Tech Xplore / Reconfigurable AI device preserves long-term memory while acoustic waves reset short-term signals
A research team led by professor Il Jeon of the Department of Nano Engineering and the Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT) at Sungkyunkwan University, including Dr. Sihyeok Kim and Dr. Jang Woo Lee, ...
Medical Xpress / Dreams drain energy: The REM sleep paradox
The brain demands a lot of energy compared with other organs. However, it can also make do when energy supplies are scarce, flexibly processing information using what is available. How the brain resourcefully allocates this ...
Phys.org / More green space alone won't beat urban heat
New research from Victoria University (VU) reveals that reducing the impact of extreme heat in urban areas requires more than simply adding green spaces—it requires a different approach to urban planning.
Phys.org / Japan coral protectors race to save reefs from heat 'bomb'
From "heat wave simulators" to ecological boot camps, scientists and conservationists are trying ways to revive and reinforce the famous coral reefs off Japan's Okinawa, decimated by climate-driven bleaching two summers ago.
Phys.org / AI-powered camera system offers low-cost way to monitor bumblebees, potentially other insects
Researchers have developed a low-cost, semi-automated, AI-driven method that uses remote cameras to survey bumblebees and potentially other insects. The new tool could have important implications for efforts to conserve declining ...
Phys.org / Self-cleaning nanoscale sensor could transform personalized medicine
Imagine a smart bandage that could continuously monitor an infected wound, alerting doctors when bacteria spread or when treatment begins to work. That vision is one step closer to reality with new research from Virginia ...
Phys.org / Dynamic 'breathing' in nanopore structures can maximize efficiency of molecule separation and diffusion
Nanoporous material-based separation technology is vital in many applications because it can precisely distinguish between and separate nearly identical chemical or biochemical molecules.
Medical Xpress / Researchers find New Jerseyans want regulations around AI and mental health
Nearly 6 in 10 New Jersey adults support regulating how artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots interact with users seeking mental health advice, according to a study conducted by the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling, ...
Phys.org / AI models explain 17% of earnings-day stock moves, up from 5%
To explain the stock market's reaction to earnings results, investors and other market participants have used a standard tool for decades: the earnings surprise.
Tech Xplore / US bans foreign-made humanoid robots, targeting China over national security
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is banning imports of new foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters, citing national security risks, in a move that targets China. Beijing quickly accused the U.S. of protectionism.
Phys.org / A lipid switch that blocks anthrax from entering cells
Every cell carefully builds and positions thousands of proteins that allow it to sense and respond to its surroundings. Even small changes to these proteins often determine whether they work properly or are destroyed before ...
Medical Xpress / Resistance training activates the muscle repair machinery, study finds
Researchers from the Universities of Hildesheim, Bonn and Freiburg have uncovered how human skeletal muscle responds to resistance exercise at the molecular level. Their findings provide new insights that could help optimize ...
