Medical Xpress / Patient-specific AI technique could make minimally invasive surgeries safer and more precise
Researchers have created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient's preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely guide ...
Phys.org / From war to weather, Australian farmers are planting spring crops in an uncertain world
Australian farmers are heading into spring with an unusual mix of optimism and uncertainty.
Phys.org / Report on global water resources: Worldwide continents are drying up
The global water cycle is becoming increasingly unbalanced. Extreme droughts and floods are the result. This is shown in this year's report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on the state of global water resources, ...
Phys.org / Sea surface temperature biases shift the North Pacific jet stream southward, study finds
Climate models are numerical models used to project future climate change. They simulate the climate from the present into the future by calculating changes in the atmosphere, ocean and other components of the climate system. ...
Phys.org / Light lets microswimmers switch between bacteria-like and algae-like propulsion
Physicists at Leipzig University and Charles University in Prague have developed a method for changing the swimming style of tiny artificial microswimmers in real time. They can make a single microscopic particle switch at ...
Phys.org / Australia's ancient rainfall patterns more complex than previously believed
"Sediment and fossil records are a major pillar of our understanding of how the climate works—but climate scientists have gotten something wrong about Australia's ice age," says Dr. Alex F. Wall, lead author of a new research ...
Tech Xplore / Record 32% of new vehicle sales to be EVs in 2030, study finds
A new analysis of U.S. electric vehicle sales projects that a record share of new vehicles sold in 2030 will be electric, despite recent steps by the federal government to remove incentives for their growth.
Phys.org / Robots and AI uncover unexpected pathway in classic 135-year-old chemical reaction
Chemical reactions are often written as simple equations: Starting materials go in, and a product comes out. In reality, the same substrates can follow many different pathways depending on their concentrations, temperature, ...
Phys.org / Disordered atoms steer shared light pulses by matching motion and timing
A research team at the Institute of Applied Physics at TU Darmstadt has shown for the first time that atoms that are completely disordered and in constant motion can nevertheless emit jointly directed light preferentially ...
Tech Xplore / Flexible flight corridors let drones navigate cluttered spaces faster and more safely
Researchers at Durham University have developed a new drone navigation system that enables autonomous aircraft to fly faster, more smoothly and more safely through crowded and obstacle-filled environments. This leads to new ...
Phys.org / When disaster crosses borders, Indonesia's credibility is tested twice
On Sept. 15, the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau sent volcanic ash up to 15,000 meters (50,000 feet) and produced rumbling heard 700 kilometers (435 miles) away. Eight airports suspended operations, thousands of flights were ...
Phys.org / Examining Americans' complicated relationship with science
A new study finds that while most Americans are interested in science and believe it benefits society, the public's relationship with science is more complicated than those positive views suggest.
