Phys.org / Lab study suggests longer waves fracture floating ice sheets at lower stress
When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the processes underlying these wave-induced ice fractures and predicting when they will occur could help ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired hardware uses single-spike coding to run AI more efficiently
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and various other online platforms, has grown exponentially over the past few years. Current hardware and electronic ...
Medical Xpress / Unveiling schizophrenia's neural and mental signatures with machine learning
Schizophrenia is a severe and often highly debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by distorted emotions, thinking patterns and altered perceptions of reality, as well as mental impairments. This disorder typically ...
Tech Xplore / New light-emitting artificial neurons could run AI systems more reliably
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that perform well on various tasks, including the analysis or generation of images, videos, audio recordings ...
Phys.org / A new method to search for ultralight dark matter with advanced optical cavities
Dark matter is a mysterious type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, yet is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While physicists have gathered extensive indirect evidence of its existence, ...
Medical Xpress / Procrastination in adulthood linked to brain development during adolescence
Procrastination, the tendency to unnecessarily delay or put off tasks even if this will have negative consequences, is a common behavior for many people. While occasionally delaying or putting off bothersome tasks is not ...
Phys.org / The first direct observation of a liquid charge density wave
Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside some solid materials. These patterns can change how electricity flows through materials, in some ...
Medical Xpress / Neuron position found less crucial for brain connectivity than once thought
The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the processing of sensory information, the encoding of memories, attention processes, and decision-making. ...
Tech Xplore / Emoticons can confuse LLMs, causing 'silent failures' in coding responses
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used by people worldwide. These models have proved to be effective in rapidly sourcing ...
Phys.org / People are swayed by AI-generated videos even when they know they're fake, study shows
Generative deep learning models are artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can create texts, images, audio files, and videos for specific purposes, following instructions provided by human users. Over the past few years, ...
Tech Xplore / Amorphous passivation strategy creates efficient, durable and flexible perovskite solar cells
Solar cells, devices that convert sunlight into electricity, are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, promoting a shift toward renewable energy sources. Most solar cells used today are based on silicon, yet ...
Phys.org / Mapping cell development with mathematics-informed machine learning
The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, or in other words, what ...
Tech Xplore / Origami-inspired ring lets users 'feel' virtual worlds
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are technologies that allow users to immerse themselves in digital worlds or enhance their surroundings with computer-generated filters or images, respectively. Both these technologies ...
Phys.org / Superconducting nanowire memory array achieves significantly lower error rate
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, will require faster and energy-efficient memory components, which will allow them to perform well on complex tasks. Superconducting ...
Phys.org / Particle permutation task can be tackled by quantum but not classical computers, study finds
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform classical computers on some complex tasks. Over the past few decades, many physicists and quantum engineers ...
