Phys.org / Microscopic sensors uncover how liquids turn glassy without structural change
A scientific discovery by researchers at Tel Aviv University's School of Chemistry offers a new perspective on a long-standing scientific mystery: how does a flowing liquid suddenly become a rigid, almost frozen material, ...
Medical Xpress / How the architecture of the prefrontal cortex shapes our creativity
When a writer comes up with a striking metaphor, when an engineer solves a tricky problem by combining seemingly unrelated tools, or when a child invents the rules of a new game, what happens in the brain? In cognitive neuroscience, ...
Phys.org / Just a few species can drive a plant community's response to warming temperatures
A new analysis of experimental data led by the University of Michigan has unveiled insights into why and how plant communities are changing their makeup to survive in warmer temperatures. Thanks to field studies of plant ...
Medical Xpress / Autonomous AI renews 192 drugs in Utah pilot, exposing safety and legal gaps
A first-of-its-kind pilot program in Utah developed by a health-technology startup company uses artificial intelligence to automatically renew certain prescriptions for patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension ...
Phys.org / Molecular probe upgrade could make off-target drug effects easier to measure
A UCLA-led international research collaboration has unveiled a new technology that may help scientists better understand how small molecules, including many drugs, bind to proteins. The invention works with an existing lab ...
Phys.org / Atomic-column imaging uncovers hidden magnetic structures in antiferromagnets
Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external magnetic interference, making them ideal for high-speed, high-density spintronic devices. However, ...
Tech Xplore / Evolving AI may arrive before AGI and create hard-to-control risks
Evolutionary biology holds clues for the future of AI, argue researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Eötvös Loránd University, and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. In a new ...
Phys.org / How rocks trap CO₂ faster: Water-driven pathway could speed long-term carbon storage
Rocks can bind carbon dioxide—and much faster than previously thought. For a long time, it was assumed that the transformation of CO2 into carbonate rock depends on very slow, time-consuming processes. According to that view, ...
Medical Xpress / Molecular switch guides neurons through developing brain, revealing opposing migration pathways
During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide neuronal migration through ...
Medical Xpress / Reward or punishment? New study reveals learning processes in the fruit fly brain
Researchers at Leipzig University have gained important insights into learning mechanisms in the brain of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, ...
Phys.org / In study of Taiwanese electronics firms, effects of offshoring on innovation were mixed
In recent decades, the global distribution of manufacturing has shifted dramatically, with many multinational firms moving their production to countries that pay workers lower wages while continuing skill-intensive activities ...
Medical Xpress / Survey: Kids' mental health and behavior are top triggers of parent stress
Parental stress continues to rise, but what's weighing on moms and dads today is largely the mental health of their children. A new national survey conducted by Ipsos on behalf of The Kids Mental Health Foundation, founded ...
