Tech Xplore / Can AI ascertain our personality traits from our ChatGPT history?
Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini, and similar conversational platforms, are now used daily by many people worldwide. As these models can rapidly answer ...
Tech Xplore / Beyond borders: Metaverse manufacturing envisions AI-linked local production built on digital twins
Over the past decades, technological advances have fueled great innovation in a wide range of fields. Emerging and rapidly developing technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) systems, three-dimensional (3D) and ...
Phys.org / Babies may share adults' sense of beauty, and it appears to sharpen with age
Humans tend to be captured by things around them that they perceive as pleasurable and aesthetically pleasing. This "sense of beauty" has been widely studied extensively, mostly in experiments that involved adult participants.
Medical Xpress / Family data reveal two genetic paths to childhood depression and anxiety
Many common mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety, are associated with a tendency to internalize problems or, in other words, to direct feelings inwards instead of expressing them and sharing them with ...
Medical Xpress / Lithium not working? Large-scale study highlights favorable treatment strategies for bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition estimated to affect between 1% and 3% of people worldwide. Its main symptoms include extreme mood swings, ranging from periods of high activity and emotional high (i.e., mania) ...
Phys.org / Bees can detect viruses in food sources, but don't necessarily avoid them
The ability to detect viruses and other harmful pathogens is highly advantageous for animals, as it can guide their behavior and prevent them from illness, and—in severe cases—death. When it comes to species that live in ...
Phys.org / Dinosaurs may have originated 10 million years earlier than fossils show
Dinosaurs are among the most majestic and iconic animals to have ever walked on our planet. While they are now extinct, they are estimated to have inhabited Earth for over 165 million years.
Medical Xpress / Cell-by-cell analysis uncovers 345 risk genes across six neuropsychiatric disorders
The emergence of neuropsychiatric disorders, conditions that affect various brain functions and behaviors, is known to be driven by an intricate combination of factors. These can include both a genetic predisposition and ...
Medical Xpress / Still moments reveal how the brain links distant places during learning
When the brain encodes and consolidates memories, it often connects related experiences that happened in different places and at different times. The neural processes that contribute to linking different meaningful experiences, ...
Phys.org / Frozen-in gravity: A new way to understand the evolution of spacetime dynamics
The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many physicists worldwide. Spacetime is described mathematically as a four-dimensional (4D) continuum ...
Science X / Personalized brain-training approach goes after one of depression's hardest-to-break loops
Depression is a debilitating mental health disorder characterized by persistent low mood, a loss of interest in everyday activities, repetitive negative thinking and possible changes in appetite and/or sleeping patterns. ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired approach can teach AI to doubt itself just enough to avoid overconfidence
Most contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems learn to complete tasks via machine learning and deep learning. Machine learning is a computational approach that allows models to uncover patterns in data that are useful ...
Phys.org / Levitated nano-ferromagnet confirms a 160-year-old physical prediction
Ferromagnets, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, are materials with a strong, spontaneous, and permanent magnetic field. Over 150 years ago, the physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell speculated that under specific ...
Medical Xpress / Glioblastoma mapping uncovers four recurring tumor cell communities, revealing treatment targets
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer that is known to be very difficult to treat. One reason why this type of cancer is often resistant to available treatments is that it is characterized by a highly diverse ...
