Tech Xplore / Hybrid AI tool unmasks hidden digital abuse to transform forensic investigations
Researchers from the University of Huddersfield have developed a hybrid AI tool to detect patterns of psychological abuse, including coercive control, in a bid to transform digital forensic investigations and mental health ...
Tech Xplore / AI data centers need faster links: A mass-producible optical microchip could help
Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) present a novel component that enables very fast, economical, and reliable data transmission thanks to an advanced ...
Medical Xpress / Autoantibodies implicated as drivers of long COVID in new study
A growing body of evidence suggests that long COVID (or post-COVID syndrome), a condition affecting more than 10% of people after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, may be driven by the immune system turning against the body. Now, new ...
Phys.org / Scalable flow chemistry speeds deuteration of fatty acids with tunable isotope selectivity
The National Deuteration Facility has developed a capability to use a flow chemistry process to increase efficiency, increase production capacity and reduce decomposition in the synthesis of deuterated molecules.
Phys.org / Nanoparticles enable large-scale production of advanced cell therapies
Researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in China have developed a streamlined process that makes it easier to produce tiny therapeutic particles released by cells, called exosomes, which are being explored ...
Phys.org / Why some reefs recover faster than others—mathematical model spotlights coral recruitment patterns
Climate-driven disturbances such as marine heat waves are rapidly reducing coral cover and degrading reef ecosystems worldwide. Using a mathematical model, a research team led by Subhendu Chakraborty at the Leibniz Center ...
Phys.org / A solar system in the making? Two planets spotted forming in disk around young star
Astronomers have observed two planets forming in the disk around a young star named WISPIT 2. Having previously detected one planet, the team has now employed European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes to confirm the ...
Medical Xpress / Tumor DNA circulating in patients' blood after pre-surgery treatments predicts whether breast cancer will return
Fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream of patients with breast cancer can predict whether they are likely to relapse, especially when samples are taken after the patients have received treatments prior to surgery. ...
Phys.org / Stabilized hybrid photocatalyst boosts artificial photosynthesis efficiency
A hybrid photocatalyst system from Science Tokyo tackles an overlooked flaw in artificial photosynthesis to dramatically improve CO2-to-formate conversion. Unlike conventional designs where light degrades the molecular catalyst, ...
Phys.org / 'Coral houses' are dotted throughout the Pacific. Now, scientists know exactly when they were built
The Mangareva Islands are about 1,600 kilometers southeast of Tahiti in French Polynesia. They get their name (which means "floating mountains") from the way the sea spray breaking on the surrounding coral atolls, or motu, ...
Phys.org / Mathematical framework maps landscape of student knowledge via short quizzes
When we learn something new, that information does not exist in isolation. It integrates into the complex landscape of our knowledge, forging connections with existing ideas and opening up possibilities for new learning. ...
Medical Xpress / Study builds a seven-factor scale of play, based on children's own words
If you need good play to have a good childhood, then we need to know what good play looks like. But studies of play often start from an adult perspective, leaving out kids' perspectives. To overcome this, scientists surveyed ...
