Phys.org / Great power rivalry is reshaping global supply chains, new study shows
Rising tensions between the US and China are changing how companies design global supply chains in strategic industries such as semiconductors and rare earths. New research shows firms are no longer just reacting to trade ...
Phys.org / AI generates short DNA sequences that show promise for gene therapies
Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments that can control gene activity in specific cells. These sequences, called cis-regulatory elements ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown mini-stomachs could boost understanding of rare diseases
Researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) have developed the first-ever lab-grown mini-stomach that contains the key components of the full-sized human organ. Known as a multi-regional assembloid, the pea-sized ...
Medical Xpress / Influence of environmental exposures in heart failure previously underestimated, say researchers
Whether heart failure develops and how it progresses depends not only on physical factors, but also on external influences and the duration of exposure, according to scientists at University Medical Center Mainz in collaboration ...
Medical Xpress / In WA, thousands are forgoing health insurance this year: Here's why
Ambrose Bittner, 63, didn't want to go uninsured. But the self-employed travel planner has been without health coverage since the beginning of the year. Bittner, who lives in Issaquah, is one of thousands of Washington state ...
Phys.org / Proposed new mission will create artificial solar eclipses in space
When a solar storm strikes Earth, it can disrupt technology that's vital for our daily lives. Solar storms occur when magnetic fields and electrically charged particles collide with Earth's magnetic field. This type of event ...
Medical Xpress / Gout medication may reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke
A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that medicines used to treat gout can also reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with gout.
Phys.org / What is dark energy? Research shines light on space's biggest question
Dark energy is still one of the greatest cosmic mysteries. For all the time, money and telescopes that humanity has used to uncover its nature, scientists are still asking a fundamental question: What is dark energy?
Phys.org / Nepal's green success story has a hidden social gap, research shows
In recent years, Nepal has been heralded as a global leader in community-based forest conservation. By handing over nearly a third of its nationally owned forest to local villagers in the 1980s, the country reversed years ...
Phys.org / Establishing a new QM/MM design principle based on electronic-state responses
A research team has proposed a new design principle for QM/MM (quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics) simulations. The approach enables objective and automatic determination of the quantum-mechanical region based on electronic-state ...
Tech Xplore / Artificial metacognition: Giving an AI the ability to 'think' about its 'thinking'
Have you ever had the experience of rereading a sentence multiple times only to realize you still don't understand it? As taught to scores of incoming college freshmen, when you realize you're spinning your wheels, it's time ...
Phys.org / Shrubs curb carbon emissions in China's largest desert, decades-long experiment shows
An experiment in western China over the past four decades shows that it is possible to tame the expansion of desert lands with greenery, and, in the process, pull excess carbon dioxide out of the sky.
