Tech Xplore / Silicon oscillators solve computer problems that would take thousands of years using semiconductors
In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, a new approach has emerged for solving combinatorial optimization problems, which involves finding the most efficient solution among many possible options and can otherwise ...
Phys.org / Non-rotating early galaxy is a surprise to astronomers
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made a surprising discovery about a galaxy long, long ago and far, far away: It isn't rotating. That's something only seen in the most massive, mature galaxies that are ...
Tech Xplore / Soft layers near cracks boost strength and toughness in bioinspired composites
Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed bioinspired composites that mimic bone and bamboo structures to improve strength and toughness simultaneously. Using artificial intelligence, simulations, and 3D printing, ...
Phys.org / A persistent quantum computing error finally explained
Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even when they have built-in defenses. For all their advanced hardware, superconducting quantum computers ...
Medical Xpress / After weight loss, the body keeps pulling back—and this study shows how hard
Weight that was regained after it had been lost may be the result of persistent, biologically driven hunger, according to a study led by a UT Southwestern Medical Center researcher. The study's findings appear to support ...
Medical Xpress / Hantavirus: confirmed cases by nationality
Here is a roundup of which countries have confirmed or probable cases of nationals infected by hantavirus after the outbreak on the cruise ship MV Hondius, according to the World Health Organization.
Phys.org / What happens when scientists trust AI more than colleagues?
Artificial intelligence has crossed a threshold in the modern workplace. It is being used for everything from helping employees manage schedules to supporting financial forecasts. A similar shift is now unfolding inside research ...
Phys.org / Katalyst wraps testing at NASA Goddard for Swift boost mission
A daring mission to lift NASA's sinking Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is now one step closer to launch this June. On May 4, Katalyst Space Technologies completed environmental tests of its LINK robotic servicing spacecraft ...
Medical Xpress / Smartwatches and GPS devices show promise for tracking environmental impacts on health in real time
As climate change drives more frequent extreme heat and worsening air pollution, researchers are seeking better ways to understand how these exposures affect health in real time. A new pilot study led by researchers at The ...
Phys.org / New catalyst unlocks carbon-free ammonia heat for steel, cement and chemicals
A single-atom platinum catalyst lights ammonia at 200 °C and keeps it burning steadily at 1,100 °C with low NOx, generating high-grade, carbon-free heat for steel, cement and chemicals.
Tech Xplore / Scaling carbon electrolysis means solving heat, pressure and flow, commentary says
Electrolysis can resemble a modern version of alchemy. Start with one compound, run it through an electrochemical process and end up with an entirely different mix of chemicals. One can't turn straw into gold, but humans ...
Phys.org / Why are mountain forests in Mexico and Central America hotspots for oak trees? Study shows most definitive answer yet
The mountains of Mexico and Central America harbor some of the greatest biodiversity of oak trees worldwide, and a landmark study conducted by The Morton Arboretum with U.S. and Mexican collaborators provides the most definitive ...
