Imagine a world where scientific research can be conducted by AI, all thanks to Large Language Models (LLMs). This study dives into the possibility of creating an autonomous simulation agent (ASA) that can handle everything from planning experiments to analyzing data and writing reports. The key her
Imagine a material that can switch between two magnetic states, like flipping a switch. This happens when the material gets hotter, and scientists call this the Curie temperature. Understanding this switch is tricky because it happens on tiny scales that conventional tools can't easily see. In this
Scientists have been looking into how a protein called chemerin might impact the benefits of exercise for obese mice. Specifically, they wanted to understand if reducing chemerin could improve how well the body responds to exercise by boosting GLP-1 levels. GLP-1, a hormone that helps control blood
In South Korea, impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol is stuck inside his heavily guarded residence. Why? Because investigators want to question him about a power grab.
