Tech Xplore / How AI helps solve problems it doesn't even understand
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems—without actually "understanding" ...
Phys.org / How pointing fingers shape what we see in old master paintings
One of the most common human gestures, the pointing finger, appears frequently in Old Master paintings as a guiding cue. However, its influence on viewers' gaze has never been systematically investigated. Researchers in experimental ...
Phys.org / NASA's Roman telescope will observe thousands of newfound cosmic voids
Our universe is filled with galaxies, in all directions as far as our instruments can see. Some researchers estimate that there are as many as 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. At first glance, these galaxies ...
Medical Xpress / How a rare disorder triggers sweet aversion and fat buildup in the liver
Scientists at City of Hope have unraveled how citrin deficiency (CD), a rare genetic disorder that prevents the liver from converting food into energy efficiently, can trigger fat buildup in the liver—even in lean individuals.
Phys.org / Bacterium hijacks fruit ripening program in citrus plants to steal sugars, research reveals
The bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas citri, which causes canker disease in citrus trees, activates selected parts of the fruit ripening program inside infected leaves. Normally, this program makes citrus fruits soften and sweeten ...
Phys.org / Integrative quantum chemistry method unlocks secrets of advanced materials
A new computational approach developed at the University of Chicago promises to shed light on some of the world's most puzzling materials—from high-temperature superconductors to solar cell semiconductors—by uniting two ...
Phys.org / Early motherhood carries wage penalty, while delaying pays off
A woman's early career pregnancy decision may shape her financial future for decades, according to new research co-led by Eden King, the Lynette S. Autrey Professor of Psychology at Rice University, and Nicola Lawrence-Thomas, ...
Tech Xplore / Virtual reality tool helping Indigenous people connect with Country
"It makes me feel like I am right there on Country." This was the response of a student after they used a new virtual reality (VR) tool I codeveloped to help Indigenous people around Australia learn on Country.
Phys.org / In echo of Jurassic Park, mosquitoes capture entire ecosystems in their blood meals
Jurassic Park—and its never-ending sequels and spinoffs—starts with a basic premise: extracting the DNA of long-dead dinosaurs from mosquitoes frozen in amber.
Phys.org / Climate change's hidden price tag: A 12% drop in our present income
For decades, economists have focused on how climate change will impact the future. New research from Derek Lemoine, APS Professor of Economics in the Eller College of Management, shows the impact is already here: climate ...
Phys.org / Common virus 'rewires' intracellular mechanisms to promote infection
Investigators from the laboratory of Derek Walsh, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology-Immunology, have discovered how human cytomegalovirus rewires intracellular mechanisms to control the movement of the cell nucleus, promoting ...
Phys.org / Improved tracer labeling expands PET imaging possibilities
Imagine being able to watch organs and tissues work in real time. That's the power of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, a technology that gives physicians and researchers a window into cellular processes.
