Phys.org / Living together with differences: Mathematical model shows how to reduce social friction without forcing consensus
Opinion polarization is often considered as the primary driver of social friction, leading to exhaustive efforts to force a consensus. However, new research suggests a more pragmatic goal: reducing the friction of disagreement ...
Phys.org / 9/11 WTC Health Program workforce cut by 25% under Kennedy as patient count rises, advocates say
The staff running the federal World Trade Center Health Program has been cut by 25% as the number of sick 9/11 survivors the group treats is expected to increase by 10,000 this year, the Daily News has learned.
Phys.org / Two-step genome editing enables creation of full-length humanized mouse models
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory landscapes often diverge, ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop biodegradable, self-powered electrical stimulator for muscle repair
Severe skeletal muscle injury, especially volumetric muscle loss, remains difficult to treat because effective regeneration requires safe, effective, and sustained intervention. Addressing this long-standing challenge, a ...
Phys.org / Mount Fuji's unique clouds: Research provides insights into frequency and formation conditions
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba conducted a three-year observational study (January 2019–December 2021) using a network of live cameras to monitor characteristic clouds around Mount Fuji.
Tech Xplore / Robot learns to lip sync by watching YouTube
Almost half of our attention during face-to-face conversation focuses on lip motion. Yet, robots still struggle to move their lips correctly. Even the most advanced humanoids make little more than muppet mouth gestures—if ...
Phys.org / Proba-3 mission captures rare solar prominence eruptions in sun's inner corona
The sun's inner corona, the hottest part of our star's atmosphere, appears faint yellow in a time-lapse made from images taken by the ASPIICS coronagraph aboard Proba-3.
Phys.org / Study advances the global understanding of human attachment and emotional development
Dr. Kazuko Behrens, Professor and Coordinator of Psychology at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, has published two major peer-reviewed studies that advance the global understanding of human attachment and emotional development. ...
Phys.org / Detecting single-electron qubits: Microwaves could probe quantum states above liquid helium
One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above liquid helium. But it wasn't clear how data in this form could be read easily.
Phys.org / Protostars carve out homes in the Orion Molecular Cloud
Young stars need time to grow into their final masses before they begin fusing lighter elements into heavier elements as main-sequence stars. They can spend hundreds of thousands of years as protostars, when they're still ...
Tech Xplore / AI can make the dead talk—why this doesn't comfort us
For as long as humans have buried their dead, they've dreamed of keeping them close. The ancient Fayum portraits—those stunningly lifelike images wrapped in Egyptian mummies—captured faces meant to remain present even ...
Medical Xpress / 58% of patients affected by 2022 mpox outbreak report lasting physical symptoms
A cohort study of over 300 adults either diagnosed with mpox between May 2022 to January 2023 (post-MPX) or who were at risk but never infected (no-MPX) found that more than half of those diagnosed with mpox during the 2022 ...
