Phys.org / Study tightens King plot-based constraints on hypothetical fifth force
While the Standard Model (SM) describes all known fundamental particles and many of the interactions between them, it fails to explain dark matter, dark energy and the apparent asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the ...
Phys.org / LLMs delve into online debates to create a detailed map of human beliefs
Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of the well-known conversational platform ChatGPT, have proved to be very promising for summarizing and generating written texts. However, they ...
Phys.org / Universal embezzlers naturally emerge in critical fermion systems, study finds
Embezzlement of entanglement is an exotic phenomenon in quantum information science, describing the possibility of extracting entanglement from a resource system without changing its quantum state. In this context, the resource ...
Medical Xpress / Brain organizes visuomotor associations into structured graph-like mental schemes, study finds
Graphs, visual representations outlining the relationships between different entities, concepts or variables, can be very effective in summarizing complex patterns and information. Past psychology studies suggest that the ...
Tech Xplore / All-topographic neural networks more closely mimic the human visual system
Deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are designed to partly emulate the functioning and structure of biological neural networks. As a result, in addition ...
Phys.org / True single-photon source boosts secure key rates in quantum key distribution systems
Quantum key distribution (QKD), a cryptographic technique rooted in quantum physics principles, has shown significant potential for enhancing the security of communications. This technique enables the transmission of encryption ...
Tech Xplore / Vision-language model creates plans for automated inspection of environments
Recent advances in the field of robotics have enabled the automation of various real-world tasks, ranging from the manufacturing or packaging of goods in many industry settings to the precise execution of minimally invasive ...
Medical Xpress / Eye-tracking exhibit helps map gaze behavior development across different life stages
Understanding how people visually browse their surroundings and direct their gaze in specific situations is a long-standing goal among psychology researchers. Past studies suggest that humans exhibit oculomotor biases, which ...
Tech Xplore / New system reliably controls prosthetic hand movements without relying on biological signals
The loss of a limb following an injury, accident or disease can greatly reduce quality of life, making it harder for people to engage in daily activities. Yet recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities ...
Phys.org / Atom tweezer arrays reveal how phase transitions unfold in mesoscopic systems
As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic systems (i.e., containing only ...
Medical Xpress / Artificial neural networks reveal how peripersonal neurons represent the space around the body
The brains of humans and other primates are known to execute various sophisticated functions, one of which is the representation of the space immediately surrounding the body. This area, also sometimes referred to as "peripersonal ...
Phys.org / Simulation reveals emergence of jet from binary neutron star merger followed by black hole formation
Binary neutron star mergers, cosmic collisions between two very dense stellar remnants made up predominantly of neutrons, have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies due to their fascinating underlying physics and ...
Tech Xplore / Benchmarking hallucinations: New metric tracks where multimodal reasoning models go wrong
Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced increasingly sophisticated machine learning-based models, which can perform remarkably well on various tasks. These include multimodal large language models (MLLMs), ...
Tech Xplore / A framework for realizing a microscopic, highly precise and energy-efficient quantum clock
Over the past decades, physicists have been trying to develop increasingly sophisticated and precise clocks to reliably measure the duration of physical processes that unfold over very short periods of time, helping to validate ...
Medical Xpress / Brain cortex structure linked to mental abilities and psychiatric disorders
The cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain, is the central driver of various human capabilities, including decision-making, perception, language and memory. Understanding how the morphology (i.e., structure and ...
