Tech Xplore / Researchers find clue to solving the 'electrical bottleneck' in semiconductors
When the pathways through which electricity flows inside a semiconductor become blocked, device performance declines and power loss increases. A Korean research team has developed a new structure that could resolve this "electrical ...
Phys.org / Heavy traffic can turn flower-rich verges into bumblebee traps, study finds
Flower-rich road verges may attract hungry bumblebees, but at the same time, they can be dangerous for the buzzing insects—if traffic is too heavy. The new research from Lund University in Sweden examined the role roadsides ...
Phys.org / Metallic rutile oxides break the rules of cooling
Physicists have long puzzled over a strange contradiction inside a family of minerals called rutile oxides. These materials all share the same crystal structure—but while some of them, like titanium dioxide, are firmly insulating, ...
Phys.org / This rare British butterfly looks familiar, but its genome tells a very different story
The British swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon britannicus) is the U.K.'s only native swallowtail and its largest native butterfly. It's instantly recognizable by its striking light yellow-and-black wings, with twin tail-like ...
Medical Xpress / Keeping moms in the game: FIFA launches guide for pregnant and post-partum players
Soccer players who are pregnant or have recently given birth can kick off the season with more confidence, using a new FIFA tool developed in collaboration with a University of Alberta researcher. Two decision aids, one for ...
Phys.org / Ribosome-based gene circuit lets cells read six signals and trigger responses
The molecular machinery that normally builds proteins inside cells has now taken on a new role as a "switch." A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed a new 'RNA-based smart gene ...
Tech Xplore / True human-level AI may be forever out of reach, prominent computer scientist argues
Alan Turing, the father of theoretical computer science, made a proposal that has put AI development on a flawed path for three-quarters of a century, a prominent computer scientist has argued.
Tech Xplore / Ultra-fine bubbles tune drying ink droplets without chemical additives
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University studying inkjet printing have introduced ultra-fine bubbles into ink droplets and showed that their drying behavior can be tuned without additives. They discovered that the shape ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop AI technology to detect early warning signs of cerebrovascular disease at home
Cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious aftereffects if treatment is delayed, but it is difficult to detect before symptoms appear. KAIST researchers have developed an AI technology that analyzes real-life daily activity ...
Medical Xpress / Novel technology could aid targeted lung cancer treatment
Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques. The technology was able to identify specific genetic changes ...
Phys.org / Neil the seal is more than a viral animal. He's become a global folk hero
I am one of Hobart's many residents who traveled to a nearby beach to witness Neil the seal—an animal that has been receiving global attention for his wild personality and humorous antics.
Phys.org / How Fourth of July celebrations and the national political mood may shape psychedelic experiences
Psychedelic drugs are known to make people highly sensitive to their surroundings. In other words, a user's mindset and immediate environment heavily shape the entire trippy experience. In a study published in the journal ...
