Medical Xpress / Electrical stimulation of facial muscles influences how people perceive others' emotions, study finds
Psychology research suggests that the human body, particularly the muscles on our face, plays a key part in the processing of others' emotions. For instance, past findings suggest that when we see another person smiling or ...
Tech Xplore / New reconfigurable memristor-based system enables in-memory data sorting
Organizing data in a specific order, also known as sorting, is a central computing operation performed by a wide range of systems. Conventional hardware systems rely on separate components to store and sort data, which limits ...
Phys.org / LUX-ZEPLIN experiment sets more stringent constraints on cosmic ray-boosted dark matter
Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While theoretical predictions hint at its abundance, detecting this elusive matter has so ...
Tech Xplore / New scrubbing robot could contribute to automation of household chores
While the advent of robotic systems that can complete household chores has been widely anticipated, those commercially released so far are primarily robot vacuums that autonomously clean the floor. In contrast, robots that ...
Phys.org / Quantum internet moves closer as researchers teleport light-based information
Quantum teleportation is a fascinating process that involves transferring a particle's quantum state to another distant location, without moving or detecting the particle itself. This process could be central to the realization ...
Tech Xplore / New approach allows drone swarms to autonomously navigate complex environments at high speed
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are now widely used worldwide to tackle various real-world tasks, including filming videos for various purposes, monitoring crops or other environments from above, ...
Phys.org / Rabi-like splitting arises from nonlinear interactions between magnons in synthetic antiferromagnet
Synthetic antiferromagnets are carefully engineered magnetic materials made up of alternating ferromagnetic layers with oppositely aligned magnetic moments, separated by a non-magnetic spacer. These materials can display ...
Tech Xplore / Conversations between LLMs could automate the creation of exploits, study shows
As computers and software become increasingly sophisticated, hackers need to rapidly adapt to the latest developments and devise new strategies to plan and execute cyberattacks. One common strategy to maliciously infiltrate ...
Medical Xpress / Dietary intervention optimized using machine learning could lower risk of dementia
The term dementia is used to describe various debilitating neurological disorders characterized by a progressive loss of memory and a decline in mental abilities. Estimates suggest that over 55 million people worldwide are ...
Phys.org / The first observation of a giant nonlinear Nernst Effect in trilayer graphene
The generation of electricity from heat, also known as thermoelectric energy conversion, has proved to be advantageous for various real-world applications. For instance, it proved useful for the generation of energy during ...
Tech Xplore / Dexterous robotic hand integrates thermal, inertial and force sensors
While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans. This, in turn, adversely ...
Phys.org / Greatly enhanced nonreciprocal transport in KTaO₃-based interface superconductors linked to parity mixing
Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails the ability to conduct electricity without resistance below specific critical temperatures. One particularly fascinating phenomenon observed ...
Phys.org / A promising pathway for the electrical switching of altermagnetism
The ability to switch magnetism, or, in other words, to change the orientation of a material's magnetic moments, using only electricity, could open new opportunities for the efficient storage of data in hard drives and other ...
Tech Xplore / A chaos-modulated metasurface for physical-layer secure communications
With so many people using devices that can be connected to the internet, reliably securing wireless communications and protecting the data they are exchanging is of growing importance. While computer scientists have devised ...
Phys.org / A new mechanism to realize spin-selective transport in tungsten diselenide
Spintronics are promising devices that work utilizing not only the charge of electrons, like conventional electronics, but also their spin (i.e., their intrinsic angular momentum). The development of fast and energy-efficient ...
