Tech Xplore / AI agents debate their way to improved mathematical reasoning
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used worldwide to create written content, source information and even to code websites ...
Phys.org / A molecular gatekeeper that controls protein synthesis
Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of proteins that compact ...
Phys.org / Passive adaptation mechanism reveals how cells balance their protein levels
Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their job or become damaged, ...
Phys.org / Rare brown dwarf discovered orbiting ancient star
Astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and elsewhere report the discovery of a new brown dwarf about 60 times more massive than Jupiter. The newfound substellar object, designated TOI-7019 ...
Phys.org / Smile and the world will trust you: How mimicry shapes first impressions
How does mimicry affect the way we judge other people? Whose behavior do we imitate, and in what situations? It turns out that we are more likely to mimic people who express joy, and we perceive those people as more attractive ...
Phys.org / 2.8 days to disaster: Why we are running out of time in low earth orbit
A "House of Cards" is a wonderful English phrase that it seems is now primarily associated with a Netflix political drama. However, its original meaning is of a system that is fundamentally unstable. It's also the term Sarah ...
Phys.org / Earth's atmosphere may help support human life on the moon
The moon's surface may be more than just a dusty, barren landscape. Over billions of years, tiny particles from Earth's atmosphere have landed in the lunar soil, creating a possible source of life-sustaining substances for ...
Medical Xpress / Mental health conditions linked to higher risk of unintentional injury
People with mental health conditions face a significantly higher risk of physical injuries, according to a new University of Michigan study.
Medical Xpress / Birth control can ease PCOS symptoms without added heart or diabetes risk, clinical trial finds
Birth control pills, taken alone or paired with the drug metformin, did not raise the risk of metabolic syndrome, a precursor of heart disease and diabetes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) even if those women ...
Phys.org / Entanglement lifetime extended orders of magnitude using coupled cavities
(Phys.org)—Entangled qubits form the basic building blocks of quantum computers and other quantum technologies, but when qubits lose their entanglement, they lose their quantum advantage over classical bits. Unfortunately, ...
Phys.org / Long-hypothesized dynamic transition seen in deeply supercooled water for the first time
In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have achieved the first experimental observation of a fragile-to-strong transition in deeply supercooled water, resolving a scientific puzzle that has persisted for ...
Medical Xpress / Key phospholipid points to potential treatment for vascular dementia
A possible new treatment for impaired brain blood flow and related dementias is on the horizon. Research by scientists at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine provides novel insights into the ...
