Tech Xplore / A computer in a liquid: Hundreds of oscillating particles compute complex patterns
Researchers at the Universities of Konstanz and Stuttgart have demonstrated a new approach to computation: a computer made from a few hundred microscopic particles oscillating in a liquid. Instead of processing information ...
Phys.org / Environmental bacteria ferry genes that boost antibiotic resistance over 10,000-fold
A patient with a severe infection is prescribed a potent antibiotic. Hopes for improvement are high, but just after treatment is given, resistance to the drug increases thousands of times. How could this happen?
Medical Xpress / Burden of myocardial dysfunction elevated for individuals with psoriasis
Individuals with psoriasis have a higher burden of myocardial dysfunction, independent of cardiometabolic risk, according to a study published online July 17 in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.
Tech Xplore / Novel method lets multimodal AI update knowledge without losing earlier information
Korean researchers have developed a core technology that allows multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) to reliably retain existing knowledge while repeatedly learning new information.
Medical Xpress / Traveling waves in rat brains give hints about information transfer in consciousness
How and why we experience consciousness is a question that has long plagued philosophers and scientists alike. We have come to understand that, when awake, our brains organize neural information for perception, yet we completely ...
Phys.org / Heat is coming for Hawaiian corals, but study finds there may be time to adapt
Since the first major bleaching event in 1996, Hawaiian corals have been subject to increasing heat stress and more frequent bleaching events. New research from oceanographers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa used high-resolution ...
Medical Xpress / Living in a neighborhood with traffic noise may increase Parkinson's disease risk over time
Loud traffic noise has long been recognized as more than just a disturbance; it is a significant public health concern. Prolonged exposure to excessive traffic sounds can contribute to a range of health problems, including ...
Medical Xpress / Brain cancer map uncovers thousands of hidden targets for personalized immunotherapies
Researchers from the Clinical Neuroscience Consortium (CNC), a collaborative platform jointly established by the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) and Queen Mary Hospital, in collaboration with ...
Tech Xplore / Prototype device polarizes light with heat for denser optical signals
Researchers have found a way to speed up components that control light polarization in optical communication and computing. Polarization is a property of light that can carry additional information along with the primary ...
Phys.org / How AI is helping states cut through decades of red tape
Bureaucracy moves slowly, and decades of outdated provisions clogging the bylaws of cities and states only make it worse. Sometimes dubbed "policy sludge," such obsolete processes and stale reporting requirements can trap ...
Phys.org / JWST captures rare glimpse of early black hole growing inside network of young galaxies
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured one of the clearest views yet of how an early supermassive black hole may grow within a network of young galaxies. The compact active galaxy, seen just a billion ...
Phys.org / Less cannabis use among adolescents, but social disparities persist
Past studies have shown that cannabis use during adolescence is associated with a variety of negative impacts—including emotional distress, adverse academic outcomes, and brain development and functioning—that can persist ...
