Medical Xpress / Social media bans for teenagers lack evidence and pose risks, scientists say
Bans on teenagers' social media use are gathering pace worldwide. Their proponents claim that social media bans will improve young people's mental health, but what evidence supports these claims? In their new Frontiers in ...
Phys.org / Tiny on-chip circuit could power next-generation quantum and AI technologies
Researchers from Monash University have developed a breakthrough nanoscale circuit that can generate, direct, and read light-based information, all on a single chip.
Tech Xplore / Physics-aware AI generates more realistic sounds by estimating mass and velocity from video
When people watch a scene in the film "Jurassic Park" where a giant dinosaur walks toward them, they naturally imagine a heavy, rumbling sound, as if the ground were shaking. This is because humans predict sound by considering ...
Medical Xpress / Celiac disease may raise risk of heart attack, stroke and early death
People with celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis have a slightly increased risk of cardiovascular disease, certain types of blood cancer, and premature death. This is shown by a large U.S. registry study led by researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Stress before conception may reprogram sperm and boost male offspring growth
Research from the University of Colorado Anschutz suggests that stress experienced by a father before conception may influence an offspring's growth by altering small molecular signals in sperm. The study, published in iScience, ...
Phys.org / An AI solution to an 80‑year‑old problem has shocked mathematicians
Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul ...
Phys.org / Payre fossils from Europe's earliest Neanderthals reveal dynamic evolution shaped by climatic oscillations
The Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) has led the international team behind a new study published in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences exploring the complex evolution of Neanderthals ...
Tech Xplore / Childlike AI uncovers why language grows more structured across generations
New research from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, has significant implications for understanding both human language development and the behavior of large-scale artificial intelligence language models.
Medical Xpress / RNA therapy for genetic heart failure moves closer to patients after lab gains
Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and identified the biological ...
Phys.org / Blue Origin rocket explodes on the launch pad during an engine-firing test
A rocket belonging to Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin exploded during a test at the launch pad Thursday night, shaking nearby homes and briefly painting the sky orange.
Phys.org / Revised mushroom toxin pathway could improve poisoning detection
The St. George's mushroom (Calocybe gambosa) is a popular edible mushroom, usually picked in May. Unfortunately, however, it also carries a risk as it can easily be confused with the young deadly fiber cap, which can potentially ...
Phys.org / New biosynthesis platform could enable bioactive compounds to be labeled, targeted and released on demand
Many medically important drugs originate from natural sources. Microorganisms produce these compounds using highly sophisticated and remarkably precise enzymatic assembly lines. Many natural microbial products belong to a ...
