Tech Xplore / Collective intelligence framework shows how human-AI teams may make better decisions
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes embedded in critical decisions about health, safety, finance, and governance, a key challenge is no longer whether people and AI will collaborate, but rather how to structure this collaboration ...
Medical Xpress / Silencing stress signals could pave the way to a longer life
Silencing a major cellular stress signal could be the key to a longer life, according to new University of Sheffield research. While previous studies suggested that mild stress might help organisms live longer, new research ...
Science X / Superconductivity that shouldn't exist: Physicists dissect the mind-boggling properties of a strange quantum material
The material UTe2 exhibits multiple forms of zero electrical resistance—a phenomenon known as superconductivity—and displays several puzzling properties. After UTe2 loses its superconductivity at a certain magnetic field, ...
Phys.org / Aligned cells may explain why some wounds heal faster than others
Understanding how wounds heal after injury could be a step closer thanks to a new mathematical model developed by researchers at the University of Bristol. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, builds on previous ...
Phys.org / How cells decide when to react could shape future treatments for cancer and fibrosis
Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
Phys.org / Rivers worldwide reveal greenhouse gas rise that's been overlooked for decades
Rivers worldwide are under severe stress: they are warming, losing oxygen, and as a result emitting increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now quantified these ...
Phys.org / Beer waste may become sunscreen ingredient after spent hops show promising UV protection
Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil revealed that hops (Humulus lupulus L.) industrial waste from the brewing industry is a viable option for sunscreen formulation production. The multidisciplinary ...
Medical Xpress / Communication from the CDC fuels skepticism about vaccines and science, research suggests
The scientific consensus is that vaccinations are neither causally nor statistically linked to autism. The US health authority CDC changed its official communication on this matter and instead emphasized a connection could ...
Phys.org / Superconducting quantum circuit simulates proton tunneling phenomenon in chemical systems
Researchers at Yale, Google, and the University of California-Santa Barbara have created a device that simulates the quantum "tunneling" behavior of protons that occurs in chemistry, a process so common it occurs in everything ...
Phys.org / Rainforests can buffer rising CO₂ in the short term—but this comes at a cost
Tropical forests are among the world's most important carbon sinks. A new study by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Vienna, and Brazil's National Institute for Amazonian Research suggests that even ...
Phys.org / Gene circuits reshape DNA folding and affect how genes are expressed, study finds
When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the strand. A new study by MIT researchers, appearing in Science, shows that these ripples can stimulate ...
Phys.org / Radioactive imaging reveals ants' secret food networks
Researchers at the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) and the University of the Ryukyus have developed a new imaging method that makes it possible to see, in real time, how food is distributed and ...
