Tech Xplore / Turning surroundings into a 'virtual screen' could help machines see better in 3D
Imagine navigating a city street during rush hour—cars and bikes zipping by, pedestrians hustling down a crowded sidewalk, your eyes adjusting to the shop windows' glare in one moment and a dark underpass the next. Our brain, ...
Phys.org / Fertilizer: The forgotten history linking the agricultural commodity and empire in wartime
Fertilizers are not just an agricultural input: they are a strategic resource hidden at the center of geopolitical conflict. The US and Israel's war on Iran and the related disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz ...
Medical Xpress / Exercising in the open air is the best ally to combat winter vitamin D deficiency, study says
Vitamin D is important for the body to function properly: it balances the immune system, helps to keep bones healthy and benefits muscle regeneration. Yet, 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient. This is the case ...
Phys.org / Bioengineers condense protein engineering and testing to a single day
Proteins are critical to life—and to industry. There are countless proteins that could be engineered to treat and even cure serious diseases and cellular dysfunctions. Industrial applications are similarly promising, with ...
Phys.org / The worst climate future is less likely, but the best one is slipping away, scientists say
Scientists are jettisoning their worst and best case scenarios for a warming world as no longer plausible. That shows how modest gains in the fight to curb climate change have dialed back the most catastrophic of future heating ...
Phys.org / Nondestructive DNA sampling reveals 1,300 years of secrets in historic parchments
Researchers have demonstrated a nondestructive way to collect cellular material from historical parchment manuscripts, allowing them to conduct genetic analyses that offer new insights into everything from trade routes to ...
Medical Xpress / Novel combination therapy could reduce leukemia relapse rate, extending window for bone marrow transplants
A research team from the Department of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has developed a novel combination therapy that significantly improves treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Data-driven biomaterials steer pancreatic cancer organoids into new cell states
Understanding and controlling how cancer cells transition between different states remains a critical challenge in tumor biology. In a recent publication in Advanced Materials, a team from the Leibniz Institute of Polymer ...
Phys.org / Behold the neuron, a complicated cell with a simple mission
Neurons, the uber-connected nerve cells that act as a main switchboard for the brain, are central to some incredibly complicated processes. They make it possible to think, walk, speak, and breathe. They even have built-in ...
Phys.org / Study of Rwandan young adults highlights gaps in digital financial literacy
Africa has the world's youngest population, and many young adults rely on informal or temporary employment, making digital financial literacy (DFL) critical for long-term financial resilience and sustainable economic development. ...
Phys.org / AI can design cities, but can it understand what matters to people? 10 ways to keep humans in control
Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new content—like text, images, or ideas—by learning patterns from existing data. GenAI, particularly through large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT ...
Phys.org / Research team awakens 'hidden oxygen' to produce green hydrogen
A joint research team led by Professor Hyung Mo Jeong from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) and Professor Ji Hoon Lee from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Kyungpook ...
