Phys.org / Quantum sensor overcomes major obstacle in search for dark matter and gravitational waves
A prototype quantum sensor developed by researchers at Imperial has demonstrated for the first time that a key principle behind next-generation quantum detectors can work under realistic conditions.
Tech Xplore / Hollywood powerhouses bring AI fight to Europe
Cate Blanchett brought Hollywood star power to Brussels on Tuesday as she launched a free tool to give people the right to decide how their image can be used by AI firms.
Phys.org / Heat stress exposure climbed from 16% to 22% worldwide over 50 years, study shows
The number of people exposed to dangerous heat stress worldwide has risen sharply over the past half-century, propelled by climate change, according to a study released Monday as Europe sweltered through a punishing heat ...
Medical Xpress / Quantum-inspired AI could tailor patients' cancer treatment to their entire molecular background
For a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma—the most common infant cancer, occurring when early nerve cells grow out of control—the path to treatment isn't simple. Some types of neuroblastoma resolve on their own, while others ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover ancient neurons that control attention
Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and directing focus. The discovery of these neurons in mice by Johns Hopkins University researchers, in ...
Phys.org / High-severity fires burn 30 times more acreage than 40 years ago, researchers find
Forest fires now burn 10 times more acreage annually than in 1985, while wildfire severity has gotten even worse. In California, 30 times more acreage burned from high-severity, forest-killing fires, according to new UCLA ...
Phys.org / 'Super fungi' offer greener path to recovery of critical minerals
A "superpowered" fungus engineered at The University of Queensland could be used to extract critical minerals from toxic mining waste while also helping to remediate sites. Environmental engineers at UQ's new Biosustainability ...
Phys.org / CRISPR safety check evaluates intended and unintended mutations
A team of researchers led by Professor Akitsu Hotta (Department of Clinical Application) developed a comprehensive framework that combines computational prediction, experimental validation and whole-genome analysis to evaluate ...
Phys.org / Restoring African landscapes with indigenous food-bearing trees
Deforestation is a major problem across Africa. It is widely recognized that deforestation harms biodiversity, but tree loss also harms dietary quality, as nutritious fruits, nuts, seeds and leaves disappear from the landscape. ...
Medical Xpress / Ménière's disease may begin early in inner ear development
By analyzing genetic data from nearly 2 million people, researchers have unlocked a new scientific understanding of Ménière's disease, a chronic and often debilitating inner ear disorder. A team from the Perelman School of ...
Tech Xplore / AI advertising can deliver relevant content without spying on users' internet behaviors
The idea that digital advertising depends on tracking users across websites has become a defining feature of the online economy. New research from the University of Kansas has found that artificial intelligence technology ...
Phys.org / Five phases of localization physics observed in a single quantum system
Physicists in China have observed five phases in localization physics within a single quantum system. Using an advanced photonic platform, the team, led by Yucheng Wang and Jingyun Fan at the Southern University of Science ...
