Medical Xpress / Why eGoT gets better answers: Teaching AI to connect the dots across domains
Ever notice how chatbots often insist on making up an answer instead of admitting defeat? Like a student desperately scribbling nonsense to avoid handing in a blank page, large language models (LLMs) seem to live by the make-it-up-as-you-go ...
Phys.org / AI tools for predicting protein folding produce chemically impossible structures and need human oversight
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have found that today's leading artificial intelligence tools for predicting protein structures routinely generate results that are physically and chemically impossible, ...
Phys.org / Simple semiconductor films break light's front-back symmetry
Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back—like polarized sunglasses that work the same from either side. Cornell researchers have demonstrated a simple route to ...
Medical Xpress / New guideline on managing adult bronchiectasis
The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) has released a new clinical guideline on the management of adult bronchiectasis. Published in the journal CHEST, the guideline contains 13 evidence-based recommendations intended ...
Phys.org / Reenvisioning sexual health with perspectives from the Global South
Sexual and reproductive health has largely been shaped by perspectives from wealthier developed nations in the Global North. To correct this imbalance, public health experts call for centering Global South knowledge, lived ...
Phys.org / New quantum chip architecture could use built-in vibrations to link distant qubits
A new concept from Warwick researchers could help solve one of the biggest challenges to building large-scale quantum computers: enabling communication between vast numbers of quantum bits (qubits) over long distances across ...
Medical Xpress / Gene editing tool reduces Huntington's toxic protein fragments and symptoms in mice
A gene-editing tool designed to precisely rewrite the gene that causes Huntington's disease reduced toxic protein fragments and symptoms associated with the disease in mice, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...
Phys.org / Spain safari park animals grazed calmly amid 'terror' of fire
The bison carried on grazing peacefully as the flames approached, imperturbable despite the fires ravaging the land around their wildlife park west of Madrid.
Medical Xpress / Bioceramic-coated implant improves osteoporotic fracture healing through timed magnesium release
Seoul National University (SNU) College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Nathaniel S. Hwang, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, has developed a bioceramic fracture fixation ...
Phys.org / Twisted laser light distinguishes mirror-image molecules by their fragment counts
Many molecules exist in two mirror-image forms—like left and right hands—that look identical but can behave very differently, especially in biological systems and pharmaceuticals. Distinguishing between these enantiomers ...
Medical Xpress / How brain cells restore healthy growth and connections after a disease-causing genetic deletion
Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion. Instead of repairing the ...
Medical Xpress / Gut microbe's protective coating links intestinal colonization to lower inflammation
The human gut harbors more than 40 trillion bacteria assembled into complex communities collectively known as the gut microbiota, which is closely linked to human health and disease. Mediterraneibacter gnavus (formerly Ruminococcus ...
