Tech Xplore / A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems
To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.
Phys.org / For the first time, researchers observe how influenza viruses infect living cells
The flu illness is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter the body through droplets and then infect cells. Researchers from Switzerland and Japan have now investigated the flu virus in minute detail.
Phys.org / Chlorine and potassium found in supernova remnant at unexpectedly high levels
"Why are we here?" is humanity's most fundamental and persistent question. Tracing the origins of the elements is a direct attempt to answer this at its deepest level. We know many elements are created inside stars and supernovae, ...
Medical Xpress / Nerve blocks and IV prochlorperazine now top recommendations for migraine relief in ERs
A new study by Phoenix's Barrow Neurological Institute and the University of Calgary has found which injectable treatments showed the most benefit for migraine patients and should be routinely offered by Emergency Departments ...
Medical Xpress / Virtual nursing programs fall short: Most nurses see little workload relief
Hospitals struggling to attract and retain enough registered nurses at the bedside are implementing alternative strategies to ensure patients get needed nursing care. This includes virtual nursing programs, a model of care ...
Phys.org / Iron-based magnetic material achieves major reduction in core loss
A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new technique for controlling the nanostructures and magnetic domain structures of iron-based soft amorphous ribbons, achieving more than a 50% reduction ...
Medical Xpress / Breathe in, breathe out: How respiration shapes remembering
First and foremost, we breathe in order to absorb oxygen—but this vital rhythm could also have other functions. Over the past few years, a range of studies have shown that respiration influences neural processes, including ...
Phys.org / Priming for planned sex increases desire, frequency in parents with young children
Between the lack of sleep and free time, physical, hormonal and relationship changes, and juggling work and other life commitments, many couples find their sex lives take a hit in the transition to parenthood. Continuing ...
Phys.org / Sargasso Sea shift reveals dramatic decline in some historic seaweed populations
A study led by researchers at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science has found that certain populations of the seaweed sargassum have experienced a significant decline over the past decade, even as increased ...
Medical Xpress / Planned birth at term reduces pre-eclampsia in those at high risk, clinical trial finds
Planned birth at term reduces the incidence of preeclampsia in women at high risk of the condition, without increasing emergency Cesarean or neonatal unit admission, according to new trial results.
Phys.org / First discoveries from new Subaru Telescope program reveal massive planet and brown dwarf
Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaiʻi have discovered a massive planet and a brown dwarf orbiting distant stars. The discoveries are the first results from OASIS (Observing Accelerators with SCExAO Imaging Survey), ...
Phys.org / Pleasant-sounding words are easier to remember, pseudoword experiment shows
Which words do we find beautiful? And do beautifully sounding words stick better in memory? A new study led by linguist Theresa Matzinger from the University of Vienna suggests that the phonemic composition of words influences ...
