Phys.org / Innovative clip-off chemistry enables fast and precise production of complex molecules
Researchers at the ICN2 and the UAB have developed a novel strategy to obtain different types of organic molecules by breaking down their molecular structures. This technique enables fast and precise production of these molecules ...

Phys.org / Mathematical approach makes uncertainty in AI quantifiable
How reliable is artificial intelligence, really? An interdisciplinary research team at TU Wien has developed a method that allows for the exact calculation of how reliably a neural network operates within a defined input ...

Medical Xpress / Genetic ancestry linked to risk of severe dengue
For the first time, the extreme variability in dengue fever has been linked to a biological mechanism, potentially opening doors to new treatments and vaccines for the most common mosquito-borne disease worldwide.

Medical Xpress / Gut microbiota play pivotal role in disordered eating tied to repeated dieting, researchers find
For the first time, the gut microbiota has been shown to play a pivotal role in the risk of disordered eating behavior stemming from yo-yo dieting. Researchers conducted a preclinical study showing that repeated dieting leads ...

Phys.org / Discovery in quantum materials could make electronics 1,000 times faster
Researchers at Northeastern University have discovered how to change the electronic state of matter on demand, a breakthrough that could make electronics 1,000 times faster and more efficient.

Tech Xplore / Using generative AI to help robots jump higher and land safely
Diffusion models like OpenAI's DALL-E are becoming increasingly useful in helping brainstorm new designs. Humans can prompt these systems to generate an image, create a video, or refine a blueprint, and come back with ideas ...

Medical Xpress / How a common metabolite worsens inflammatory bowel disease
Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified a surprising culprit in the progression of inflammatory bowel disease: a naturally occurring metabolic compound in the gut, according to a study published in Nature Immunology.

Medical Xpress / AI-assisted technique offers effective and painless breast imaging alternative
A Caltech-led team has developed a safe, effective, and painless breast imaging technique that incorporates machine learning to help differentiate between suspicious and healthy tissue. The method has now been tested on patients ...

Medical Xpress / Uterine cancer incidence and mortality rates expected to significantly increase in the US by 2050
While incidence and mortality rates for most cancer types have been on the decline in the United States, cases of uterine cancer increased an average of 0.7% each year between 2013 and 2022 and age-adjusted death rates increased ...

Tech Xplore / Brain-computer interface robotic hand control reaches new finger-level milestone
Robotic systems have the potential to greatly enhance daily living for the over one billion individuals worldwide who experience some form of disability. Brain-computer interfaces or BCIs present a compelling option by enabling ...

Phys.org / AI pinpoints promising materials that capture only CO₂ from air
In order to help prevent the climate crisis, actively reducing already-emitted CO₂ is essential. Accordingly, direct air capture (DAC)—a technology that directly extracts only CO₂ from the air—is gaining attention. ...

Phys.org / Yellow bacterial pigment provides new insights into cellulose degradation for biofuels and antibiotics
Anaerobic bacteria were among the first life forms on Earth and existed at a time when there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. While many organisms depend on an oxygen-rich environment to survive, anaerobes thrive in places ...
