Medical Xpress / Psilocybin better preserves depressed patients' emotional response to music than standard drug, study finds
Depression is among the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, typically characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, a lack of interest in daily activities and dysregulated sleep and/or eating habits. There ...
Tech Xplore / Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates
People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the utmost importance, as they ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct neuron populations in the hypothalamus encode states associated with predator-related threats
The ability to detect imminent threats and execute behaviors aimed at protecting oneself, such as hiding, running away or defending oneself, is central to the survival of most animal species. A region of the mammalian brain ...
Phys.org / Results of the HAYSTAC Phase II search for dark matter axions
Axions, hypothetical subatomic particles that were first proposed by theoretical physicists in the late 1970s, remain among the most promising dark matter candidates. Physics theories suggest that the interactions between ...
Medical Xpress / Study uncovers gene networks driving the development of distinct neuron subtypes in the human cerebral cortex
The human brain is known to contain a wide range of cell types, which have different roles and functions. The processes via which cells in the brain, particularly its outermost layer (i.e., the cerebral cortex), gradually ...
Phys.org / Results of the first search for dark photons using a MADMAX prototype
While many research groups worldwide have been searching for dark matter over the past decades, detecting it has so far proved very challenging, thus very little is known about its possible composition and physical properties. ...
Phys.org / A recently realized ferroelectric topology in nanomembranes enables light field manipulation
Ferroelectrics are a class of materials that exhibit so-called spontaneous electric polarization, which is the separation of electric charges that can be reversed when an external electric field is applied to them. The dipole ...
Phys.org / A scalable approach to distill quantum features from higher-dimensional entanglement
The operation of quantum technologies relies on the reliable realization and control of quantum states, particularly entanglement. In the context of quantum physics, entanglement entails a connection between particles, whereby ...
Phys.org / New microwave-to-optical transducer uses rare-earth ions for efficient quantum signal conversion
Quantum technologies, which leverage quantum mechanical effects to process information, could outperform their classical counterparts in some complex and advanced tasks. The development and real-world deployment of these ...
Medical Xpress / Large-scale study explores lifespan changes in the human brain's functional connectivity
From birth to the last moments of life, the human brain is known to change and evolve significantly, both in terms of its physical organization (i.e., structural connectivity) and the coordination between different brain ...
Phys.org / Hours-long continuous lasing achieved using laser-cooled strontium atoms
Laser-cooled atomic gases, gases of atoms chilled to temperatures around absolute zero using laser technologies, have proved to be versatile physical platforms to study and control quantum phenomena. When these atomic gases ...
Medical Xpress / A comprehensive look at what happens in the brain when we're reading
Reading is a highly valuable skill that allows humans to acquire new knowledge, pursue an education and complete a wide range of real-world tasks. Many past psychology and neuroscience studies set out to better understand ...
Tech Xplore / On-demand Lewis base formation strategy boosts efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells
Solar cells based on perovskites, materials with a characteristic crystal structure first unveiled in the mineral calcium titanate (CaTiO3), have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional silicon-based photovoltaics. ...
Tech Xplore / System converts fabric images into complete machine-readable knitting instructions
Recent advances in robotics and machine learning have enabled the automation of many real-world tasks, including various manufacturing and industrial processes. Among other applications, robotic and artificial intelligence ...
Phys.org / Electrosynthesis of urea from flue gas achieves high efficiency with no ammonia byproducts
Urea, with the formula CO(NH2)2, is a chemical compound that is widely used in a range of sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and various industries. Conventionally, this compound is produced via a two-step process ...
