Tech Xplore / Existing power grids draw data centers to cities, study finds
When people picture a data center, they often imagine something remote: a huge warehouse humming quietly far from the city. New research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering shows that assumption is largely wrong.
Tech Xplore / Innovative design unlocks resilient semiconductor materials
Semiconductors such as silicon are the cornerstone of today's essential technologies, but the variety of materials available to power devices is limited. While metal oxides are durable, only a small subset are semiconducting ...
Medical Xpress / Implant design helps fight ovarian cancer from the inside
Researchers have developed an implant that could deliver next-generation therapies for ovarian cancer precisely where they are needed while simultaneously monitoring how the disease responds.
Phys.org / Refugees reveal how community shapes success in Canada
Hungarian and Vietnamese refugees who arrived in Canada during two of the largest refugee movements in Canadian history report that strong social connections, supportive communities and opportunities for belonging played ...
Phys.org / New immune-blocking strategy improves interspecies organ generation
Xenophagocytosis is a natural immune process that limits interspecies organ generation by eliminating living donor cells, researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, report. By uncovering how embryonic macrophages ...
Phys.org / A cooperative approach to reproductive success
Fertilization is often imagined as a frantic race, with millions of sperm competing for a single prize. But new research by a team of evolutionary biologists from Syracuse University, the University of Siena in Italy and ...
Phys.org / Space kit for future 'away missions' tested in Scotland
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the University of Aberdeen have carried out a series of field demonstrations in Portsoy to test cutting-edge handheld analytical instruments. Designed for use by astronauts ...
Phys.org / Why some nitrogen-processing enzymes are more efficient than others
Nitrogen gas is abundant in Earth's atmosphere, but most living organisms can't readily use it. Only a subset of microbes with enzymes known as nitrogenases can break nitrogen gas apart and convert it into ammonia.
Medical Xpress / Brain activity reveals the melodies that people imagine
In a study led by Jii Kwon and Chun Kee Chung of Seoul National University, researchers explored whether they could recreate melodies from the brain activity of people who imagined how songs continue after listening to a ...
Phys.org / We don't know how well threatened species fight off bird flu—but we need to
Lethal bird flu is now spreading in Australia. This is bad news for many native species.
Phys.org / Male sperm whales produce loudest communication sounds ever measured in any mammal
Deep in the world's oceans, large male sperm whales emit slow, low-frequency clicks with the highest source levels of any animal communication sounds. These slow clicks are not the echolocation clicks the whales use to locate ...
Tech Xplore / AI has been stepping out of bounds. Should you be worried?
The robots aren't revolting, but they're starting to freelance … or so it seems. Recent weeks have seen several high-profile instances of AI going off the leash in ways that have raised alarms among security experts and the ...
