Phys.org / Can computers learn what makes the most iconic jazz musicians stand out?
Machine learning models can identify jazz pianists from recordings and reveal the musical "fingerprints" that make individual performers recognizable, according to a study investigating 20 famous jazz pianists. The research, ...
Phys.org / Molecular electromagnetic sensor may enable remote-controlled gene therapy
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of living organisms contains regulatory elements that control when, where and to what extent specific genes are turned on or off. They can be co-opted to create "gene switches" that hold significant ...
Phys.org / Stellar explosions come into focus with new nuclear reaction measurements
In two separate papers published in Physical Review Letters, researchers investigated the nuclear reactions that take place inside supernovae and X-ray bursts—two of the universe's most powerful explosions. Together, the ...
Phys.org / Brazil's vast coastline could help address food insecurity through sustainable seafood
New research into seafood consumption and production in Brazil highlights how one of the world's most populous countries could build healthier and more sustainable food systems by encouraging people to eat more seafood, developing ...
Phys.org / World off-track on nearly every food system goal, latest assessment reveals
The latest study from the Food Systems Countdown Initiative (FSCI) reveals the stark reality of where global food systems transformation stands: for most indicators on health, environment, livelihoods, governance and resilience, ...
Phys.org / Observations since 1850 reveal regional climate fingerprints of human-induced warming
There is no question that the current global temperature increase is human-caused. Global warming has long since emerged as the dominant signal amid natural climate fluctuations. However, identifying how this warming manifests ...
Phys.org / Two eyeless shrimp-like species found in Japan's groundwater are new to science
Researchers have identified two new species in the genus Bogidiella, small shrimp-like amphipods that live in subterranean aquatic environments, from cave waters on the Ryukyu Islands, a subtropical island chain in southwestern ...
Phys.org / Breath-strip-like nanofiber film delivers three pain drugs in under two seconds
Children and seniors who have difficulty chewing and swallowing conventional tablets may have an easier way to find pain relief. Cornell researchers have developed an ultrafast-dissolving nanofiber film that can deliver a ...
Phys.org / Butterflies on the move to higher ground as warming redraws Alpine habitats
Climate change presents animals and plants with a fundamental challenge: What can they do when their established habitats become increasingly warm? They can adapt to the changing conditions—or move to areas where the climate ...
Phys.org / Anomalous quantum oscillations reveal new physics in a topological insulator
A study has been published in Nature Communications that identifies an unusual regime of quantum oscillations in a three-dimensional topological insulator. The results show that, when subjected to temperatures near absolute ...
Phys.org / How plants selectively silence jumping genes while protecting essential ones
Histone variants help establish DNA methylation at transposons (jumping genes) while preventing this epigenetic modification from spreading to essential genes in plants, a study from the Institute of Science Tokyo reveals. ...
Phys.org / Turtle travels: Researchers uncover different migration strategies among male green sea turtles
Florida State University researchers studying male green sea turtles off the coast of Brazil have discovered two distinct migration strategies, with some turtles traveling up to 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) after breeding ...
