Phys.org / Turtles may migrate using Earth's magnetic field
New research indicates that sea turtles seem to navigate across hundreds of miles of open ocean using Earth's magnetic field. Previous experimental studies suggested that sea turtles use geomagnetism to navigate, but this ...
Phys.org / AI in policing: Safeguards can't keep up, new research warns
Artificial intelligence is being adopted across policing and the wider criminal justice system of England and Wales faster than the rules designed to govern it, according to major new research published by Northumbria University.
Medical Xpress / AI framework helps identify new targets for CAR T cell therapy
Leading CAR T cell therapy researchers have developed a human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence (AI) framework that centers scientists' expertise to find viable target antigens for CAR T cell therapy. The work was led by ...
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 ...
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.
Medical Xpress / Identifying immune pathways driving aggressive brain cancers
A new study has uncovered a key mechanism that helps one of the deadliest brain cancers evade the immune system, according to the study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Medical Xpress / Crash victims are 70% less likely to be transferred between hospitals in no-fault states
Patients with severe injuries from car crashes are about 70% less likely to be transferred to another hospital in states with no-fault insurance laws than in states with more common at-fault policies, reports a new study ...
Phys.org / Trios of quantum particles form checkerboard layouts when particle density hits sweet spot
Trions form when three particles, like quarks or electrons, come together. This formation occurs in quantum particles in nuclear physics, semiconductors and magnets, and understanding its behavior can be challenging. Rice ...
Tech Xplore / Plain-language AI workflow tool could cut cloud energy use and costs dramatically
Agentic workflows are artificial intelligence-powered software systems that chain together multiple models and external tools to tackle complicated tasks, like analyzing a video and answering questions about it. But the way ...
Tech Xplore / Energy-saving membrane can separate crude oil at room temperature
An international research has developed a membrane technology that could significantly reduce the energy required for crude oil refining by replacing part of the century-old distillation process.
Phys.org / Megacluster of bacterial genes reveals four antibiotics that jointly starve rivals of biotin
Researchers at McMaster University have discovered what they describe as a "megacluster" of genes in Streptomyces bacteria that produces four antibiotics that work together to stop rival bacteria.
Tech Xplore / Heat waves, air conditioning, and blackouts: Quantifying the real benefits of rooftop solar energy
Air conditioning is increasingly the go-to when heat waves strike. However, not only does this lead to more emissions, it also puts increasing strain on the electricity grid—even culminating in deadly blackouts. On paper, ...
