Understanding how cells within and around a tumor interact provides key information about a cancer's architecture, a patient's immune response to the disease and even how susceptible the cancer may be to various types of treatment. But deducing these cellular "neighborhoods" using traditional techniques is time-consuming and expensive. https://phys.org/news/2026-07-inferring-multicellular-interactions-tumors-standard.html Cell & Microbiology Tue, 07 Jul 2026 11:40:01 EDT news702638952 A new study from Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), the University of Missouri and the University of Arizona has uncovered the word properties that make slogans effective, as the researchers found that the attributes that make a slogan easier to process lead to it being more likable but less memorable, and vice versa. https://phys.org/news/2023-06-reveals-words-brand-slogans.html Economics & Business Tue, 27 Jun 2023 16:52:46 EDT news607103560 A group of psychologists, two from Northwestern University and the third from the University of Oregon, has found via online testing that IQ scores in the U.S. may be dropping for the first time in nearly a century.

But still it is not used in daily practice. One of the reasons for this is that the processing of the raw data into useful insights takes a long time (several days for whole genome sequencing) and requires a lot of expensive resources (such as servers that need to be rented in a data center). https://phys.org/news/2021-12-software-optimizations-variant-faster-genome.html Biotechnology Fri, 03 Dec 2021 07:33:15 EST news557739189 Spintronic devices, a class of architectures that can store or transfer information by leveraging the intrinsic spin of electrons, have been found to be highly promising, both in terms of speed and efficiency. So far, however, the development of these devices has been hindered by the poor compatibility between semiconducting materials and ferromagnetic sources of spin, which underpin their operation. https://phys.org/news/2021-11-ferroelectric-spin-to-charge-conversion-germanium-telluride.html Condensed Matter Thu, 04 Nov 2021 10:00:01 EDT news555238460 Researchers and engineers from QuTech in the Netherlands and from Intel Corp., jointly designed and tested a chip to control qubits that can operate at extremely low temperatures, and opens the door to solving the "wiring bottleneck," an important step toward a scalable quantum computer.

The time for a new kind of notebook world is now, for Intel, and computing facets including touch, voice, and visual are seated under Intel's umbrella term, Perceptual Computing. Intel is promoting this idea as the way people will interact with their computers, and the accent is on the word interact. The keyboard and mouse retreat in the background yielding to gestures and face and speech recognition. https://phys.org/news/2013-01-intel-perceptual-neo-desktop-era.html Hi Tech & Innovation Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:32:27 EST news277363918 (Phys.org)—Never content to fixate on the next signpost on Intel's roadmap, Intel watchers are talking about what is beyond the Haswell processors toward its successor architecture, Broadwell. They say that Broadwell will not be offered as a land grid array (LGA)-based product but instead will signal a shift to a ball grid array (BGA). What this further means is that future Intel CPUs may come soldered to motherboards. This would mark the end to user -replaceable CPUs. Broadwell desktop CPUs will need to be soldered directly to motherboards. That places limits on users and system builders. https://phys.org/news/2012-11-intel-broadwell-cpu-swap-outs.html Hardware Fri, 30 Nov 2012 10:30:01 EST news273491703 (Phys.org)—Intel will introduce two NUC barebone computer models for the general public by next month.

One of the two models, the DC3217BY, has had a once-over review and there are reports that online retailers such as Amazon will be selling the tiny 4"×4"×2" computing devices starting at about $300 to $320. The little NUC is no way to be confused with a notebook or ultralight.
