Phys.org / How pointing fingers shape what we see in old master paintings
One of the most common human gestures, the pointing finger, appears frequently in Old Master paintings as a guiding cue. However, its influence on viewers' gaze has never been systematically investigated. Researchers in experimental ...
Tech Xplore / New 3D benchmark leaves AI in knots
Today's artificial intelligence models can't even tie their own shoes.
Phys.org / Signature of climate change: Nearly half of harmful wildfire smoke exposure linked to human-caused warming
Across the western U.S., wildfires and the dangerous smoke that results have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s—that much is clear. Surprisingly less clear are the exact reasons why: While greenhouse gas-related ...
Medical Xpress / AI model helps diagnose often undetected heart disease from simple EKG
Doctors may soon be able to diagnose an elusive form of heart disease within seconds by using an AI model developed at University of Michigan, according to a recent study.
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop real-time membrane imaging for sustainable water filtration
CU Boulder researchers have introduced a solution to improving the performance of large-scale desalination plants: stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
Phys.org / Femtosecond laser technique captures elusive atomic oxygen in water
A never-before-seen image of individual oxygen atoms dissolved in water has been captured.
Phys.org / Vital intertwining: Blood parasite's chainmail-like DNA structure could inspire next-generation materials
As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each other. Studying it can ...
Phys.org / High-energy photons drive conversion of greenhouse gases into high-value chemicals, no catalyst needed
Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful chemicals without any expensive catalysts, using only light.
Tech Xplore / How AI helps solve problems it doesn't even understand
Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems—without actually "understanding" ...
Phys.org / Storms in the Southern Ocean absorb more atmospheric heat than climate models predict
Intense storms that sweep over the Southern Ocean enable the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that today's climate models underestimate how storms mix the ...
Tech Xplore / Assumptions about battery failure challenged: Single-crystal materials require different approach than expected
New research from Argonne National Laboratory and the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) has solved a major battery mystery that has led to capacity degradation, shortened lifespan and, in some ...
Medical Xpress / Biodegradable dishes could transfer gluten to foods, posing health risk to gluten-sensitive individuals
Some biodegradable tableware is made with wheat straw or bran, ingredients that may contain gluten. Researchers have tested commercially available biodegradable items, reporting the initial results in the Journal of Agricultural ...
