Tech Xplore / New 3D benchmark leaves AI in knots
Today's artificial intelligence models can't even tie their own shoes.
Phys.org / Uninhabited Caribbean islet blossoms into love nest for critically endangered iguana
Silence used to prevail in the forest of a private Caribbean islet until environmentalists transformed it into a love nest for the critically endangered Lesser Antillean iguana.
Medical Xpress / Subtyping colorectal cancer may improve patient outcome predictions
Colorectal cancer, or CRC, is the world's second most lethal cancer based on the number of deaths, and is the third most prevalent malignant tumor. Doctors and patients have long been hoping for better diagnostics for prognosis, ...
Medical Xpress / Tragedy generates advice on underwater breath-holding risks
For many, swimming is a source of joy and freedom, but holding your breath in shallow water can be fatal.
Phys.org / Signature of climate change: Nearly half of harmful wildfire smoke exposure linked to human-caused warming
Across the western U.S., wildfires and the dangerous smoke that results have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s—that much is clear. Surprisingly less clear are the exact reasons why: While greenhouse gas-related ...
Phys.org / Scientists discover how plant cell walls guide stem cells
Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and how do they ensure each ...
Phys.org / Researchers co-develop new deep learning platform to advance precision medicine
Researchers from Marshall University and the University of Missouri have developed G2PDeep, an innovative web-based platform that uses advanced AI to analyze multiple types of biological data and more accurately predict complex ...
Phys.org / Ocean sediments are key to survival of northeastern US salt marshes
Salt marshes, those critical habitats that protect coastal towns from flooding, store massive amounts of blue carbon, support fisheries and play a key role in ecological resilience, are struggling to survive as oceans rise ...
Phys.org / Synthetic key enzyme enables the conversion of CO₂ into formic acid
For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a promising candidate as it ...
Tech Xplore / How 3D printing creates stronger vehicle parts by solving aluminum's high-temperature weakness
Aluminum is prized for being lightweight and strong, but at high temperatures it loses strength. This has limited its use in engines, turbines, and other applications where parts must stay strong under high temperature conditions. ...
Medical Xpress / Hospitals acquired by real estate investment trusts associated with greater risk of bankruptcy and closure
Real estate investment trust (REIT)-acquired U.S. hospitals were associated with a greater risk of bankruptcy or closure than non-REIT-acquired hospitals, according to a new study led by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School ...
Phys.org / Vital intertwining: Blood parasite's chainmail-like DNA structure could inspire next-generation materials
As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each other. Studying it can ...
