Photis Gaitanos' rough fingers adroitly untangle the venomous spikes of a lionfish from a net, throwing the exotic-looking creature into an ice-filled rubber bin along with other fish from the day's catch.
Phys.org / Converting CO₂ into valuable chemicals in acidic environments: Iodide ions unlock efficient ethylene production
The emission of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of the primary factors contributing to air pollution and climate change on Earth. In recent years, energy engineers have thus been trying to develop systems that could reduce ...
Medical Xpress / Indoor tanning makes youthful skin much older on a genetic level
Tanning bed users are known to have a higher risk of skin cancer, but for the first time researchers have found that young indoor tanners undergo genetic changes that can lead to more mutations in their skin cells than people ...
Phys.org / Ultracold atoms observed climbing a quantum staircase
For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.
Tech Xplore / All-optical chip achieves 100-fold speed boost over top-tier NVIDIA chips
Scientists in China have unveiled a new AI chip called LightGen that is 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than NVIDIA chips, the leading supplier of AI chips worldwide. Instead of using electricity to move ...
Medical Xpress / Gut bacteria may play role in bipolar depression by directly influencing brain connectivity
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by extreme mood changes. Individuals diagnosed with BD typically alternate between periods of high energy, euphoria, irritability and/or impulsivity (i.e., manic ...
Medical Xpress / New study suggests best way to stop taking antidepressants
The best way for people with depression to stop taking antidepressants once their condition improves is to slowly taper off the medication while also receiving psychological support, new research suggested Thursday.
Medical Xpress / A urine-based biological aging clock: Machine learning and microRNA offer accurate prediction
Craif Inc. in Nagoya, Japan, working with Nagoya University's Institute of Innovation for Future Society, has developed a urine-based biological aging clock. In validation of the method, predicted ages came within 4.4 years ...
Phys.org / The gut bacteria that put the brakes on weight gain in mice
The gut microbiome is intimately linked to human health and weight. Differences in the gut microbiome—the bacteria and fungi in the gut—are associated with obesity and weight gain, raising the possibility that changing ...
Phys.org / Kolmogorov-Arnold networks bridge AI and scientific discovery by increasing interpretability
AI has successfully been applied in many areas of science, advancing technologies like weather prediction and protein folding. However, there have been limitations for the world of scientific discovery involving more curiosity-driven ...
Medical Xpress / Antiviral trial ties valacyclovir to faster cognitive decline
New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University Medical Center investigators, with co-authors across additional US centers, report greater cognitive worsening at 78 weeks with valacyclovir than with placebo among ...
Phys.org / Scientists who use AI tools are publishing more papers than ever before
Science is entering a massive publishing boom, in large part due to artificial intelligence. New research published in the journal Science has revealed that scientists who use large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are ...
