Though they perform well in jobs across domains, large language models (LLMs) need help with chemistry-related problems. These models’ limited applicability in scientific contexts stems from their ...

A surprisingly low amount of methane and a super-sized core hide within the cotton candy–like planet. Artist’s concept of WASP-107 b, a warm Neptune exoplanet about 200 light-years away. Image: ...

This finding raises more concerns over the potential impact of microplastics. Microplastics are produced when plastic breaks down in landfills and is exposed to UV light in the sun. Certain parts are ...

The telescope will probe the furthest reaches of the cosmos. Artist’s rendering shows the Extremely Large Telescope in operation on Cerro Armazones in northern Chile. The telescope is shown using ...

Physicists demo first metro-area quantum computer network in Boston. Robust entanglement between quantum memory nodes connected by fiber optical infrastructure is a significant obstacle to realizing ...

11% of women aged 52+ face gender discrimination, causing depression, loneliness, and poor quality of life. The findings suggest that perceived gender discrimination may be linked to declines in ...

The material could be made as a thin coating to analyze air quality in industrial or home settings over time. To create their detector, the team used a material called a metal-organic framework, or ...

Plants depend on Earth’s gravitational pull to direct their growth, react to environmental stimuli, and stay anchored in the soil. However, the exact chemical process behind this ability remains ...

New approach to predict the realization of band convergence in a series of materials. The research team's homemade energy conversion efficiency measurement device that can also measure the temperature ...

Supercomputers help show how groups of cells develop into wings. How a developing organ robustly coordinates cellular mechanics and growth must be understood to reach a final size and shape. A new ...

Realizing the upcoming generation of superior information technologies requires the large-scale production of high-performance electronics and photonics. The challenge of implementing quantum ...

Scientists have now discovered that aging clocks actually measure the increase in stochastic changes in cells. Damage to our cells’ building blocks causes us to age. Most of the time, this injury ...
