Medical Xpress / From field to lab: Study reveals how people with vision loss judge approaching vehicles
Patricia DeLucia has spent decades studying something many of us never think about: judgments about collisions that are crucial for safety. But the roots of her research stretch back to her childhood, long before she became ...
Phys.org / Nanotyrannus was not a juvenile T. rex, new study confirms
For decades, paleontologists argued over the lone skull used to establish the distinct species Nanotyrannus. Was it truly a separate species or simply a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex? A new paper published in Science has definitively ...
Tech Xplore / Open-source framework enables addition of AI to software without prompt engineering
Developers can now integrate large language models directly into their existing software using a single line of code, with no manual prompt engineering required. The open-source framework, known as byLLM, automatically generates ...
Phys.org / People swear on social media more with acquaintances than with friends—analysis can help detect fake profiles
Americans use the f-word more frequently on social media than Australians or Britons, but Australians are more creative in its use. The f-word is rarely used in social networks of fewer than 15 people, and people tend to ...
Phys.org / Sick ant pupae emit chemical signals to prompt their own destruction
Sick young ants release a smell to tell worker ants to destroy them to protect the colony from infection, scientists said Tuesday, adding that queens do not seem to commit this act of self-sacrifice.
Phys.org / Historical geography helps researchers solve 2,700-year old eclipse mystery
An international team of researchers has used knowledge of historical geography to reexamine the earliest datable total solar eclipse record known to the scientific community, enabling accurate measurements of Earth's variable ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers uncover the earliest stages of human placenta formation
A gene that turns on very early in embryonic development could be key to the formation of the placenta, which provides the developing fetus with what it needs to thrive during gestation.
Phys.org / It's important for criminal sentences, but how do we know if someone's remorseful?
The story lines of every episode of legal TV dramas, from Law & Order to Perry Mason, revolve around five key narrative moments: the crime, the arrest, the plea, the verdict, and the offender's emotional response to what ...

Higher nighttime temperatures are linked to shorter sleep times and lower sleep quality, especially for people with chronic health conditions, lower socioeconomic status, or those living on the West Coast, according to a ...
Tech Xplore / Aluminum nitride transistor advances next-gen RF electronics
Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are engineered, while also addressing supply chain vulnerabilities for a critical semiconductor material.
Phys.org / The bacteria that won't wake up: NASA discovers new bacteria 'playing dead'
New research conducted on a NASA-discovered bacterium shows the microbe is capable of entering an extreme dormant state, essentially "playing dead" to survive in some of the cleanest environments on Earth.
Medical Xpress / Antibody therapy eradicates traces of multiple myeloma in preliminary trial
Treatment with an immune and cancer cell-targeting antibody therapy eradicates residual traces of the blood cell cancer multiple myeloma, according to interim results from a clinical trial conducted by researchers at Sylvester ...
