Phys.org / Second spider-parasitic mite species described in Brazil
When researchers studying spiders and scorpions at the Zoological Collections Laboratory of the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, came across a few-millimeter-long spider wearing something resembling a pearl necklace, ...
Phys.org / Sahel farmers do better when they combine innovations rather than using them one by one
Smallholder farmers in West Africa's Sahel face a harsh and worsening climate. Rainfall is erratic, temperatures are rising, soils are degrading, and droughts have become more frequent.
Medical Xpress / A cancer 'flashlight' helps physicians determine who can benefit from targeted treatments
To determine who could benefit from targeted cancer treatments, a researcher at the University of Missouri has put tumors under a spotlight.
Phys.org / Sulfolobus islandicus: Expanding the genetic toolkit for drug delivery and biotechnology applications
Sulfolobus islandicus, an archaeal model organism, offers unique advantages for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology applications owing to its ability to thrive under low pH and high temperature conditions. Although ...
Phys.org / Thin ice may have protected lake water on frozen Mars
Small lakes on ancient Mars may have remained liquid for decades, even with average air temperatures well below freezing.
Tech Xplore / Predicting the peak: New AI model prepares NYC's power grid for a warmer future
Buildings produce a large share of New York's greenhouse gas emissions, but predicting future energy demand—essential for reducing those emissions—has been hampered by missing data on how buildings currently use energy.
Phys.org / The next great space race: Building data centers in orbit
Google, SpaceX and Blue Origin are reportedly racing to develop technology for AI data centers in space, but it will likely be years before we see them rocketing into the sky, experts say.
Medical Xpress / New AI model predicts disease risk while you sleep
A poor night's sleep portends a bleary-eyed next day, but it could also hint at diseases that will strike years down the road. A new artificial intelligence model developed by Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues ...
Medical Xpress / Targeting epigenetic modifiers and splicing regulators together may offer new acute myeloid leukemia treatment paths
Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic mutations—IDH2 and SRSF2—work cooperatively to mis-splice RNA messages and change how blood ...
Tech Xplore / 'Metamaterials' could transform our lives, and sports equipment is at the vanguard
Metamaterials—artificially made materials with properties that aren't found in the natural world—are poised to transform daily life. Their unique properties are enhancing products from sporting goods to consumer electronics ...
Phys.org / Ancient Antarctica reveals a 'one–two punch' behind ice sheet collapse
When we think of global warming, what first comes to mind is the air: crushing heat waves that are felt rather than seen, except through the haziness of humid air. But when it comes to melting ice sheets, rising ocean temperatures ...
Tech Xplore / AI helps pave the way for self-driving cars
Even if Elon Musk's dream of robotaxis for everyone is a long way off, sleek electric cars powered by artificial intelligence packed the Consumer Electronics Show, promising to liberate people from the tedium of driving.
