Phys.org / Ultrafast, highly reversible sodium storage in engineered hard carbon achieved
A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated ultrafast and highly reversible all-slope sodium storage using specially engineered hard carbon anodes.
Medical Xpress / AI brain scan model identifies stroke, brain tumors and aneurysms
A new AI model could help radiologists identify brain abnormalities in MRI scans for all conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis and brain tumors.
Tech Xplore / Overparameterized neural networks: Feature learning precedes overfitting, research finds
Modern neural networks, with billions of parameters, are so overparameterized that they can "overfit" even random, structureless data. Yet when trained on datasets with structure, they learn the underlying features.
Phys.org / Birds shift to higher mountain elevations in Europe as climate warms
Many bird species have moved toward colder areas in the mountains of Europe as the climate has warmed over the past two decades. Sunny southern slopes attract birds to live at higher elevations than do shadier northern slopes.
Phys.org / An adolescent growth spurt in young stars helps giant planets form
Stars form in massive clouds of gas called molecular clouds. As they form, they accrete gas from these clouds, and as the stars rotate, gas and dust accumulates in a rotating disk around the star called a protoplanetary disk. ...
Phys.org / Social justice must guide global ecosystem restoration for lasting success, say researchers
Social justice must be at the heart of global restoration initiatives—and not "superficial" or "tokenistic"—if ecosystem degradation is to be addressed effectively, according to new research.
Medical Xpress / New tuberculosis case detected in Northern California
An individual with contagious tuberculosis was recently identified within the UC Davis "campus community," the university said in a Dec. 2 news release.
Phys.org / AI in the classroom: Research focuses on technology rather than the needs of young people
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT has arrived in classrooms and sparked an intense debate about its role in education. These technologies raise the fundamental question of which human skills will still ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers call for clear regulations on AI tools used for mental health interactions
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can converse, mirror emotions, and simulate human engagement. Publicly available large language models (LLMs)—often used as personalized chatbots or AI characters—are increasingly involved ...
Phys.org / Using video games to get kids interested in learning
Though some might see video games as a distraction, a recent study from the University of Georgia suggests they can actually serve as a place to practice key science skills—with the help of some adorable cats, of course.
Medical Xpress / First seizure clinic speeds time to diagnosis with pediatric epilepsy
Children referred to a first seizure clinic (FSC) see a neurologist epilepsy specialist within one week, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society, held from Dec. 5 to 9 in Atlanta.
Phys.org / Time-delay cosmography may enable a speed camera for the universe
There is an important and unresolved tension in cosmology regarding the rate at which the universe is expanding, and resolving this could reveal new physics. Astronomers constantly seek new ways to measure this expansion ...
