Phys.org / AI model maps building emissions to support fairer climate policies
An open-source artificial intelligence model to accurately map the carbon emissions of buildings across multiple cities could become a powerful new tool to help policymakers plan targeted and equitable decarbonization strategies.
Phys.org / How migratory locusts balance aggregation and repulsion via olfactory neural modulation
In the natural world, animals rely on perceiving a range of signals to survive—and for insects, olfactory cues are particularly critical. These scents guide them to vital resources like mates, food, and egg-laying sites, ...
Medical Xpress / AI detects early prostate cancer in more than 80% of samples missed by pathologists
Men assessed as healthy after a pathologist analyzes their tissue sample may still have an early form of prostate cancer. Using AI, researchers at Uppsala University have been able to find subtle tissue changes that allow ...
Phys.org / Advanced computer modeling predicts molecular-qubit performance
A qubit is the delicate, information-processing heart of a quantum device. In the coming decades, advances in quantum information are expected to give us computers with new, powerful capabilities and detectors that can pick ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping fat: How microfluidics and mass spectrometry reveal lipid landscapes
Understanding how fat molecules are distributed and function in living organisms is key to uncovering mechanisms of aging, disease, and metabolism. Caenorhabditis elegans, a transparent roundworm, is a widely used model for ...
Phys.org / New AI model advances fusion power research by predicting the success of experiments
Practical fusion power that can provide cheap, clean energy could be a step closer thanks to artificial intelligence. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a deep learning model that accurately ...
Phys.org / Previously unknown peptide sheds light on how tomato plants regulate their defenses
Tomato plants possess a sophisticated system to protect themselves against herbivores: the signaling peptide Systemin triggers a cascade of plant defense responses.
Phys.org / For apes, out of sight isn't out of mind: Bonobos can mentally track multiple members of their social circle
A series of hide-and-seek experiments with a bonobo named Kanzi shows for the first time that apes can mentally keep track of multiple familiar humans at once, even when they are out of sight.
Tech Xplore / Soft skin, sharp senses: New robotic 'touch' sees danger before it hits
Robots are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday environments—from homes and hospitals to factories and farms. However, safely operating around humans requires more than strength or speed. Robots must also sense ...
Medical Xpress / An alternative to LASIK—without the lasers
Millions of Americans have altered vision, ranging from blurriness to blindness. But not everyone wants to wear prescription glasses or contact lenses. Accordingly, hundreds of thousands of people undergo corrective eye surgery ...
Phys.org / Hydrogen storage in perovskite crystals maximized using mechanochemistry
Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out the amount of hydrogen that can be stored in perovskite crystalline powder. The trick is to introduce ...
Phys.org / Employees more likely to 'quiet quit' when feeling less control, study finds
Ever felt like doing a bare minimum at work? Not investing any extra effort, not going any extra mile? You aren't alone. That's a known workplace phenomenon. It's called quiet quitting.
