Tech Xplore / How probabilistic analysis can help improve nuclear safety
In nuclear power plants, primary coolant piping systems are designed to maintain the structural integrity of the nuclear reactor under normal operating conditions. A pipe rupture that can result in a loss-of-coolant accident ...
Tech Xplore / Top tech companies urge global response against AI cyber threats
More than 100 organizations around the world, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI and rival Anthropic, have signed an open letter calling for a global effort to "strengthen cyber defenses" against AI-powered cybersecurity threats.
Medical Xpress / Most adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis may be ineligible for randomized controlled trials
More than half of real-world adult patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC) are ineligible for current randomized controlled trials (RCTs), according to a study published online Aug. 4 in Crohn's & Colitis ...
Phys.org / Oxygen collisions reveal how quark–gluon matter approaches equilibrium
High-energy nuclear collisions recreate extreme conditions similar to those in the early universe, producing quark–gluon plasma (QGP), a hot state of matter in which quarks and gluons are no longer confined inside protons ...
Phys.org / Emperor penguin colonies reveal decades-long resilience and flexible breeding sites
With their charming waddles, heat-conserving huddles and tuxedo-like plumage, emperor penguins are among the world's most recognizable animals. Recent satellite surveys estimate that hundreds of thousands of the flightless ...
Tech Xplore / Bifur-circuits let shape-changing devices keep electrical connections intact
A new set of modular components allows users to create reconfigurable smart devices with electrical connections that keep working no matter what shape the structure forms.
Medical Xpress / Primate-specific DNA change reveals a new link to dementia-related neurodegeneration
Brain diseases, including dementia, have long been studied using experimental animals such as mice. However, differences between the human and animal genomes have raised concerns that some disease mechanisms may not be fully ...
Tech Xplore / Adaptive AI combines complementary motion experts to reconstruct complex 3D scenes
Many AI technologies depend on accurately reconstructing dynamic 3D environments, from self-driving vehicles to immersive virtual reality. However, representing the wide variety of motions found in real-world scenes remains ...
Tech Xplore / How the war in Iran could serve as a 'turning point' for transition away from fossil fuels: Q&A
The war in Iran has strangled one of the world's most important oil-producing regions and trade routes, and gas prices have soared. UC Santa Barbara's Paasha Mahdavi, associate professor of political science and affiliated ...
Tech Xplore / Two-stage AI sharpens UHD low-light images while preserving fine details
Modern cameras can capture an extraordinary amount of detail, producing images made up of millions of pixels that reveal textures, edges and colors invisible to earlier generations of digital photography. In poor lighting ...
