New algorithm for quicker detection of antibiotic resistances
A team of researchers led by microbiologist Professor Dr. Axel Hamprecht of the University Medicine Oldenburg has developed a new method that enables quicker detection of a frequently overlooked antibiotic resistance. The team focused on determining.....»»
Cosmological models are built on a simple, century-old idea, but new observations demand a radical rethink
Our ideas about the universe are based on a century-old simplification known as the cosmological principle. It suggests that when averaged on large scales, the Cosmos is homogeneous and matter is distributed evenly throughout......»»
Novel algorithm improves understanding of plasma shock waves in space
Imagine the explosive disturbance caused by a jet going supersonic. A similar shock wave occurs when subatomic particles known as "solar wind" flow from the sun and strike the Earth's magnetic field. Now, scientists have used a recently developed tec.....»»
Einstein and Euler: Accelerating expansion of the universe and dark matter theories put to the test
The cosmos is a unique laboratory for testing the laws of physics, in particular those of Euler and Einstein. Euler described the movements of celestial objects, while Einstein described the way in which celestial objects distort the universe......»»

Astronomers have figured out clever tricks to reduce the impact of satellite trails
A clear sky is a prerequisite for most astronomers imaging the cosmos. However, with the proliferation of satellite trails, astronomers see a lot more streaks in their images. That's particularly true for people using professional ground-based and or.....»»
New algorithm cleans microbiome data with unprecedented efficiency
None of us are born with a fully functioning immune system, and the first few months of life are crucial for establishing strong lifelong defenses. Better understanding how germs influence the development of human immunology would reap innumerable be.....»»
People are missing out on job opportunities on Facebook because of gender, research suggests
Facebook-parent Meta is the subject of four new complaints from human rights groups in Europe alleging that the algorithm it uses to target users with companies' job advertisements is discriminatory. Nonprofit Global Witness shared new research with.....»»
AI system devises first optimizations to sorting code in over a decade
Writing efficient code was turned into a game, and the AI played to win. Enlarge (credit: Anas Photography) Anyone who has taken a basic computer science class has undoubtedly spent time devising a sorting algorithm—co.....»»
Researchers discover chemical evidence for pair-instability supernova from a very massive first star
The first stars illuminated the universe during the Cosmic Dawn and put an end to the cosmic "dark ages" that followed the Big Bang. However, the distribution of their mass is one of the great unsolved mysteries of the cosmos......»»
Migratory bats tracked for the first time ever using new algorithm
For the first time ever, researchers can track the movements of bats with the help of a brand new algorithm utilizing radar technology, created by the University of Haifa and Tel Aviv University......»»
Team develops novel algorithm for sharper protein films
Proteins are biological molecules that perform almost all biochemical tasks in all forms of life. In doing so, the tiny structures perform ultra-fast movements. In order to investigate these dynamic processes more precisely than before, researchers h.....»»
