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 / Mother-daughter bonds in red deer tied to survival and more surviving calves
Strong social networking plays an important role in human relationships. New research on female red deer shows that those bonds are also crucial for their reproductive success and survival. The study, which looked at more ...
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 / Plant-based material offers sustainable method of recovering rare earth element
Despite rare earth elements' importance in manufacturing cell phones, magnets and a host of other consumer and commercial electronics, the lack of a sustainable, environmentally friendly approach to obtaining these metals ...
Tech Xplore / What does 'flexibility' actually look like? New findings suggest speed limits for wearable devices
Flexible electronics are often sold on a simple promise: bendable screens, lightweight solar cells or wearable devices that can bend and flex without breaking. But what does that "flexibility" actually look like at the molecular ...
Phys.org / Quantum simulator reveals statistical localization that keeps most qubit states frozen
In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, it will eventually evenly mix. If you put a glass of ice water on the kitchen table, it will eventually ...
Tech Xplore / Choosing experiments randomly can help scientists develop better theories, new model reveals
The race to develop a virtual scientist—an AI creation that conducts every stage of research, from idea to publication—has consumed researchers, start-up founders, and tech juggernauts alike.
Phys.org / Turtles' brains shed light on evolutionary developments dating back hundreds of millions of years
A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting unexpected visual stimuli ...
Medical Xpress / Myopia is driven by how we use our eyes indoors, new research suggests
For years, rising rates of myopia—or nearsightedness—have been widely attributed to increased screen time, especially among children and young adults. But new research from scientists at the SUNY College of Optometry ...
Phys.org / A rethink is needed on zero-tolerance school behavior policies
Persistent concerns about poor behavior in UK secondary schools have led to the widespread implementation of disciplinary behavior management strategies. These include the use of isolation rooms, where children are sent to ...
Tech Xplore / 3D printing platform rapidly produces complex electric machines
A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a replacement part, they may have to order one from a distributor hundreds of miles away, leading to costly ...
Phys.org / Linguist explains how AI makes fake news more credible
Fake news generated by AI is often perceived as more credible than texts written by humans. That worries linguist Silje Susanne Alvestad. In 2017, "fake news" was chosen as the new word of the year by the Language Council ...
