Tech Xplore / Human brain and AI speech recognition decode speech in similar step-by-step stages, study finds
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process human speech in different languages. The extent to which these models replicate the brain processes ...
Phys.org / Scalable quantum batteries can charge faster than their classical counterparts
Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and maintain their performance for longer. In recent years, some researchers have ...
Phys.org / Precisely measuring quantum signals in large spin ensembles
Quantum mechanical effects are known to be easily disrupted by disturbances from the surrounding environment, commonly referred to as noise. To minimize these disturbances, physicists often study these effects in small and ...
Medical Xpress / The timing of rewards plays a key role in learning, study finds
For almost a century, psychology and neuroscience researchers have been trying to understand the processes via which humans and other animals acquire new skills or learn to deal with specific situations. One well-known and ...
Phys.org / 2D topological Kondo insulator observed in a moiré superlattice
When mobile charge carriers, also known as itinerant electrons, interact with the strong exchange magnetic fields associated with the intrinsic angular momentum of localized electrons, this can give rise to the so-called ...
Medical Xpress / Mouse study sheds light on how the brain recognizes stable patterns in changing scenes
Humans and many other animals can innately recognize familiar objects in their surroundings, irrespective of the angle they are observed from, changes in lighting or other shifts in the surrounding environment. This ability ...
Phys.org / 'Superconducting dome' hints at high-temperature superconductivity in thin nickelate films
Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of magnetic fields at low temperatures below a critical point. Superconductors, materials in which this state ...
Medical Xpress / An AI-informed model of human reward-based learning: Hybrid approach could aid studies of mood disorders
People's decisions are known to be influenced by past experiences, including the outcomes of earlier choices. For over a century, psychologists have been trying to shed light on the processes underpinning human decision-making ...
Tech Xplore / Liquid-metal pupil helps an artificial eye adapt to sudden light changes
Computer vision technologies are artificial intelligence (AI)-powered systems that can capture, analyze, and interpret visual data captured from real-world environments. While these systems are now widely used, many of them ...
Phys.org / A superradiant clock phase emerges when Rydberg atoms meet quantum light, simulations suggest
Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and develop quantum technologies, ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robots master parkour and acquire human-like agility
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a human-like body structure, have the potential of tackling various real-world tasks that are currently being completed by humans. In recent years, many robotics researchers and computer ...
Medical Xpress / Better sleep could reduce anxiety in later life
As humans grow older, their emotional stability and sleep patterns can change significantly. For instance, some past studies have found that many older adults find it harder to manage negative emotions, experience higher ...
Medical Xpress / A closer look at the mathematical abilities of autistic people
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in how people learn, communicate and interact with others, as well as restrictive or repetitive behaviors. Many past psychology ...
Phys.org / Superfluids emerge in 2D moiré crystal formed from time, study predicts
Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time without constantly heating ...
Medical Xpress / Foundation AI model uses MRI data to predict multiple brain disorders
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are computational models that can learn to identify patterns in data, make accurate predictions or generate content (e.g., texts, images, videos or sound recordings). These models can ...
