Tech Xplore / Evolving AI may arrive before AGI and create hard-to-control risks
Evolutionary biology holds clues for the future of AI, argue researchers from the HUN-REN Centre for Ecological Research, Eötvös Loránd University, and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. In a new ...
Science X / Superconductivity that shouldn't exist: Physicists dissect the mind-boggling properties of a strange quantum material
The material UTe2 exhibits multiple forms of zero electrical resistance—a phenomenon known as superconductivity—and displays several puzzling properties. After UTe2 loses its superconductivity at a certain magnetic field, ...
Medical Xpress / Disease-causing pathogen rewires gut metabolism to secure nutrients for growth, research shows
An intestinal pathogen reshapes the gut environment to fuel its own colonization and cause diseases, a multi-institutional team including researchers at Vanderbilt Health has discovered. The investigators show that enterotoxigenic ...
Phys.org / Aligned cells may explain why some wounds heal faster than others
Understanding how wounds heal after injury could be a step closer thanks to a new mathematical model developed by researchers at the University of Bristol. The study, published in Physical Review Letters, builds on previous ...
Phys.org / Beer waste may become sunscreen ingredient after spent hops show promising UV protection
Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil revealed that hops (Humulus lupulus L.) industrial waste from the brewing industry is a viable option for sunscreen formulation production. The multidisciplinary ...
Phys.org / How cells decide when to react could shape future treatments for cancer and fibrosis
Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
Tech Xplore / Creating the ultimate driver's test for automated vehicles
Automated vehicles have been steadily rolling out in U.S. cities, but scaled deployment still faces a daunting challenge: proving the technology can safely navigate the complexity of real-world driving. Virginia Tech researchers ...
Phys.org / Rivers worldwide reveal greenhouse gas rise that's been overlooked for decades
Rivers worldwide are under severe stress: they are warming, losing oxygen, and as a result emitting increasing amounts of greenhouse gases. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now quantified these ...
Medical Xpress / Targeted maternal screening could prevent rare, deadly leukemia in the US
A deadly form of leukemia may be stopped before it ever develops by introducing targeted maternal screening in the United States, according to new research. The national study, led by physician-scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive ...
Phys.org / Rainforests can buffer rising CO₂ in the short term—but this comes at a cost
Tropical forests are among the world's most important carbon sinks. A new study by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Vienna, and Brazil's National Institute for Amazonian Research suggests that even ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain rapidly switches between internal and external processing
A team led by Professor Ed X. Wu and Dr. Alex T. L. Leong has achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how the brain processes information through large-scale network changes. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, ...
Phys.org / Radioactive imaging reveals ants' secret food networks
Researchers at the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) and the University of the Ryukyus have developed a new imaging method that makes it possible to see, in real time, how food is distributed and ...
