Tech Xplore / Google overhauls its Maps app, adding in more AI features to help people get around
Google Maps will depend more heavily on artificial intelligence to help people figure out where they want to go and the best way to get there as part of a major redesign unveiled on Thursday.
Phys.org / Ultrafast computing: Light-driven logic tops 10 terahertz in WS₂
The future for our computers will literally be at the speed of light. Extremely short light pulses can perform ultrafast logical operations: these are the findings of a study recently published in the journal Nature Photonics. ...
Phys.org / Researchers mix X-rays and optical light to track speedy electrons in materials
To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to understand how the valence electrons within materials respond to light at the atomic scale. Materials ...
Medical Xpress / Families invited to trial new ADHD sleep tool as research shows gaps in clinician training
Almost two-thirds of children with ADHD experience significant sleep difficulties, such as taking a long time to fall asleep, waking frequently through the night or waking very early. Researchers interviewed 15 specialist ...
Medical Xpress / Antibiotics can affect the gut microbiome for several years, study shows
Antibiotic treatments can affect the composition of the community of bacteria living in the gut, known as the gut microbiome, for a long time. A new study shows that certain types of antibiotics can be linked to changes in ...
Phys.org / 'Stealth' DNA circles safely insert gene-sized payloads into the genome
Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells. However, most genetic disorders are caused by dozens or even thousands of unique mutations spread ...
Phys.org / Childcare burden may explain US gender gap in poverty rates
Gender differences in poverty rates in the United States may be associated with women's differing circumstances—particularly the burden of dependent children—rather than inherent to gender itself, according to a study ...
Phys.org / First absolute dating of Paleolithic paintings in the Dordogne
A research team led by a CNRS researcher has for the first time accurately determined the age of the cave paintings at Font-de-Gaume (Les Eyzies) in Dordogne (southwestern France), according to a study published on March ...
Medical Xpress / Study shows link between ADHD and mental ill health in teens
Scientists have shed light on some reasons why young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder—known as ADHD—are prone to anxiety and depression. Young people with ADHD symptoms are more likely to experience ...
Tech Xplore / New model aims to keep remote robotaxi operators alert and ready
So-called "driverless" cars often have human operators remotely controlling the vehicles to help navigate tricky driving situations and avoid accidents. But this setup poses a number of challenges. How do you ensure the operators ...
Phys.org / Augmented reality job coaching boosts performance by 79% for people with disabilities, study finds
Employment can be a powerful gateway to independence, dignity, and belonging. Yet for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), that gateway remains limited. Although work supports better health, ...
Phys.org / 2D topological Kondo insulator observed in a moiré superlattice
When mobile charge carriers, also known as itinerant electrons, interact with the strong exchange magnetic fields associated with the intrinsic angular momentum of localized electrons, this can give rise to the so-called ...
