Medical Xpress / Gold-coated microneedles can detect subtleties in how liver and kidneys process drugs in real time
Scientists have taken a giant leap forward with the development of tiny microneedles designed to detect subtle but critical changes in how the liver and kidneys process therapeutic drugs. The experimental technology, under ...
Phys.org / TikTok algorithm showed a pro-Republican bias during the last US presidential election
TikTok's algorithm did not treat Democrats and Republicans equally during the 2024 US presidential election. According to a paper published in Nature, its recommendation system showed a Republican-leaning skew in three states. ...
Phys.org / A tiny world beyond Neptune has an atmosphere that shouldn't exist
A team of professional and amateur Japanese astronomers have found evidence for a thin atmosphere around a small body in the outer solar system. The object is so small that it should not have a sustainable atmosphere, raising ...
Phys.org / Urban trees cool the world's cities more than we thought—but we can't rely on them alone
Cities and towns are usually 1–3°C hotter than the surrounding countryside, because asphalt, concrete and brick absorb heat from the sun and radiate it slowly. Some cities can be as much as 7°C hotter. This effect is known ...
Science X / Tiny fossil teeth offer new hints about the evolution of deep-sea fish
The deep ocean remains largely unexplored, despite containing a large portion of the living organisms and animals on Earth. Among the many creatures populating the deep-sea are so-called Cyclothone, also known as bristlemouth ...
Phys.org / Introducing ecotech, nature's innovation accelerator
An international research team has developed a roadmap for an emerging field of technology called ecotech, which aims to create scalable solutions to urgent environmental, social and economic challenges. The team describes ...
Phys.org / We might have massively underestimated Io's thermal output
Io is a world of extremes. It is by far the most volcanically active world in our solar system. Being continually squeezed in the never-ending tug-of-war between Jupiter and its larger satellites will do that to a moon. As ...
Tech Xplore / A human-inspired pipeline could enhance the training of computer vision models
Over the past few decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can tackle some tasks exceedingly well. These include computer vision models, systems that can ...
Phys.org / Ancient sea fossils indicate millipede and centipede ancestors evolved their legs while still underwater
The myriapoda group of arthropods includes the many-legged centipedes and millipedes that most people are familiar with. Although myriapods are all terrestrial creatures, researchers are unclear about when and how they evolved ...
Phys.org / Spiral galaxy's brilliant heart shines bright in a new picture from NASA's Webb telescope
A spiral galaxy's brilliant heart outshines everything within sight in a new picture from NASA's Webb Space Telescope.
Phys.org / From flying discs to glowing orbs, these newly opened Pentagon files point somewhere stranger than expected
The Pentagon on Friday released a first batch of secret files documenting reported sightings of unidentified flying objects—some dating back to the 1940s—fanning speculation over whether alien life exists.
Phys.org / Scientists unlock fungi's secret chemistry, offering a greener path to crop protection
Pesky pests can wreak havoc on plants by chewing leaves, boring into stems, and sucking sap from trees. Beyond the direct damage, they also spread harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can infect and ultimately kill the ...
