Phys.org / Q&A: How high school shapes future success
A study led by a recent Harvard graduate analyzed Massachusetts education and unemployment data for insights on how high schools affect students' long-term educational and earning outcomes. It found that on average, schools ...
Phys.org / Mussel-inspired glue from recycled plastics can be detached and reused
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a reusable adhesive from waste polymers that is tougher than commercial glues, works underwater as well as in dry environments, and bonds ...
Medical Xpress / Mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy shows potential for major diseases
Chinese researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy, achieving the safe and efficient transplantation of healthy mitochondria into cells and tissues for the first ...
Phys.org / One-pot process could convert sugarcane waste to jet fuel
Converting sugarcane waste to biofuel could become more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, thanks to a joint project at The University of Queensland and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Ph.D. candidate ...
Tech Xplore / AI model excels in single image reflection removal
Capturing a picturesque scene through reflective materials, such as glass, often results in an unintended superimposition—showing both the transmitted scene and the undesired reflected scene. While traditional reflection ...
Tech Xplore / LLMs and creativity: AI responses show less variety than human ones
Can using a large language model (LLM) make a person more creative? Prior work has shown that using LLMs can make creative outputs more homogeneous, but this homogenization could stem from the specific LLM used or from widespread ...
Medical Xpress / Vivid dreaming makes sleep feel deeper, researchers discover
Researchers led by Guilio Bernardi at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in Italy have discovered a key relationship between dreaming and the feeling of having had a good night's sleep. Published in PLOS Biology, the ...
Phys.org / Highly and casually active citizen scientists contribute equally valuable data
The word "nemotia" is a neologism, a newly coined term that in this case, describes the sense of overwhelmingness and disconnect accompanying the thought that nothing you do will ever make a difference. If this describes ...
Phys.org / Video training helps young adults with disabilities navigate romance
For too long, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have been denied the same opportunities for love, romance, and sexual expression as their peers. Misconceptions about their desires and abilities ...
Tech Xplore / Digital twins to rescue robots: What faster 3D point cloud processing enables
What if technology, such as self-driving cars, drones, or intelligent navigation systems, could understand the world the way we do—not just seeing shapes, but recognizing meaning? A person waiting at a crosswalk, a bicycle ...
Medical Xpress / The oral cavity is the vestibule of the brain: Study links gum disease and Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's disease is most commonly associated with memory impairment, disorientation, and irreversible neurodegenerative changes in the brain. We rarely think of it in the context of… a toothbrush. Meanwhile, an increasing ...
Tech Xplore / 'Neuron-freezing' technique can stop LLMs from giving users unsafe responses
Researchers have identified key components in large language models (LLMs) that play a critical role in ensuring these AI systems provide safe responses to user queries. The researchers used these insights to develop and ...
