Phys.org / Natto fermentation actively produces health-promoting supersulfide molecules, study reveals
Supersulfide molecules, metabolites from plants that are important in cellular metabolism, are attracting attention in the medical and nutritional fields for their potential in supporting health and disease prevention. Natto, ...
Phys.org / Innate biases of newborn animals inspire adaptive decision-making model
Precocial animals, the ones that move autonomously within hours after hatching or birth, have many biases they are born with that help them survive, finds a new paper led by Queen Mary University of London, published in Proceedings ...
Medical Xpress / New paper urges caution as FDA plans to phase out animal testing in drug development
Replacing animal testing with alternate methodologies in preclinical drug trials holds potential for the development of cheaper, safer pharmaceuticals as well as alleviating animal suffering. But according to a new paper ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered solar aquaculture reveals a scalable pathway for food, energy and climate action
Researchers in Taiwan demonstrate that installing solar panels above clam ponds can simultaneously support aquaculture and renewable energy under increasing climate stress. Using real-world farm data, the study shows that ...
Phys.org / Modeling finds old-growth wildfire risk highest where low-severity fires once burned
A new analysis shows that the Pacific Northwest's mature and old-growth forests are most at risk of severe wildfire in areas that historically burned frequently at lower severity. The study by scientists at Oregon State University ...
Phys.org / Teen's 1958 find becomes Australia's oldest dinosaur fossil
University of Queensland research has confirmed Brisbane's only dinosaur fossil is Australia's oldest, dating back to the earliest part of the Late Triassic period 230 million years ago. The 18.5-centimeter footprint was ...
Phys.org / Complex tongue bones, fleshy teeth on the roof of earliest known bird's mouth might have helped it snag food
Flying is really hard work. Compared to walking, swimming, or running, flying is the form of movement that takes the most energy and requires the most calories. That means that birds have had to evolve specialized ways to ...
Phys.org / We ate space mushrooms and survived to tell the tale
The mushrooms spread out on the chopping board seemed normal enough. They were rich and dense, and had a strong earthy aroma. In the saucepan, they melted—along with the cheese—to form a creamy pasta sauce.
Phys.org / AI-powered compressed imaging system developed for high-speed scenes
A research team from the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators from the Institute National de la Recherche Scientifique, Canada, and Northwest ...
Phys.org / Real-time view inside microreactor reveals 2D semiconductor growth secrets
As the miniaturization of silicon-based semiconductor devices approaches fundamental physical limits, the electronics industry faces an urgent need for alternative materials that can deliver higher integration and lower power ...
Phys.org / How to close the justice gap: What a health-linked legal model showed in three years
A three-year study has found that legal services work best when they are designed with communities, delivered face-to-face and closely linked to health and well-being, offering important lessons for improving access to justice ...
Phys.org / Multi-agent AI and robots automate materials discovery in closed-loop lab system
Traditional processes used to discover new materials are complex, time-consuming, and costly, often requiring years of sustained effort. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated powerful capabilities ...
