Phys.org / Hotter, drier weather could double water bills in some US cities, study finds
Hotter, drier weather threatens to double water bills by midcentury in some cities, according to a Stanford-led study. The research, published in Nature Sustainability, is the first to comprehensively model how climate change, ...
Tech Xplore / Compact chip-based transceiver developed with ultra-low power consumption
Modern wireless communication systems prefer higher frequencies to meet the growing demand for faster data transfer. The 300-GHz band, which lies near the lower end of the terahertz range, is a promising candidate for future ...
Medical Xpress / Lower diversity and poorer function of gut bacteria linked to frailty in older women
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified clear links between the composition of gut bacteria and frailty in older women. In cases of high frailty, with an increased risk of illness and death, gut bacterial ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered social media can subtly manipulate opinion at scale
AI tools used to generate, edit or contextualize social media posts can introduce hidden biases that spread through online networks and shape public opinion, according to new research from the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop 'hierarchical AI agent' that tackles complex errands with ease
Korean researchers have developed a hierarchical AI technology that autonomously plans even complex, long-horizon tasks. The development of this hierarchical task-planning AI technology, which reduces hallucinations and doubles ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria boost immune system, help send vitamin A to T cells
Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that gut bacteria help regulate the development of the body's immune system by directing the movement of vitamin A through a previously unrecognized cellular network. ...
Phys.org / Researchers uncover the inside story on plant organ growth
Research has shed intriguing new light on the genetics underlying the diverse plant organ shapes seen in agriculture and nature. Despite more than a century of scientific investigation into the role of inner and outer tissues, ...
Tech Xplore / Hydrogen: Clean fuel of the future—if we can find a cheap and clean way to ship it
Many experts refer to hydrogen as "the fuel of the future." It is expected to help decarbonize the global economy in two main ways: Burning it or feeding it into a fuel cell produces storable energy with no carbon emissions, ...
Phys.org / Traveling protein waves reveal how dividing cells set chromosome-splitting spindle size
When a human cell prepares to split into two daughter cells, it must first construct a tiny internal machine called the mitotic spindle—a structure of protein fibers that physically pulls chromosomes apart and deposits one ...
Phys.org / Study underscores barriers for male survivor support
Male survivors of intimate partner violence are less likely to seek help than female survivors, according to new research from Michigan State University's School of Social Work. As a result, these cases of intimate partner ...
Phys.org / Bulk ferromagnetic quasicrystals emerge without rapid quenching, unlocking stable magnetic studies
Ferromagnetism has long been studied in a wide range of periodic crystals and amorphous materials. In quasicrystals (QCs), which possess long-range quasiperiodic order and unconventional rotational symmetries, such as 10-fold ...
Medical Xpress / Repurposed cancer drug rapidly eased rare autoimmune neuropathy in two patients
An interdisciplinary team at Jena University Hospital achieved a surprisingly rapid and significant improvement in two patients with an autoimmune peripheral nervous system disorder. The team administered teclistamab, a drug ...
