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 ...
Phys.org / Scientists observe a 300-million-year-old brain rhythm in several animal species
Sleep is a universal biological state that allows all animals, from mammals to amphibians, fish and even insects, to restore their energy and consolidate knowledge that can contribute to their survival. Neuroscientists and ...
Medical Xpress / Recent sensory experiences adversely impact perceptual decisions, study finds
People's perceptions and their interpretation of the world are known to often be influenced by their expectations and past experiences. One well-established example of this is serial dependence, a bias that prompts humans ...
Tech Xplore / AI models mirror human 'us vs. them' social biases, study shows
Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored ...
Phys.org / Magnetic 'sweet spots' enable optimal operation of hole spin qubits
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various computational problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. These systems process information ...
Phys.org / Too much entanglement? Quantum networks can suffer from 'selfish routing,' study shows
Quantum technologies, systems that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some real-world problems faster and more effectively than their classical counterparts. In recent ...
Medical Xpress / What the brain's shape and complexity say about a newborn's development
The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow significantly in size, with billions ...
Medical Xpress / Psilocybin could treat depression via a non-hallucinogenic receptor
Psychedelics, psychoactive substances that alter people's perceptions, mood and thought patterns, have recently shown promise for the treatment of some mental health disorders, including depression and substance use disorders ...
Medical Xpress / A closer look at how local protein production is altered in ALS
The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of proteins. Proteins are synthesized both inside cells (i.e., in the soma) and locally along axons, projections ...
Phys.org / An electrically powered source of entangled light on a chip
Quantum technologies are cutting-edge systems that can process, transfer, or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, particularly a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Entanglement entails a correlation ...
Phys.org / A new nanorobot designed to improve immune cell recognition could help treat colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer, the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in the large intestine or the rectum, is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Available treatments for this type of cancer include chemotherapy, radiation ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning can predict patients' responses to antidepressants—while disentangling drug and placebo effects
Depression is one of the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, affecting approximately 4% of the global population. It is characterized by a persistent low mood, disruptions in typical sleeping and/or eating ...
