Tech Xplore / 'Forgetful' AI semiconductor processes recent inputs without separate resets
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the "ability to forget" can serve as a new computational function for artificial intelligence.
Phys.org / Tourists rush to Mount Etna as Italian volcano erupts
Spectacular images of lava flowing down the slopes of erupting Mount Etna have drawn flocks of tourists to the Italian volcano—to the worry of local guides.
Phys.org / How to design a space habitat that supports its residents' mental health
In extreme environments, habitats are built for survival. Submarines, Antarctic bases and post-disaster dwellings are designed to prioritize health and safety. This is especially the case for habitats in space, where room ...
Phys.org / Bumblebees can learn to associate new smells with their queen
Bumblebees are able to learn to associate new odors with their colony's queen, instead of being preprogrammed to recognize the queen's pheromones from birth, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State. For ...
Medical Xpress / New miniature microscope allows scientists to watch and control brain cells during natural movement
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells during natural movement, ...
Phys.org / Mitochondrial proteins may trigger inflammation by mimicking bacterial distress signals
Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses of the cell. But their ancient origins may also make them drivers of inflammation. Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered that proteins released from ...
Phys.org / Sixteen AI-designed viruses offer a new route against drug-resistant bacteria
In a world first, scientists led by a team from Stanford University have created 16 viable viruses that do not exist in nature and were designed by AI. Their experiment, which is published in Science, could help in the fight ...
Phys.org / Why some male anglerfish parasitically fuse with females
Reproduction is central to the survival of all living organisms. Over millions of years, animal species on Earth have evolved a remarkable variety of mating strategies, ranging from physical fights with competitors to mesmerizing ...
Medical Xpress / Machine learning approach could bring greater certainty to prenatal genetic testing
Advances in genome sequencing are giving more families access to prenatal genetic testing and new information about an unborn baby's health, including whether genetic changes may be linked to a neurodevelopmental condition.
Phys.org / What if there's a star inside a black hole?
There is a question that often comes up at every public talk I do, and I have never had a good answer to it—well, not an entirely confident one. What's inside a black hole? The textbook reply is a singularity. Cross the event ...
Phys.org / AI‑designed viruses are a test of whether biosecurity can keep pace
Scientists have crossed an important line in biological engineering. In a recent study, researchers used artificial intelligence to design complete sets of genetic instructions for bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria. ...
Tech Xplore / Layoffs tied to AI hurt worker productivity, and the reason may surprise managers
Business leaders and investors face a deepening paradox: Companies are pouring more money into artificial intelligence than ever, but they're not seeing the productivity gains they expect.
