Phys.org / Event Horizon Telescope images reveal new dark matter detection method
According to a new Physical Review Letters study, black holes could help solve the dark matter mystery. The shadowy regions in black hole images captured by the Event Horizon Telescope can act as ultra-sensitive detectors ...
Tech Xplore / Size doesn't matter: Just a small number of malicious files can corrupt LLMs of any size
Large language models (LLMs), which power sophisticated AI chatbots, are more vulnerable than previously thought. According to research by Anthropic, the UK AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute, it only takes ...
Phys.org / 'Battleship'-style math can improve sustainable design, groundwater management, nuclear waste storage and more
In an approach reminiscent of the classic board game "Battleship," Stanford researchers have discovered a way to characterize the microscopic structure of everyday materials such as sand and concrete with high precision.
Phys.org / Strain engineering enhances spin readout in quantum technologies, study shows
Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to the functioning of various ...
Medical Xpress / Rapid diagnostic test can detect asymptomatic malaria cases
Researchers have adapted a rapid diagnostic technology that is able to identify undetected cases of malaria, helping tackle the spread of disease.
Phys.org / Physics-informed AI excels at large-scale discovery of new materials
One of the key steps in developing new materials is property identification, which has long relied on massive amounts of experimental data and expensive equipment, limiting research efficiency. A KAIST research team has introduced ...
Tech Xplore / Biohybrid leaf mimics photosynthesis to turn CO₂ and sunlight into useful chemicals
Researchers have demonstrated a new and sustainable way to make the chemicals that are the basis of thousands of products—from plastics to cosmetics—we use every day.
Phys.org / The playbook for perfect polaritons: Rules for creating quasiparticles that can power optical computers, quantum devices
Light is fast, but travels in long wavelengths and interacts weakly with itself. The particles that make up matter are tiny and interact strongly with each other, but move slowly. Together, the two can combine into a hybrid ...
Medical Xpress / Enhanced multi-omics tool illuminates cancer progression
A new tool developed by Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Adelaide investigators has enhanced the ability to track multiple gene mutations while simultaneously recording gene activity in individual cancer cells. ...
Medical Xpress / 'Disease in a dish' study of progressive MS finds critical role for unusual type of brain cell
Scientists have identified an unusual type of brain cell that may play a vital role in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), likely contributing to the persistent inflammation characteristic of the disease.
Phys.org / LED light blasts cancer cells and spares healthy ones
A new cancer treatment combines LED light and tiny tin flakes to neutralize cancer cells while shielding healthy cells and avoiding the painful side effects associated with chemotherapy and other treatments.
Medical Xpress / Evidence grows that gut microbes shape mental health, opening doors for new therapies
Nearly one in seven people live with a mental health disorder, making it one of the world's most pressing health challenges. Yet despite available treatments, most people still lack access to effective care.
