Phys.org / Nonrepeating photonic crystal may enable more tunable, reliable semiconductor lasers
Over the past two decades, photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) have shown promise as a type of advanced semiconductor laser useful in defense- and aerospace-related applications. Typically, these devices are ...
Phys.org / Australia needs more people who think like scientists—here's what that means
How we think and feel about science develops from an early age—and we never know where that early interest might take us.
Medical Xpress / Advanced genetic testing opens new treatment options for nearly one in three cancer patients, study finds
A new study from London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) shows that expanded genetic testing can help match cancer patients with more personalized treatment options, with nearly one in three found eligible ...
Phys.org / Social media analysis offers businesses a new way to forecast feature demand
Social media has become an important source of information for consumers making purchasing decisions, with prior research finding that more than 90% of consumers consult social media before making a purchase. For businesses, ...
Medical Xpress / Brain inflammation may cast a long dementia shadow in older survivors of encephalitis
Encephalitis is a serious condition in which an infection or autoimmune response triggers inflammation of the brain. The resulting swelling can disrupt normal brain function, causing neurological changes such as confusion, ...
Phys.org / Four more belugas arrive at Chicago aquarium from shuttered Canadian theme park
Four more belugas have arrived at a Chicago aquarium as part of a plan to move Canada's last remaining captive whales from a shuttered theme park to aquariums in the United States and Spain.
Phys.org / Paleontologists reconstruct forests of 56 million years ago with chilling parallels for our warming planet
If you want to know how rapidly pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere will affect future forest ecosystems, you have to look into the distant past. The researchers behind a new study published in Science have done just ...
Phys.org / Survey finds social work needs clearer ethical guidance for AI use
Much like the automobile a century earlier, generative artificial intelligence has arrived in society with significant concerns. Just as cities and towns learned that cars required limits governing their use and development, ...
Phys.org / UK children begin unsupervised outdoor play nearly a year later than their parents did, survey shows
Researchers have found that children are now nearly 11 when they first start playing outdoors without supervision. That's more than a year older than their parents' generation, with parents reporting they played outdoors ...
Phys.org / Is bird flu infecting humans? How would we know?
Bird flu is circulating among birds on the Australian mainland. So, with the confirmed number of detections growing, you may be wondering about the risk of birds infecting humans.
Tech Xplore / Physics-informed AI method speeds thermal energy storage design optimization
With intensifying climate change, decarbonizing the global building sector has become a key priority. A substantial portion of a building's energy demand comes from heating and cooling. Consequently, developing efficient ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable sensors and AI could monitor blood pressure in ICU
Wearable sensors coupled with AI can generate blood pressure readings nearly as accurately as the invasive and risky arterial lines relied on in intensive care units and operating rooms, new work by Johns Hopkins University ...
