Tech Xplore / 'Robot, make me a chair': AI-driven system designs, builds multicomponent objects from user prompts
Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD software requires extensive expertise to master, and many tools incorporate such a high level ...
Phys.org / Quantum mechanical molecular 'fingerprints' solve machine learning mystery
There is more than one way to describe a water molecule, especially when communicating with a machine learning (ML) model, says chemist Robert DiStasio. You can feed the algorithm the molecule's structural information: two ...
Medical Xpress / Autism-related genes may shape early brain development via the extracellular matrix
A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and intellectual disability may influence early brain development.
Phys.org / Your body is full of medicine. Researchers can now synthesize it
Northeastern University researchers have made a breakthrough drug discovery, developing the first synthetic endogenous cannabinoid compound, with repercussions for new therapeutics from pain and inflammation to cancer.
Phys.org / First armored dinosaur hatchling discovered in China
The mystery surrounding dozens of small dinosaur fossils has finally been solved. Remains previously thought to belong to miniature armored dinosaurs are actually baby ankylosaurs, offering scientists new insight into how ...
Phys.org / Genetic teamwork may be the secret to climate-resilient plants
A plant's success may depend on how well the three sets of genetic instructions it carries in its cells cooperate, according to a new study led by plant scientists at Penn State. In an analysis of the hybrids of two crossbred ...
Phys.org / New fossil lungfish from Yunnan sheds light on critical stage of early vertebrate evolution
A research team led by Prof. Zhu Min—a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and affiliated with the CAS Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP)—has identified a new species of fossil ...
Phys.org / Cell death discovery could aid cancer treatments
La Trobe researchers have made a discovery about the way dying cells are cleared from our bodies, which could have important impacts on recovery from diseases including cancer infection and inflammatory diseases.
Medical Xpress / Genetic influences on health can ripple through social groups via shared microbes
Your "roommate's" genes could be influencing the bacteria living in your gut, and vice versa, according to a study of rats published in Nature Communications.
Phys.org / Webb captures dwarf stars in a glittering sky
The final ESA/Webb Picture of the Month feature for 2025 showcases a festive-looking region filled with glowing clouds of gas and thousands of sparkling stars. This star cluster, known as Westerlund 2, resides in a stellar ...
Phys.org / Acid-treated carbon nanotubes boost efficiency and stability of flexible perovskite solar modules
Flexible perovskite solar modules (f-PSMs) are a key innovation in current renewable energy technology, offering a pathway toward sustainable and efficient energy solutions. However, ensuring long-term operational stability ...
Medical Xpress / Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
When Americans begin taking appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the changes extend well beyond the bathroom scale. According to new research, the medications are associated with meaningful reductions in how ...
