Tech Xplore / AI extracts hidden material rules from microscopic data to predict large-scale behavior
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed artificial intelligence (AI) methods that learn the large-scale behavior of complex materials from microscopic data. By automatically identifying ...
Phys.org / Marine animals first colonized empty seashells about 470 million years ago
An international study led by researchers from the University of Tartu shows that approximately 470 million years ago, a significant ecological change took place in the world's oceans: For the first time, the interiors of ...
Phys.org / Simple circuit brings topological insulators closer to practical electrical measurement standards
Researchers at the University of Würzburg have succeeded in detecting exceptionally robust electrical transport in a topological insulator. This could lead to new metrological applications. The work is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Students unearth rare, centuries-old pot at Florida Spanish mission site
Some 400 years ago, a member of the Indigenous Potano-Timucua tribe scooped up some clay and carefully molded it into a modest vessel, small enough to rest in the palm of their hand. You can imagine their fingers pressing ...
Phys.org / How insect submariners survive the depths without imploding
Deep-diving insect larvae are challenging a long-held idea about why there are almost no insects in the ocean, thanks to sturdy air sacs. In Lake Malawi in East Africa, billions of lake fly larvae (Chaoborus edulis) make ...
Tech Xplore / AI catches up with humans to score 100% at top math contest
A perfect score at the world's most prestigious math contest used to be the preserve of a handful of bright young minds each year, but for the first time, artificial intelligence has also earned a perfect score.
Medical Xpress / Druggable target that makes metastatic cancer cells easier to kill identified
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch that helps determine whether cancer cells remain soft and difficult to destroy or become stiff enough for the immune system to attack.
Phys.org / Global map reveals mining's uneven toll on forests and biodiversity
A new study led by Japanese researchers from Tohoku University and the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) reveals that some of the minerals most essential for green technologies may have a significant negative ...
Medical Xpress / Photo-based calorie-tracking apps may underestimate energy in meals
Thanks to advances in AI, popular calorie-tracking apps can now use a photo of a meal to estimate the nutritional content of what you're eating. Although these apps are convenient, a new study found that four photo-based ...
Medical Xpress / The next skincare revolution could start with your immune system
Moisturizers, sunscreens and anti-aging creams are usually sold on familiar promises: to keep water in the skin, strengthen its protective barrier, protect against sun damage or reduce visible signs of aging. These functions ...
Medical Xpress / A mother's devotion to newborns begins in the brain, study suggests
New research has found that a hormone is responsible for making mothers' interactions with newborns feel rewarding rather than just necessary. The University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka study, published in Science Advances, ...
Tech Xplore / New York's noisy food carts go electric in clean air trial
Walk around New York and you'll likely hear the chugging of gasoline generators powering the city's tens of thousands of food carts. But not William Arevalo's.
