Phys.org / Wear it Purple Day is about more than a T‑shirt
Today is Wear it Purple Day—when students and staff at high schools and universities are invited to wear purple clothing to recognize and celebrate gender- and sexuality-diverse (GSD) young people. Workplaces are also encouraged ...
Tech Xplore / Information encoded in a beam of light can survive real-world atmospheric turbulence
Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) and the University of Bordeaux in France have demonstrated a new way to send information through the atmosphere without correcting for the distortions that normally ...
Phys.org / Lunar soil reads as a cosmic time capsule for exploding stars
When a star reaches its final stages of life, it ends in a bright, powerful explosion called a supernova and scatters material across the universe. A new study led by a University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researcher has discovered ...
Phys.org / Developing a genetic toolkit for manipulating abundant intestinal microbes
Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have developed a set of molecular tools to regulate the activity of specific genes in one of the most common classes of intestinal bacteria. The ability to genetically manipulate these ...
Medical Xpress / Neural implant in Korea remotely controlled from the United States
A researcher in Chicago remotely controls a miniaturized brain implant in Daejeon, Korea—over the internet. Korean researchers have developed a wireless device that can deliver drugs and light to precisely modulate targeted ...
Phys.org / Kicking goals for junior sport culture
New research on improving behavior in youth sports calls for a move beyond trying to fix individual parents' and coaches' behavior to instead address the sporting culture in which behavior is learned, reinforced and normalized.
Tech Xplore / Amoeba-inspired method could enable energy-efficient hardware for complex optimization
Combinatorial optimization problems are ubiquitous, underpinning decision-making in a wide range of fields, including logistics, transportation, communication networks, drug discovery and materials science. However, these ...
Tech Xplore / AI prevents unstable material designs, cutting costs for chip and cooling applications
Today, anyone with a large enough artificial intelligence model can generate millions of new material designs in minutes. Unfortunately, that hasn't led to a huge leap in the number of new materials being used to improve ...
Phys.org / Could 12 inches of rain hit New York City? AI maps plausible rare storms
Can a city's seawall stand up to a blockbuster storm? Will a region's power grid hold against record-breaking heat? And can a town's firefighting resources contain a major wildfire?
Tech Xplore / Using light to distinguish real from fake with hard-to-replicate 'artificial fingerprints'
Shine a light, and the real can be distinguished from the fake. KAIST researchers have developed a security technology that uses unique artificial fingerprints created by the random assembly of nanoparticles. Although extremely ...
Medical Xpress / How patients write portal messages may affect whether doctors respond
Portal messages have become a routine way for patients to communicate with their health care teams. But a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health suggests that how patients write those messages ...
Medical Xpress / Why glaucoma risk may be missed by day: Nighttime eye-pressure pathway revealed
Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes progressive damage to the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. One major risk factor is an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), or pressure inside the eye. This pressure fluctuates ...
