Tech Xplore / 'Learn-to-Steer' method improves AI's ability to understand spatial instructions
Researchers from the Department of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University and from NVIDIA's AI research center in Israel have developed a new method that significantly improves how artificial intelligence models understand ...
Phys.org / CT scans help detect ancient earthquakes in Hamilton Basin
In a world-first use of medical imaging technology, scientists have revealed the earthquake-generating potential of faults in the Hamilton and Hauraki areas. The study shows that hidden geological faults in Hamilton city ...
Phys.org / 'Boomerang' earthquake simulations suggest ricocheting ruptures may be more common than previously thought
An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists have observed quakes that reverse course, further shaking up areas that they passed through only ...
Medical Xpress / 'The munchies' are real and could benefit those with no appetite
The urgent onset of "the munchies" after cannabis use isn't imaginary—it's a cognitive response that occurs regardless of sex, age, weight or recent food consumption and could offer clues to help people struggling with ...
Phys.org / Machine learning algorithm fully reconstructs LHC particle collisions
The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly and precisely than traditional ...
Tech Xplore / 3D vision technology powers factory automation
One night in 2010, Mohit Gupta decided to try something before leaving the lab. Then a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University, Gupta was in the final days of an internship at a manufacturing company in Boston. He'd spent ...
Tech Xplore / Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions
It happens every day—a motorist heading across town checks a navigation app to see how long the trip will take, but they find no parking spots available when they reach their destination. By the time they finally park and ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists find a mechanism showing how exercise protects the brain
Researchers at UC San Francisco have discovered a mechanism that could explain how exercise improves cognition by shoring up the brain's protective barrier. With age, the network of blood vessels—called the blood–brain ...
Phys.org / Machine learning helps solve a central problem of quantum chemistry
By applying new methods of machine learning to quantum chemistry research, Heidelberg University scientists have made significant strides in computational chemistry. They have achieved a major breakthrough toward solving ...
Phys.org / Japan's ancient 'tigers' were actually cave lions, DNA evidence shows
There aren't any native lion or tiger populations living in Japan today, but this was not always the case. Fossil evidence indicates that at least one species of large cat roamed the archipelago during the Late Pleistocene—a ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists identify elders in Iron Age Israel through household artifacts
A new study from Bar-Ilan University is shedding light on a long-overlooked social group in archaeology: the elderly. While research on women and children has flourished in recent decades, older adults have remained largely ...
Medical Xpress / A more accurate measure of calories burned: Model interprets leg motion as expended energy
Though it might feel great to finish a workout and see "calories burned" pop up on your smartwatch, that number is often surprisingly inaccurate, with estimated error rates of 30%–80%. The watch's software makes its best ...
