Medical Xpress / Inside the cerebellum, unique neurons predict the timing of future events
Humans and other animals constantly make predictions about future events based on previous experiences and their perceptions of the surrounding environment. This predictive process is described by a mathematical framework ...
Science X / After rapid weight loss, daily bacteria capsules may help curb regain and boost metabolism
Akkermansia muciniphila (MucT), a tiny beneficial bacterium that lives in the mucus layer of the gastrointestinal system, could hold the secret to keeping weight gain at bay after going on a low-calorie weight-loss diet. ...
Tech Xplore / Designing better quantum circuits with AI
Researchers from the group of theoretical physicist Hans Briegel have collaborated with NVIDIA to develop an AI method that automatically generates efficient quantum circuits, a key bottleneck in making quantum computers ...
Phys.org / Machine-learning method maps the uncertainty of biodiversity scenarios: The Bigfoot connection
To effectively protect biodiversity in an era of climate change, ecologists first have to know where animal and plant species are located and then be able to predict what habitats will be available to them in the future. ...
Tech Xplore / A single real-world data point may stop AI model collapse, analysis suggests
New work explaining the inner workings of artificial intelligence could provide a way around the threat of AI "model collapse," potentially averting growing numbers of AI hallucinations in the future.
Phys.org / Vocal fry stereotype unravels as men and older voices show more creak
Valleyspeak, uptalk, vocal fry: These are all examples of speech patterns generally assigned to young women and often stereotyped to imply a lack of confidence or intelligence. At least one of these assumed patterns, however, ...
Phys.org / Why marimbas cost so much and how hickory could change music classrooms
The pleasant, earthy sound of a marimba is a key component in the modern orchestra, but their high prices, ranging from $1,000 to over $25,000, sometimes make them cost-prohibitive for schools and students.
Medical Xpress / When words look like their meaning, we process them faster, new research reveals
Think about a word that looks like its meaning. For instance, the word bed kind of looks like a bed, with the vertical lines resembling the posts at either end. Loop looks very loopy.
Phys.org / Hairy new fish species discovered in the Great Barrier Reef
Swimming among the corals of the Great Barrier Reef is a fish that could be a doppelganger for the famous Sesame Street character Mr. Snuffleupagus. This bright orange-red, hairy, long-snouted ghost pipefish is a new species ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain switches between older and newer memories
As humans and other animals experience new things, their brains continuously update their memory of past events. These updates allow them to adapt to changing environments, all while preserving older memories that could still ...
Science X / Your blood may already know what illness comes next—long before symptoms appear, study finds
Predicting who will develop common diseases is key to prevention, detection, and early treatment. Traditionally, clinicians have estimated risk based on age, sex, laboratory results, and lifestyle factors. Although these ...
Phys.org / Satellite launch pollution is rapidly accumulating in the upper atmosphere
The potent pollution from so-called megaconstellation satellite systems launched en masse into space since 2019 will account for nearly half (42%) of the total climate impact of space sector pollution by the end of the decade, ...
