Tech Xplore / Ferroelectric memory enables one chip to sample randomness and compute for generative AI
For the first time, a research team has demonstrated an artificial intelligence semiconductor technology that integrates the core functions of generative AI into a single device platform based on ferroelectric memory. This ...
Tech Xplore / China's EV boom shifts power emissions to poorer cities, limiting climate gains
The carbon-reduction benefits of electric vehicles vary across cities in China, as richer cities can transfer much of their carbon emissions from power generation to less developed cities, burdening them with additional costs, ...
Phys.org / Scientists catch classical space-time crystals moving like Majorana quasiparticles
A research team from Hiroshima University, the University of Colorado, and other collaborators have demonstrated that space-time crystals—exotic structures that, under external drive, loop endlessly through both space and ...
Phys.org / Sicily remained a medieval melting pot despite major political and religious upheavals, ancient DNA reveals
Sicilian populations have been genetically diverse for many centuries, and they have remained that way even through major regime changes and religious transitions, according to a study published in PLOS One by Aurore Monnereau ...
Tech Xplore / Swiss nuclear plant shut down due to heat wave
The reactors at Europe's oldest nuclear plant were shut down Friday, its Swiss operator said, after the heat wave roasting Europe sent temperatures soaring in the river used for cooling.
Phys.org / New insight into how cells move copper out of the mitochondrial matrix could guide novel treatments
Copper is essential for life. Our cells need the metal to make energy and stay healthy, but if it is in the wrong place or present in excess, copper can be deadly. Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists have identified a ...
Phys.org / AI reads 3D tooth microwear to reconstruct diets of early human ancestors
The study of dental microwear allows the analysis of the microscopic marks that foods leave on the surface of tooth enamel during mastication. In paleoanthropology, this methodology helps reconstruct the diet of fossil primates ...
Phys.org / Long-dismissed gas emerges as a hidden driver of urban air pollution
Researchers from Tampere University and the University of Helsinki have identified an unexpected chemical process that may influence the formation of air pollution particles in urban environments. The study shows that nitric ...
Phys.org / Solid-state material turns visible light into high-energy UV at sunlight intensity, expanding solar energy potential
Two cups of warm water don't make one cup of boiling water. But in the quantum world, multiple low-energy photons can combine to produce a single, higher-energy photon.
Phys.org / Does the Netherlands feed the world? Study challenges a familiar view of Dutch agriculture
The Netherlands is a major agricultural exporter. But look beyond euros to land, animal feed, calories and protein, and a different picture emerges. In a study published in Nature Food, researchers at Wageningen University ...
Medical Xpress / How high cholesterol dismantles the liver's defenses—and how a new drug could combat it
Cholesterol-related heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and while doctors have more tools than ever to treat it, many patients still can't achieve safe cholesterol levels or can't tolerate the side ...
Phys.org / Turtles may migrate using Earth's magnetic field
New research indicates that sea turtles seem to navigate across hundreds of miles of open ocean using Earth's magnetic field. Previous experimental studies suggested that sea turtles use geomagnetism to navigate, but this ...
