Phys.org / Mathematician challenges a 2,000-year-old legend about the Parthenon's optical illusions
One of Athens' crowning jewels is the Parthenon, a classical temple on the Acropolis that overlooks the Greek capital. According to legend, many historians, textbooks and tour guides say the ancient Greek architects who designed ...
Tech Xplore / Calls for global regulation of AI are growing. What exactly could it look like?
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appears to be listening to artificial intelligence (AI) firms' warnings to the world about the dangers of the technology they are developing.
Tech Xplore / UN AI experts warn against 'apocalyptic' rhetoric on risks
Several experts on a United Nations artificial intelligence committee warned Monday against the apocalyptic rhetoric used by some professionals in the sector regarding AI risks.
Medical Xpress / Vitamin C linked to improved outcomes in people with precancerous blood disorders
Vitamin C boosts the activity of cellular proteins called TET enzymes that help control which genes are turned on or off. Because decreased function of TET enzymes is a common driver of certain forms of blood cancer, researchers ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers extend lifespan of graphite-free anode-free batteries that could make EV batteries smaller and lighter
Korean researchers have developed a technology that could make electric-vehicle (EV) batteries smaller and lighter while helping EVs travel farther on a single charge. A KAIST research team has proposed a new solution to ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea crustaceans caught hitching rides on giant sea spiders
Some types of marine life appear to have it easy. While exploring thousands of meters below the waves in the Chilean Margin in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, scientists observed tiny shrimp-like crustaceans known as amphipods ...
Phys.org / Fairness-based pathways shift emissions cuts while preserving global climate goals
Who cuts emissions fastest, and who supports others in doing so, are central questions in global climate action. New IIASA-led research shows that building fairness into climate models from the start can inform deliberations ...
Phys.org / Researchers measure the environment where the first supermassive black holes formed
When the James Webb Space Telescope pointed its powerful instruments toward the early universe, scientists were surprised by what it found. At high-redshift (z) values, corresponding to less than 1 billion years after the ...
Phys.org / As cities prepare for 2026's super El Niño, some crucial blind spots can't be ignored
This year's El Niño has the potential to be one of the strongest in living memory, and the evidence is showing up around the world.
Medical Xpress / Plasticizer exposure during pregnancy linked to increased autism- and ADHD-related symptoms in children
The foundations of brain development are laid during a crucial period of pregnancy, and a common household plasticizer called DEHP may be quietly interfering with this process. Scientists have now found that prenatal exposure ...
Phys.org / New thermal insulator outperforms any material found in nature
Researchers have engineered a new material that is an extreme thermal insulator, is exceptionally stiff and can be printed as a thin film at large scales. The material has one of the lowest thermal conductivity profiles of ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny tactile sensor could help distinguish tissues during minimally invasive surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is a promising approach that allows doctors to intervene inside the body through small incisions, typically using advanced instruments. These can include small robotic instruments controlled by ...
