Phys.org / Satellite images show how penguins' diets are changing in response to Antarctic climate change
The color of penguin poop, as seen from space, is offering a new window into how Antarctica's ecology and environment are changing over time.
Phys.org / Completing the connectome: How pursuing a map of the fly brain rewired neuroscience
When researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus set out to create a map of all the neurons in the fruit fly brain in 2008, many in the scientific community thought they were out of their minds.
Phys.org / First switchable graphene nanoribbon that twists on demand
Researchers at Nagoya University have built a graphene nanoribbon that can switch the direction of its twist using a natural solvent. Graphene nanoribbons are thin, ribbon-shaped structures made of fused carbon rings. Twisted ...
Medical Xpress / Identifying patients at lower risk for kidney transplant rejection
A new risk stratification model developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists may help identify patients at lower risk of kidney transplant rejection, informing more personalized treatment and care strategies with fewer adverse ...
Phys.org / The biggest black hole merger ever observed could be less massive than it appears
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime created when pairs of black holes spiral into each other and eventually merge. But if this ripple has been warped by another massive object on its way to Earth, a new analysis ...
Phys.org / Surf's up: How the seafloor shapes breaking waves
A new study led by surfing scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego revealed the physical relationships underlying a pattern familiar to generations of surfers.
Tech Xplore / Apple faces £2 billion lawsuit in UK over app privacy feature
Apple faces a £2 billion ($2.7 billion) lawsuit brought by UK app developers who on Thursday accused the U.S. tech giant of giving its own advertising services an unfair advantage by imposing tougher privacy rules on third ...
Tech Xplore / Study shows plug-in hybrids polluting far more than expected
Plug-in hybrids have enjoyed a surge in popularity, but a study published Thursday showed they are polluting far more than most buyers think because they rely on batteries less often than regulators expected.
Phys.org / How stressed cells put the brakes on protein 'shipping'
Cells synthesize proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and these proteins are transported to the Golgi apparatus for distribution to their ultimate destinations inside and outside the cell. The structures that transport ...
Tech Xplore / Brain activity patterns could help sharpen LLM deductive reasoning
Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other similar conversational agents, are now widely used worldwide. In addition to processing, interpreting ...
Medical Xpress / Caregivers of children with cancer engage in culinary medicine classes and coaching in new study
Caregivers play an essential role in helping children maintain adequate nutrition during their cancer treatment. But treatment-related side effects, such as nausea and poor appetite, can make feeding a child particularly ...
Phys.org / How AI could make us work even harder
Technological progress has taken more than its fair share of the workload from humans over the years. Washing machines clean our clothes, tractors plow the fields and computers sort out administrative work.
