Phys.org / New approach reversibly configures single and heteronuclear dual-atom catalysts on MoS₂ substrate
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are materials consisting of individual metal atoms dispersed on a substrate (i.e., supporting surface). Recent studies have highlighted the promise of these catalysts for the efficient conversion ...
Tech Xplore / Vision-language models gain spatial reasoning skills through artificial worlds and 3D scene descriptions
Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to improve the capabilities ...
Medical Xpress / Autonomic nervous system is key driver of global fMRI signal, study finds
The activity of the human brain is known to be closely connected to other physiological signals, such as heart rate and breathing. A study by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and other institutes ...
Phys.org / A quantum random access memory based on transmon-controlled phonon routers
Recent technological advances have opened new exciting possibilities for the development of cutting-edge quantum devices, including quantum random access memory (QRAM) systems. These are memory architectures specifically ...
Tech Xplore / Training robots without robots: Smart glasses capture first-person task demos
Over the past few decades, robots have gradually started making their way into various real-world settings, including some malls, airports and hospitals, as well as a few offices and households.
Medical Xpress / How choroid plexus apocrine secretion shapes fetal brain development
The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the choroid plexus (ChP), a ...
Tech Xplore / Bio-mimetic robotic hand seamlessly integrates tactile feedback to outperform predecessors
Over the past decades, roboticists have developed increasingly advanced systems that can emulate some human capabilities and effectively tackle various real-world tasks. To reliably grasp, manipulate and utilize objects in ...
Phys.org / Searching for axions by analyzing X-ray observations of entire galaxies
The ongoing search for dark matter, the elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light and is estimated to account for most of the universe's mass, has not yet yielded conclusive results. Axions, hypothetical ...
Phys.org / Nonreciprocal light speed control achieved using cavity magnonics device
The reliable manipulation of the speed at which light travels through objects could have valuable implications for the development of various advanced technologies, including high-speed communication systems and quantum information ...
Tech Xplore / Novel analytics framework measures empathy of people captured in video recordings
Empathy, the ability to understand what others are feeling and emotionally connect with their experiences, can be highly advantageous for humans, as it allows them to strengthen relationships and thrive in some professional ...
Phys.org / Phase-resolved attoclock precisely measures electron tunneling time
When placed under a powerful laser field (i.e., under strong-field ionization), electrons can temporarily cross the so-called quantum tunneling barrier, an energy barrier that they would typically be unable to overcome. This ...
Tech Xplore / An active optical intensity interferometry scheme enables synthetic aperture imaging from over a kilometer away
Intensity interferometry is a promising technique that enables the precise measurement of spatial properties (i.e., distances, shapes and light properties) by probing fluctuations in the intensity (i.e., brightness) of light, ...
Phys.org / Study predicts existence of Type-III multiferroics, which exhibit ferroelectricity-driven magnetism
Multiferroics are materials that exhibit more than one ferroic property, typically ferroelectricity (i.e., a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by electric fields) and ferromagnetism (i.e., the spontaneous ...
Phys.org / General framework bridges quantum thermodynamics and non-Markovianity
The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems. Meanwhile, other quantum physics ...
Medical Xpress / Large language models excel at creating and solving emotional intelligence tests, study finds
Throughout the course of their lives, humans can establish meaningful social connections with others, empathizing with them and sharing their experiences. People's ability to manage, perceive and understand the emotions experienced ...
