Tech Xplore / Highly performing AI agents can still fail to spot deception, study finds
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence systems that can process and generate texts in different languages, are now used daily by many people worldwide. As these models can rapidly source information and create ...
Medical Xpress / An immune signaling pathway drives pain in arthritis, researchers discover
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack body tissues, particularly joints, leading to inflammation, swelling, ...
Phys.org / A new entanglement-enhanced quantum sensing scheme
Over the past decades, quantum scientists have introduced various technologies that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, including quantum sensors, computers and memory devices. Most of these technologies leverage ...
Phys.org / Microwave quantum network shows resilience against heat-related disturbances
Quantum communication systems are emerging solutions to transmit information between devices in a network leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement. Entanglement is a quantum effect that entails a link ...
Medical Xpress / Trends in youth mental health from 1990 to 2021 reveal a pandemic-era surge
Adolescence, the stage of development between childhood and adulthood, is characterized by many profound physical, mental, and emotional changes. During this critical stage, young people can experience various difficulties ...
Medical Xpress / Why some moments endure: Episodic memory encoding fluctuates with brain's theta rhythms
For almost a century, psychologists and neuroscientists have been trying to understand how humans memorize different types of information, ranging from knowledge or facts to the recollection of important events. Past studies ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineered spintronic device can store data in four different ways
Over the past decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop increasingly smaller devices that can store information reliably, even when they are not powered on. A promising type of non-volatile memory device ...
Phys.org / Do political social media ads influence the outcome of elections?
Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and X, are accessed daily by millions of people worldwide. In the weeks or months leading up to elections, many political parties use social media platforms as part of their ...
Tech Xplore / Communication-aware neural networks could advance edge computing
Edge computing is an emerging IT architecture that enables the processing of data locally by smartphones, autonomous vehicles, local servers, and other IoT devices instead of sending it to be processed at a centralized large ...
Medical Xpress / The Alzheimer's gut-brain link: How butyrate could curb amyloid-β buildup and inflammation
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in mental functions. Past studies have shown that people with AD exhibit a buildup of a protein called ...
Medical Xpress / Links between brain regions could predict the efficacy of antidepressants
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a severe form of depression characterized by a persistent low mood, hopelessness, disruptions in sleep and/or eating habits, as well as a loss of motivation and interest in daily activities. ...
Phys.org / Could a recently detected ultra-high-energy neutrino be linked to new physics?
Neutrinos are extremely lightweight and electrically neutral particles that rarely interact with ordinary matter. Due to these rare interactions, neutrinos can travel across space almost entirely unaffected, carrying information ...
Medical Xpress / Parthanatos pathway behind neuron loss in multiple sclerosis identified
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). This disease causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the protective sheath surrounding nerve ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain filters out 'expected' sounds: Orbitofrontal cortex study offers new insight
Humans and other animals gradually learn what sounds or other sensory cues in their surroundings are meaningful or potentially threatening. Via a process known as habituation, they gradually learn to ignore non-threatening ...
Tech Xplore / A bicycle robot that can drive fast and jump over obstacles
Experienced human cyclists can perform a wide range of maneuvers and acrobatics while riding their bicycle, from balancing in place to riding on a single wheel or hopping over obstacles. Reproducing these agile maneuvers ...
