Tech Xplore / Contrastive learning framework can detect blockchain-based smart Ponzi schemes
Blockchain technologies are digital systems that work by distributing copies of information across several computers, also referred to as nodes, all of which are connected to a common network. These technologies underpin ...
Medical Xpress / Immune cells in the brain help shape adolescent neural circuits
Making a smoothie, going for an evening walk, or having empathy for a loved one are all examples of executive functions that are controlled by the brain's frontal cortex. This area of the brain goes through profound change ...
Phys.org / Caterpillars actively suppress pain by striking a sphinx pose
When tobacco hornworm caterpillars feel pain, they don't wriggle or try to escape. Instead, according to the latest research, they dial down their pain response by adopting a posture known as the "sphinx" state, so called ...
Phys.org / How proteins bind to RNA: The dual mechanism of zinc fingers and disordered regions
RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), reports a new study from the Institute of Science, Tokyo, Japan.
Tech Xplore / Novel signal detector could significantly cut energy consumption in next-generation wireless communication networks
Cell-free (CF) MIMO networks are emerging as a key B5G/6G technology for improved connectivity, spectral efficiency, and service quality. A recent study proposes a novel CF-MIMO signal detector that can reduce energy consumption ...
Phys.org / Uniquely preserved artillery offers clues of European colonization
Lund University archaeologists have revealed details of late medieval artillery from the wreck of the royal Danish-Norwegian flagship, Gribshunden. The shipwreck is the only known example of its kind from the medieval period—as ...
Phys.org / Outrigger system traces brightest-ever radio burst to a nearby galaxy's single spiral arm
An international team of scientists, including Northwestern University astrophysicists, has spotted one of the brightest fast radio bursts (FRBs) ever recorded—and pinpointed its location with unprecedented precision.
Medical Xpress / Mini-organ models reveal hantavirus secrets, point to treatments
UCLA researchers have created miniature stem cell-based organoid models of human lungs, hearts and brains to study how hantaviruses—rare but often deadly viruses spread by rodents—infect the body. Hantaviruses were thrust ...
Phys.org / Inouye Solar Telescope delivers record-breaking images of solar flare and coronal loops
The highest-resolution images of a solar flare captured at the H-alpha wavelength (656.28 nm) ever captured may reshape how we understand the sun's magnetic architecture—and improve space weather forecasting.
Phys.org / Dynamic time warping-based framework traces fine particulate matter pollution cross-regional movement in China
A new study led by researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has for the first time mapped the long-term, large-scale transport pathways of PM2.5 pollution across ...
Tech Xplore / Pre-fatigue training technique doubles the performance of high-strength steel
A NIMS research team has discovered that the fatigue limit of steel is improved by prior cyclic deformation (fatigue) training. Based on this finding, the research team developed a novel pre-fatigue training technique, which ...
Phys.org / Microplastics are here, there and everywhere
They can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. They can be found within our cells, our organs and even our brains.
