shows
Aviation's climate impact extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions. A new international study, involving researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, reveals that contrails can represent ...
Medical Xpress / Virtual clinical trial suggests psychedelics may boost brain activity in coma patients
Researchers from the University of Liège and international collaborators developed a "virtual clinical trial" exploring a unique pharmacological treatment in patients who do not fully regain consciousness after a coma. The ...
Tech Xplore / Why the long interface? AI systems don't 'get' the joke, research reveals
Powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems, like ChatGPT and Gemini, simulate understanding of comedy wordplay, but never really "get the joke," a new study suggests.
Phys.org / Record-setting charge mobility in germanium-silicon material points to energy-saving quantum chips
Most modern semiconductors are fabricated of or on silicon (Si), but as devices get smaller and denser, they dissipate more power and, as a result, are reaching their physical limits. Germanium (Ge)—once used in the first ...
Medical Xpress / Therapeutic climbing lifts mood and sharpens focus for inpatients with depression, anxiety and OCD
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and Schoen Clinic Roseneck report that structured therapeutic climbing sessions were experienced as emotionally lifting, mentally focusing, socially connecting, and physically strengthening ...
