Phys.org / Louisiana's shrinking coast may offer world early guide to climate adaptation
A Tulane University-led team of interdisciplinary researchers says coastal Louisiana's climate-driven land loss and population shifts could position the state to become a global leader in planning for climate adaptation.
Phys.org / Cryo-EM imaging reveals how the body stops bleeding
For the first time, scientists at University of Leeds reveal a complex mechanism behind blood clotting. The findings, published in Science Advances, visualize a key component of blood clotting—platelet myosin—and how it is ...
Phys.org / Chemistry-aware AI can generate millions of plausible new molecules
Finding and developing new molecules is one of the great research endeavors of modern chemistry. From the development of new drugs to the creation of more sustainable materials, everything depends on finding new combinations ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning reveals two main Parkinson's types and five subgroups
A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that Parkinson's disease can be divided into distinct subtypes, helping explain why a single treatment does not work for all patients. Using a machine-learning-driven ...
Tech Xplore / Oyster cement: Scientists study shellfish to make stronger, faster-curing building material
Building upon the chemistry that oysters use in miles-long reefs, scientists have found a way to create cement that is stronger and cures faster. Jonathan Wilker, a professor of chemistry in Purdue University's College of ...
Medical Xpress / Cranberry juice may boost UTI antibiotics
More than 400 million people experience a urinary tract infection every year, and some epidemiological studies estimate that more than half of all women will develop at least one in their lifetime. Most UTIs are caused by ...
Phys.org / A targeted 'off switch' in a plant's egg cell speeds up the breeding process
An international research team led by the IPK Leibniz Institute has succeeded in generating haploids in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana very efficiently. This process involves degrading a specific protein in the centromere. ...
Tech Xplore / ChatGPT has a goblin problem. It's bigger than an AI quirk
Starting sometime in November, people who used ChatGPT began noticing some peculiar behavior: the AI chatbot would not shut up about goblins. So, OpenAI, the company behind the chatbot, began looking into it.
Phys.org / Troubled waters: Jakarta battles deadly, invasive suckerfish
Mounds of slimy carcasses pile up on a riverbank in Jakarta where authorities are fighting an uphill battle against a fast-breeding invasive fish flourishing in Java island's heavily polluted waterways.
Phys.org / Synchrotron X-rays uncover hidden protein binding sites, enabling two new functions
Using bright X-rays from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), researchers pioneered an innovative approach to designing proteins with targeted ...
Phys.org / Relamination: A mechanism that has been shaping continents for billions of years
An international team led by researchers from the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC) has identified a key mechanism that has shaped Earth's continents over billions of years. This mechanism is the deep re-lamination ...
Medical Xpress / New heart disease risk prediction tool validated globally
A tool developed by the American Heart Association (AHA), proven to accurately predict heart disease risk for Americans, can be applied to the global population, a new study led by NYU Langone Health shows.
