New York City offers nearly every type of medical specialist but provides fewer specialty health care providers per capita than smaller cities, according to a new study that challenges conventional assumptions about urban ...
Phys.org / Scalable strategy produces high-quality black phosphorus nanoribbons for electronics
Black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs), thin and narrow ribbon-like strips of black phosphorus, are known to exhibit highly advantageous electronic properties, including a tunable bandgap. This essentially means that the energy ...
Tech Xplore / A new study finds AI tools are often unreliable, overconfident and one-sided
Artificial intelligence may well save us time by finding information faster, but it is not always a reliable researcher. It frequently makes unsupported claims that are not backed up by reliable sources. A study by Pranav ...
