Phys.org / Vegans develop complex skills to navigate an omnivorous society, new research shows
Going vegan is a life-changing decision. Successfully committing to eating only ethically sourced, non-exploitative products—no dairy, no honey, no eggs, no animal output of any kind—can be daunting, especially in a society ...
Tech Xplore / The AI that taught itself: How AI can learn what it never knew
For years, the guiding assumption of artificial intelligence has been simple: an AI is only as good as the data it has seen. Feed it more, train it longer, and it performs better. Feed it less, and it stumbles. A new study ...
Phys.org / Scientists control 'free-flowing' electric currents with light
By controlling magnetic fields using light, a team of researchers led by NTU scientists has solved a long-standing challenge to precisely direct electric currents produced by quantum materials. Their findings unlock new avenues ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria drive process that protects colon tissue, study shows
The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings of a study co-led ...
Phys.org / Telomere breaks provide new insights into chaotic chromosome mutations
Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on mutation processes that contribute to cancer and inherited genetic conditions. The study, led by ...
Tech Xplore / Hair-thin 'soft yarn' actuator fiber moves with electricity
Researchers at Tohoku University, working with international collaborators in France, have developed an ultrafine "soft yarn" actuator fiber capable of bending, contracting, and producing complex three-dimensional movements ...
Phys.org / One gene makes the difference: Breeding winter-hardy faba beans
An international research team involving the IPK Leibniz Institute has discovered a small yet significant genetic difference in faba beans. Whether a plant survives the winter or can only be grown in spring hinges on a single ...
Phys.org / Study reveals how Ethiopia's hyenas combat climate change, save money for waste management and prevent disease
Urban scavengers like spotted hyenas are preventing more than 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually in Ethiopia's second-largest city, according to new research revealing the predators' role as accidental eco-warriors. ...
Phys.org / A new model defines an upper limit to planetary radiation belt intensity
We all know that stars radiate light and much more. But radiation belts can also surround many other celestial bodies, such as planets. These belts do not generate particles themselves—the belts receive them from nearby ...
Phys.org / AI-enabled quantum refinement cracks the code of difficult-to-map proteins
Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient Egyptian texts. Once ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists develop two-vaccine strategy to fight T cell lymphoma
T cell lymphomas are notoriously difficult to treat because immunotherapy, despite being one of the most effective therapies for treating cancer, can't easily distinguish cancerous T cells from healthy ones. Now, scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies gene linked to chemotherapy resistance in prostate cancer
A gene called FOXJ1 may drive resistance to taxane chemotherapy during treatment for advanced prostate cancer, according to a new study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. ...
