Phys.org / The twisted nanotubes that tell a story: Geometry-based approach can transmit magnon-based data
In collaboration with scientists in Germany, EPFL researchers have demonstrated that the spiral geometry of tiny, twisted magnetic tubes can be leveraged to transmit data based on quasiparticles called magnons, rather than ...
Phys.org / Molten metal nano-droplets reveal new hybrid state of matter where solids meet liquids
Researchers have discovered that not all atoms in a liquid are in motion and that some remain stationary regardless of the temperature, significantly impacting the solidification process, including the formation of an unusual ...
Phys.org / White paper on leadership opportunities for AI to increase employee value released
University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies announces a new white paper, "Leadership Opportunities for Increasing Employee Value through Artificial Intelligence," authored by Andrew C. Lawlor, Ph.D., and Pamayla E. ...
Phys.org / Trust in science is low among minorities for a reason, research finds
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a nationwide conversation in the U.S. about how much people trust scientists and trained medical professionals. But for some communities, distrust has been the norm.
Phys.org / Mitotic stopwatch pathway shows how cancer loses its sense of time to avoid stress responses
When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ability to tell the time, ...
Medical Xpress / Online tool detects drug exposure directly from patient samples
Doctors and researchers try to understand what medications a person has taken by asking patients directly or by looking at medical records. But this information is often incomplete. People may forget what they took, use over‑the‑counter ...
Medical Xpress / Running boosts dopamine and coordination in aging mice, providing potential insight into Parkinson's disease
The brain-chemical surge that comes with running may bolster coordination and speed in the old and young alike, a new study of middle-aged mice shows. Such physical activity may help restore ease of movement and agility, ...
Phys.org / It's the JWST's turn to look for an intermediate mass black hole
Intermediate mass black holes (IMBH), if they exist, have between about 100 and 1,000 solar masses, placing them in between stellar black holes and supermassive black holes. But while there's plenty of evidence for both stellar ...
Medical Xpress / Computational tool can detect how genetic interactions impact human traits
A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was applied to massive datasets ...
Phys.org / GeoFlame VISION: Using AI and satellite imagery to predict future wildfire risk
Wildfires pose a significant threat across the southwestern United States, due to the region's unique topography and weather conditions. Accurately identifying locations at the highest risk of a severe wildfire is critical ...
Medical Xpress / AI models can rival humans in anonymizing patient information from electronic health records
Researchers from the University of Oxford have benchmarked artificial intelligence (AI) tools capable of automatically removing personal information from patient electronic health records (EHRs) in a key step toward enabling ...
Phys.org / Research seeks solutions to mine site waste, from the ground up
Thousands of open cut mines lie abandoned worldwide, while more stringent mine site rehabilitation laws in Australia are paving the way for improved long-term restoration efforts.
