Tech Xplore / A new dopant-pairing strategy can boost the stability of cathodes for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that move lithium ions between the anode (i.e., negative electrode) and cathode (i.e., positive electrode), are used to power most portable electronics on the market today. ...
Phys.org / A promising approach for the direct on-chip synthesis of boron nitride memristors
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, thin crystalline substances only a few atoms thick, have numerous advantageous properties compared to their three-dimensional (3D) bulk counterparts. Most notably, many of these materials allow ...
Medical Xpress / New insight into how the fruit fly brain creates spatial representations that support navigation
To move around in their surroundings in meaningful and goal-directed ways, a skill known as navigation, humans and animals rely on a series of complex cognitive (i.e., mental) processes. Navigation is also supported by the ...
Phys.org / AI-enhanced technique assembles defect-free arrays with thousands of atoms
The simulation of quantum systems and the development of systems that can perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical effects rely on the ability to arrange atoms in specific patterns with high levels of precision. ...
Medical Xpress / Human hippocampal neurogenesis shows unique gene expression patterns compared to other mammals
While the process via which different types of neurons are produced, also known as neurogenesis, has been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies, its genetic and biological underpinnings in humans have not yet been fully ...
Medical Xpress / Neural dynamics shed light on how the brain adapts to and suppresses fearful memories
Over the course of their lives, humans can sometimes acquire fear responses to specific stimuli, animals, objects or situations, typically following adverse experiences or traumatic events. Understanding the brain processes ...
Phys.org / High-fidelity entangling gates connect remote superconducting quantum processors
Quantum computers hold the potential of solving some optimization and data processing problems that cannot be tackled by classical computers. Many of the most promising quantum computing platforms developed so far are based ...
Tech Xplore / Contrastive learning framework can detect blockchain-based smart Ponzi schemes
Blockchain technologies are digital systems that work by distributing copies of information across several computers, also referred to as nodes, all of which are connected to a common network. These technologies underpin ...
Phys.org / A new perspective on how cosmological correlations change based on kinematic parameters
To study the origin and evolution of the universe, physicists rely on theories that describe the statistical relationships between different events or fields in spacetime, broadly referred to as cosmological correlations. ...
Tech Xplore / AI method reconstructs 3D scene details from simulated images using inverse rendering
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed many computational tools that can analyze and interpret images. These tools have proved useful for a broad range of applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, ...
Tech Xplore / Social experiments assess 'artificial' altruism displayed by large language models
Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships. Behavioral ...
Medical Xpress / Effortful pastimes are perceived as more meaningful than those requiring minimal effort, study finds
Past studies suggest that how people spend their time outside of work or academic endeavors can contribute to their overall well-being and life satisfaction. Yet how humans perceive different leisure activities that they ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-printed gyroidal solid oxide cells offer lighter, more compact energy solutions
Over the past decades, energy engineers have been developing a wide range of new technologies that could power electronic devices, robots and electric vehicles more efficiently and reliably. These include solid oxide cells ...
Phys.org / LHCb collaboration observes ultra-rare baryon decay
Baryons, composite particles made up of three quarks bound together via the so-called strong force, make up the most visible matter and have thus been the focus of numerous physics studies. Studying the rare processes via ...
Tech Xplore / Knitted textile metasurfaces allow soft robots to morph and camouflage on demand
Nature, particularly humans and other animals, has always been among the primary sources of inspiration for roboticists. In fact, most existing robots physically resemble specific animals and/or are engineered to tackle tasks ...
