Phys.org / Researchers rebuild microscopic circadian clock that can control genes
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with jet lag and daylight saving ...
Phys.org / Deep learning detects foodborne bacteria within three hours by eliminating debris misclassifications
Researchers have significantly enhanced an artificial intelligence tool used to rapidly detect bacterial contamination in food by eliminating misclassifications of food debris that looks like bacteria. Current methods to ...
Phys.org / Turtle fossil narrows timeline of Cretaceous species migration
Before leaving on a fossil-hunting trip for a summer 2021 field paleontology class, a Montana State University junior made an apparently fate-tempting plea. "I kept joking through that whole class, 'Oh, please, just anything ...
Phys.org / The future of eco-friendly cooling: Enhancing efficiency and sustainability of magnetic refrigerants
Conventional air conditioners and refrigerators rely on vapor-compression cycles and chemical refrigerants that contribute significantly to global warming. Magnetic refrigeration offers a cleaner alternative using the magnetocaloric ...
Phys.org / Extraterrestrial strategy: How the US could achieve energy dominance in space
Energy is fundamentally important—researchers have linked a lack of reliable energy to poor physical health, poor mental health and higher mortality rates. But when astronauts push the boundaries of space exploration, energy ...
Medical Xpress / Colorectal cancer is rising in younger adults. Here's who is most at risk and symptoms to watch for
Colorectal cancer is a threat not just to older adults but increasingly to young men and women, too. It's now the top cancer killer of Americans younger than 50.
Tech Xplore / Scientists camouflage heart rate from invasive radar-based surveillance
It's a typical workday and you sign onto your computer. Unbeknownst to you, a high-frequency sensing system embedded in your work device is now tracking your heart rate, allowing your employer to monitor your breaks, engagement, ...
Medical Xpress / Can medical AI lie? Large study maps how LLMs handle health misinformation
Medical artificial intelligence (AI) is often described as a way to make patient care safer by helping clinicians manage information. A new study by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators confronts ...
Phys.org / Earthquake data provide solid footing for AI foundation science model
There's been a seismic shift in science, with scientists developing new AI tools and applying AI to just about any question that can be asked. Researchers are now putting actual seismic waves to work, using data from the ...
Dialog / Scientists advance multi-purpose photocatalyst for clean hydrogen production and agricultural pollutant degradation
Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic pollutants from water? That question shaped our recent work with γ-In2S3, a semiconductor that has ...
Tech Xplore / Privacy risk on your wrist: Smartwatch electromagnetic signals may expose users to cyber surveillance
Sometimes, cybersecurity isn't about passwords or computer chips or networks. Instead, it may be about what's on your wrist. New research led by WPI faculty members and students shows that electromagnetic signals from smartwatches ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers identify promising Alzheimer's disease drug target
Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have identified a promising drug target for Alzheimer's disease. The team found that removing an enzyme from neurons in the brain substantially reduces amyloid plaques—a ...
