Exposure to burn injuries played key role in shaping human evolution, study suggests - Phys.org
Humans' exposure to high temperature burn injuries may have played an important role in our evolutionary development, shaping how our bodies heal, fight infection, and sometimes fail under extreme injury, according to new research.
Electron-phonon 'surfing' could help stabilize quantum hardware, nanowire tests suggest - Phys.org
That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials at the smallest scale. The electronic flicker noise is often caused by interruptions in the flow of electrons by various scattering pr…
Glimpsing the quantum vacuum: Particle spin correlations offer insight into how visible matter emerges from 'nothing' - Phys.org
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that particles of matter emerging from energetic subatomic smashups retain a key feature of virtual particles that exist only fleetingly in…
When continents try, and fail, to break apart - Phys.org
Great things can come from failure when it comes to geology. The Midcontinent rift formed about 1.1 billion years ago and runs smack in the middle of the United States at the Great Lakes. The rift failed to completely rupture, and had it succeeded it would ha…
Regulatory grammar in human promoters uncovered by MPRA-based deep learning - Nature
PARM is a deep-learning model trained on data from massively parallel reporter assays to help predict promoter activity in different human cell types, design synthetic promoters and identify key features of regulatory promoter grammar.
Are There Ten Trillion Objects Like 3I/ATLAS Within the Solar System Right Now? - Avi Loeb – Medium
The latest data from the Hubble Space Telescope (reported here) implies that the radius of the nucleus of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS…
