Tech Xplore / New RoboReward dataset and models automate robotic training and evaluation
The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has opened new possibilities for the development of robots that can reliably tackle various everyday tasks. Training and evaluating these algorithms, however, typically ...
Medical Xpress / Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals
Each year, more than two million people die from advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). Previous research has linked gut microbiome disruptions to this condition and suggested that bacteria typically found in the mouth may ...
Tech Xplore / Robot learns to lip sync by watching YouTube
Almost half of our attention during face-to-face conversation focuses on lip motion. Yet, robots still struggle to move their lips correctly. Even the most advanced humanoids make little more than muppet mouth gestures—if ...
Phys.org / Mummified cheetahs found in Saudi caves shed light on lost populations
Scientists have uncovered the mummified remains of cheetahs from caves in northern Saudi Arabia.
Phys.org / Perovskite display technology demonstrates record efficiency and industry-level operational lifetime
A research team has developed a hierarchical-shell perovskite nanocrystal technology that simultaneously overcomes the long-standing instability of metal-halide perovskite emitters while achieving record-breaking quantum ...
Phys.org / New microscopy technique preserves the cell's natural conditions
Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, published in Optics Letters, ...
Medical Xpress / Parenthood 'inoculates' adults against disgust, new study reveals
From diaper changes to nursing care, exposure to unpleasant substances is a daily reality for millions of people, but how does the brain adapt? New research from neuroscientists at the University of Bristol reveals that repeated, ...
Phys.org / Hidden magma oceans could shield rocky exoplanets from harmful radiation
Deep beneath the surface of distant exoplanets known as super-Earths, oceans of molten rock may be doing something extraordinary: powering magnetic fields strong enough to shield entire planets from dangerous cosmic radiation ...
Phys.org / Do-it-yourself ammonia production: Renewable-powered system uses calcium to reduce emissions and scale for farmers
The last time you scrubbed a streaky window or polished a porcelain appliance, you probably used a chemical called ammonia.
Phys.org / New spectroscopic method reveals ion's complex nuclear structure
Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among them, the atomic ion 173Yb+ has attracted growing interest because of its particularly rich energy ...
Phys.org / Utah's other Great Salt Lake is underground, ancient, deep....and fresh
Under the Great Salt Lake playa lies a potentially vast reservoir of pressurized freshwater that has accumulated over thousands of years from mountain-derived snowmelt, according to new research from University of Utah geoscientists. ...
Phys.org / How prolonged maternal care in horses builds better brains and improves social skills
As with humans, the maternal bond in nature is important for animals to find their way in the world. In mammals, a mother does not just provide milk; she also teaches her offspring survival skills and how to play well with ...
