Tech Xplore / Georgia Power says it needs a huge increase in power capacity to meet data center demand
With data centers flooding into Georgia, utility regulators face a big decision: Should they let Georgia Power Co. spend more than $15 billion to increase its electricity capacity by 50% over the next six years to serve computer ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning reveals how disordered protein regions contribute to cancer-causing condensates
Fusion oncoproteins arise when a gene fuses with another gene and acquires new abilities. Such abilities can include the formation of biomolecular condensates, "droplets" of concentrated proteins, DNA or RNA.
Phys.org / Spain probes five labs in hunt for source of swine fever
Spanish authorities said Saturday they are investigating five laboratories in an effort to find the source of an African swine fever outbreak that has unnerved Europe's leading pork-producing nation.
Phys.org / Simulations reveal how black holes generate intense light from infalling matter
Surprisingly, some of the universe's brightest objects are black holes. As scorching gas and dust flow around and into a black hole, they glow with fierce intensity across the light spectrum. Now, a team of computational ...
Tech Xplore / 'OCTOID,' a soft robot that changes color and moves like an octopus
Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to match the colors of nearby ...
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 / Long-standing puzzle in electron scattering deepens with new measurement
Why does lead behave so differently from every other atomic nucleus when struck by electrons? A team of physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has taken an important step toward answering this question, only ...
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 / Human gene maps are biased towards European ancestries, study reveals
Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published in Nature Communications.
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 / Exa-cel gene therapy may off effective cure for beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease in children younger than 12
Preliminary results from two trials of the gene therapy exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel) suggest the therapy offers an effective cure for beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease in children younger than 12. Researchers ...
