Medical Xpress / White matter connections may drive adolescent cognitive gains, study suggests
Adolescence, the life stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood, is known to be a vital period for the brain's development. During this critical phase, people's mental abilities, including their problem-solving ...
Phys.org / New AI framework can uncover space physics equations in raw data
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for uncovering patterns in large amounts of data that would otherwise be difficult to detect. Over the ...
Phys.org / Spins influence solid oxygen's crystal structure under extreme magnetic fields, study finds
Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla (T), spins (i.e., intrinsic ...
Tech Xplore / New holography-inspired reconfigurable surface developed for wireless communication
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are engineered structures comprised of several elements known as 'meta-atoms,' which can reshape and control electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces could contribute to ...
Medical Xpress / Coordinated brain network activity during emotional arousal may explain vivid, lasting memories
Past psychology studies suggest that people tend to remember emotional events, such as their wedding, the birth of a child or traumatic experiences, more vividly than neutral events, such as a routine professional meeting. ...
Tech Xplore / New electrolyte helps all-solid-state batteries overcome long-standing 5 V stability barrier
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising rechargeable batteries in which conventional liquid electrolytes are replaced with solid materials. These batteries could help to safely meet the growing demands of the electronics ...
Medical Xpress / Precision medicine intervention found to ease symptoms of a depression biotype
Depression is one of the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, a loss of interest in everyday activities, dysregulated sleep or eating patterns and other impairments. ...
Phys.org / A new solvent-relay strategy to design better electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are currently the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, powering countless portable electronics, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. While they are known to have notable advantages ...
Medical Xpress / Holographic optogenetics could enable faster brain mapping for new discoveries
Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the brain's structure and synaptic connectivity (i.e., the junctions via which neurons communicate with each ...
Phys.org / Researchers realize a driven-dissipative Ising spin glass using a cavity quantum electrodynamics setup
Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible for all spins to satisfy ...
Tech Xplore / New diode chain could be used to develop high-power terahertz technologies
Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged by many existing technologies, including various imaging tools and wireless communication systems. ...
Tech Xplore / RRAM-based analog computing system rapidly solves matrix equations with high precision
Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that map math variables, instead of representing information using abstraction with discrete binary values ...
Tech Xplore / AI efficiency advances with spintronic memory chip that combines storage and processing
To make accurate predictions and reliably complete desired tasks, most artificial intelligence (AI) systems need to rapidly analyze large amounts of data. This currently entails the transfer of data between processing and ...
Medical Xpress / A newly-discovered mechanism could contribute to the therapeutic effects of deep brain stimulation
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that entails the delivery of high-frequency electrical impulses to specific regions of the brain, via surgically implanted electrodes. While it requires an invasive surgical ...
Medical Xpress / Oxytocin helps synchronize heartbeat and breathing, newly uncovered neural pathway suggests
When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down. Contrarily, when they are exercising or under psychological stress, both their breath and heartbeat tend ...
