Phys.org / Commute stress can fuel workplace conflict, but research suggests a simple fix
Pothole season, summer construction season or maybe bad weather. No matter the time of year, it's no surprise commuters who drive to work may start their day already feeling a bit on edge.
Phys.org / AI reads 3D tooth microwear to reconstruct diets of early human ancestors
The study of dental microwear allows the analysis of the microscopic marks that foods leave on the surface of tooth enamel during mastication. In paleoanthropology, this methodology helps reconstruct the diet of fossil primates ...
Medical Xpress / First 3D views of human cone opsins reveal how daylight vision reacts so fast
The retina of the human eye contains 6–7 million cone cells. These cells contain light-sensitive proteins known as cone opsins. They enable us to perceive our surroundings in detail in daylight. They allow us to see the world ...
Tech Xplore / IBM unveils 0.7-nanometer chip tech promising 50% higher performance and up to 70% better energy efficiency
IBM unveiled new semiconductor technology Thursday that the company says could deliver computer chips with 50% better performance while dramatically lowering power consumption.
Phys.org / Economic and environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture vary widely across farms and regions
Regenerative agriculture can deliver both economic and environmental benefits for European farmers, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) concludes in the research project Regenomics. Whether these benefits are actually ...
Phys.org / Sponges may cut methylmercury contamination in marine food webs by more than 50%
Marine sponges may play an important, previously underestimated role in reducing methylmercury contamination in marine food webs. In a new modeling study, researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon showed that sponges can significantly ...
Phys.org / Artificial 'leaf' powers wireless biomedical device
Plants convert light into energy efficiently through photosynthesis—an ability that scientists and engineers still struggle to match with electronic devices. Recently, researchers have looked beyond traditional semiconductor ...
Phys.org / The 2 earthquakes that struck Venezuela are known as a 'doublet.' Here's how they happen
The two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela's northern coast, killing more than 180 people, were an event known as a "doublet."
Medical Xpress / Healthy gut microbes in 6-week-old infants linked to lower risk of malaria during first year of life
In a small study in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 6-week-old infants with healthy gut microbiomes were less likely to contract malaria in their first year of life. While the study is preliminary, it suggests the possibility ...
Phys.org / How ancient subduction zones helped create hotspots of mineral wealth
A study led by geoscientists at the University of Sydney has revealed why some ancient continental edges became fertile sites for major mineral deposits, while others with apparently similar geology did not.
Tech Xplore / Generative AI designs DNA origami to match user-drawn shapes automatically
A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that exactly match user-drawn shapes using generative AI. The generative design model, "Generative SNUPI," ...
Phys.org / What really controls water chemistry in nanoscale spaces
Water is the most studied molecule on Earth, yet a surprisingly basic question has gone unanswered for decades: When water is squeezed into gaps just a few molecules wide—as happens inside nanoscale pores, membranes and biological ...
