Medical Xpress / A unified model of memory and perception: How Hebbian learning explains our recall of past events
A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, shows that distinct perceptual ...
Medical Xpress / Chasing a winning streak: A new way to trigger responses in the body by simulating psychological pressure
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed an experimental method to induce a strong physiological response linked to psychological pressure by making participants aim for a streak of success in a task.
Phys.org / Collaboration completes richest observation run of gravitational signals to date
The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has completed the fourth observation campaign (called O4) of the international network of gravitational wave detectors. Launched in May 2023, the campaign ends after a period ...
Medical Xpress / New survey shows 72% of adults struggle with sleepiness each day
Tired? Well, a new national survey shows that you're not alone.
Phys.org / Interpretable AI reveals key atomic traits for efficient hydrogen storage in metal hydrides
Hydrogen fuels represent a clean energy option, but a major hurdle in making its use more mainstream is efficient storage. Hydrogen storage requires either extremely high-pressure tanks or extremely cold temperatures, which ...
Phys.org / New monitor now operational in the Large Hadron Collider
A novel beam diagnostic instrument developed by researchers in the University of Liverpool's QUASAR Group has been approved for use in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator.
Phys.org / Team studies beryllium-7 variations over Antarctic regions of the Southern Ocean
Beryllium-7 is a radioactive isotope of beryllium produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere. A Japanese research team has explored, over space and time, how the beryllium-7 is transported from the atmosphere to Earth's surface. ...
Phys.org / Bird flu cases are on the rise again, including 2 million turkeys: Will that affect Thanksgiving dinner?
Out on his farm in Dundee Township, Cliff McConville sees geese landing in the fields where his turkeys and chickens graze. It's a sight that often unnerves poultry producers, as migratory waterfowl carry and spread a highly ...
Phys.org / Seal mothers care for deceased pups, exhibiting unique mammalian behavior in Antarctic predator species
A new paper by University of Rhode Island post-doctoral researchers Emily Sperou and Renato Borras-Chavez published in the journal Polar Biology discusses a unique phenomenon observed in a reclusive Antarctic animal: postmortem ...
Tech Xplore / Silicon, aluminum and lithium scarcity threaten green technology development
Silicon, aluminum and lithium are the most critical raw materials on Earth. Their scarcity and the complexity of extracting them could hinder the development of technologies that are key to the green transition. This is one ...
Phys.org / AI math genius delivers 100% accurate results
At the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), one competitor did so well that it would have been awarded the Silver Prize, except for one thing: it was an AI system. This was the first time AI had achieved a medal-level ...
Phys.org / Low-fat vegan diet can reduce an individual's greenhouse gas emissions by 51%
A low-fat vegan diet is associated with a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and cumulative energy demand (CED) compared to the Standard American Diet, according to research by the Physicians Committee ...
