Phys.org / Solar wind storms may explain mystery surrounding Uranus' radiation belts
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists believe they may have resolved a 39-year-old mystery about the radiation belts around Uranus.
Phys.org / Tailored single atom platforms hold promise for next-generation catalysis
Catalysts play a vital role in modern society, supporting processes from metallurgy to pharmaceutical production. To reduce environmental impact and maximize efficiency, science has pushed the boundaries between homogeneous ...
Phys.org / Fish freshness easily monitored with a new sensor
To see if a fish is fresh, people recommend looking at its eyes and gills or giving it a sniff. But a more accurate check for food quality and safety is to look for compounds that form when decomposition starts.
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop thin film to make AI chips faster and more energy efficient
Addressing the staggering power and energy demands of artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of Houston have developed a revolutionary new thin-film material that promises to make AI devices significantly faster ...
Tech Xplore / Overparameterized neural networks: Feature learning precedes overfitting, research finds
Modern neural networks, with billions of parameters, are so overparameterized that they can "overfit" even random, structureless data. Yet when trained on datasets with structure, they learn the underlying features.
Phys.org / Researchers confirm new Rickettsia species found in dogs
Researchers from North Carolina State University have confirmed that a species of Rickettsia first seen in dogs in 2018 is a new species of bacteria. The new species, dubbed Rickettsia finnyi, is associated with symptoms ...
Medical Xpress / Brain researchers draw cellular blueprint for how we think and feel
A new study from experts with Georgia State University has achieved a long-standing goal in neuroscience: showing how the brain's smallest components build the systems that shape thought, emotion and behavior.
Tech Xplore / Mapping the cosmos of innovation: AI model charts the age and trajectory of 23,000 technologies
A team of researchers has built one of the most detailed open maps of emerging technologies yet assembled, allowing governments, companies and investors in the United States and worldwide to see what sits inside big fields ...
Phys.org / Discovery of new marine sponges supports hypothesis on animal evolution
A completely new order of marine sponges has been found by researchers at the Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University. The sponge order, named Vilesida, produces substances that could be used in drug development. The same ...
Phys.org / AI in the classroom: Research focuses on technology rather than the needs of young people
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT has arrived in classrooms and sparked an intense debate about its role in education. These technologies raise the fundamental question of which human skills will still ...
Phys.org / Newly discovered star opens 'laboratory' for solving cosmic dust mystery
Seventy light-years from Earth, a star called Kappa Tucanae A harbors one of astronomy's most perplexing mysteries: dust so hot it glows at more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, existing impossibly close to its host star, where ...
Phys.org / New study offers a glimpse into 230,000 years of climate and landscape shifts in the American Southwest
Atmospheric dust plays an important role in the way Earth absorbs and reflects sunlight, impacting the global climate, cloud formation, and precipitation. Much of this dust comes from the continuous reshaping of Earth's surface ...
