New AI method captures long-range atomic interactions in complex molecules
Researchers from Google DeepMind in Berlin, BIFOLD, and the Technical University of Berlin have introduced a new machine learning method—Euclidean Fast Attentio...
Ant supergene reveals surprising twist in evolution of social behavior
In the spring, ants are once again hard at work. Beyond their everyday presence, ants are also key model organisms in cutting-edge evolutionary genetics researc...
Pure mycelium shoe debuts in Milan with a load-bearing fungal sole
A prototype shoe made entirely from pure mycelium, the root-like network of fungi, will debut at Milan Design Week. The project is a collaboration between resea...
Stem cell embryo model grows yolk sac without hypoblasts or gene editing
For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell...
Antiaromatic molecules form rare 3.3 Å slip-stacked dimers despite like-charge repulsion
Aromatic molecules are known for their stable electronic structures. These molecules typically adopt planar geometries with delocalized π-electrons and can form...
Cambrian microfossils reveal earliest known ringed worms from 535 million years ago
Scientists have uncovered the earliest fossil evidence of annelids (ringed worms) in Cambrian microfossils dating back approximately 535 million years ago. This...
Why ultrashort laser pulses could make low-power electron sources far more practical
A new theoretical study finds shorter laser pulses achieve higher quantum efficiency for photoemission from a solid surface without increasing power or intensit...
Quantum gas resists heating under periodic kicks, revealing many-body localization mechanism
A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a striking quantum phenomenon: a period...
AI algorithm identifies cells across diverse biological images, cutting hours of manual labeling
Imaging is a critical technique in biology—from identifying cancerous cells in biopsies to observing how immune cells like macrophages hunt down and destroy pat...
A protein engineering method may lead to more exact cancer treatments
Enzymes called proteases act like molecular scissors for proteins in the body and play a role in therapies to stop viruses from replicating and to kill cancer c...
AI model accurately predicts the spread of wildfires in real time
USC researchers are developing a computational model that combines satellite data and physics-based simulations to forecast a wildfire's path, intensity, and gr...
Single mathematical model helps solve a decades-old puzzle involving ultrafast lasers
A team of international researchers, including an Aston University researcher, has cracked the code on how "breather" laser pulses work, creating a single mathe...
