Medical Xpress / New insight into the immune signals driving inflammation in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by nerve damage and consequent impairments in vision, movement, balance and mental function. In MS, the immune system mistakenly starts attacking myelin, ...
Tech Xplore / AI data centers could stabilize the power grid
The rapid development and widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is posing new challenges for electricity consumption. This is because most AI systems rely on data centers, facilities hosting several computing ...
Tech Xplore / One image is all robots need to find their way
While the capabilities of robots have improved significantly over the past decades, they are not always able to reliably and safely move in unknown, dynamic and complex environments. To move in their surroundings, robots ...
Medical Xpress / Bright light suppresses eating and weight gain in mice
Past research has found that exposure to bright lights and high levels of noise can alter both physiological processes and human behavior. For instance, an elevated or limited exposure to bright lights and noise has been ...
Phys.org / Language shapes visual processing in both human brains and AI models, study finds
Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also known as deep neural ...
Medical Xpress / A stress-related chemical could initiate symptoms of depression
Depression, one of the most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, impaired daily functioning and a loss of interest in daily activities, often along with altered ...
Phys.org / Fault-tolerant quantum computing: Novel protocol efficiently reduces resource cost
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on qubits, units of quantum ...
Phys.org / Searching for light dark matter by tracking its direction with quantum sensors
Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary matter. These characteristics make it impossible to detect using conventional technologies used by ...
Phys.org / Sunlight-driven nanoparticles enable cleaner ammonia synthesis at room temperature
Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in industrial settings. Among other things, it is used to produce fertilizers, as well as cleaning products ...
Phys.org / Physicists repair flaw of established quantum resource theorem
Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the past decades, researchers have introduced several new quantum information frameworks and theories ...
Phys.org / Hunting for dark matter axions with a quantum-powered haloscope
Axions are hypothetical light particles that could solve two different physics problems, as they could explain why some nuclear interactions don't violate time symmetry and are also promising dark matter candidates. Dark ...
Phys.org / Twisted light-matter systems unlock unusual topological phenomena
Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological properties, can contribute to the emergence of unusual physical effects in specific systems.
Medical Xpress / How gut bacteria could help to diagnose teen depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating psychiatric condition characterized by a persistently low mood, a lack of motivation, feelings of hopelessness, altered sleeping and/or eating patterns, and a reduced interest ...
Phys.org / Evidence of a quantum spin liquid ground state in a kagome material
Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely low temperatures. This ...
Medical Xpress / Why the human brain matures slower than its primate relatives
The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying to understand what is ...
