Credit: Daryl Ariawan A new review of research on cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) clusters by scientists from Macquarie University and the University of Oxford will provide a roadmap for biomedical scientists to develop the next generation of treatments for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Biological barriers such as … Read more
Remember that amazing ‘first image’ of the black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A) at the heart of the Milky Way? Well, that may not be entirely accurate, according to researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). Instead, the accretion disk around Sgr A* may be more elongated than the circular shape we first … Read more
A new non-peer-reviewed paper says that the equations of physics follow a formula of their own. The authors say their probabilistic idea can be used to help train physics machine learning. That said, their goals don’t match the actual use of AI. In a real head-scratcher, scientists have applied a word frequency theory to three … Read more
