Medical Xpress / Stomach-brain communication predicts emotional symptoms and well-being, study finds
Internal physiological states, such as digestion, breathing and heartbeat, have been consistently linked to mental, psychological and emotional experiences. This body-mind connection is known to be supported by interoception, ...
Tech Xplore / Artificial neuron merges DRAM with MoS₂ circuits to better emulate brain-like adaptability
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As machine learning algorithms ...
Medical Xpress / Two distinct microglia populations linked to autism-like and depression-like behaviors in mice
The anterior insular cortex (aIC) is an important brain region known to contribute to the regulation of emotions, the integration of bodily sensations, decision-making and some other functions. Past studies have linked this ...
Phys.org / MARATHON experiment offers most precise measurement of nucleon structure yet
Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet been fully elucidated.
Medical Xpress / Microglia gene activity shifts across Alzheimer's stages, revealing possible therapy targets
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressive memory loss and a decline in mental (i.e., cognitive) abilities. Statistics suggest that between 500,000 and 900,000 people are ...
Tech Xplore / Growth strategy enhances efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells
Photovoltaics (PVs), technological systems that can convert sunlight into electricity are among the most promising and widely adopted clean energy solutions worldwide. While existing silicon-based solar cells have already ...
Phys.org / A low-cost protocol enables preparation of magic states and fault-tolerant universal quantum computation
Quantum computers, systems that perform computations leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers in some optimization and information processing tasks. As these systems are highly influenced ...
Phys.org / Novel approach suppresses magnetic noise for the fast optical control of a coherent hole spin in a microcavity
Quantum technologies, devices that work by leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical technologies in some fields and settings. The so-called spin (i.e., intrinsic angular momentum) carried by quantum ...
Tech Xplore / Electro-optical Mott neurons made of niobium dioxide created for brain-inspired computing
Over the past decades, engineers have introduced a wide range of computing systems inspired by the human brain or designed to emulate some of its functions. These include devices that artificially reproduce the behavior of ...
Medical Xpress / Tracking anticipatory gaze offers new way to assess memory in silent patients
To assess and study human memory, psychologists have so far primarily used tasks that require people to verbally recall objects they previously saw in images, past life events or other types of information. While these tasks ...
Phys.org / New retina-inspired photodiodes could advance machine vision
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors and machine learning algorithms that allow computer systems to process and interpret images and videos. This tech-powered capability, ...
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. ...
