Tech Xplore / Upsampling method sharpens AI vision with up to 16 times less GPU memory
From facial recognition on smartphones to humanoid robots, computer vision technology, which serves as the eyes of artificial intelligence (AI), is widely used in daily life. A joint research team from KAIST and international ...
Phys.org / Chandra tracks M87 black hole's evolving jet in finest X-ray detail yet
An international team of astronomers led by Camille Poitras, a Ph.D. student in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Laval University, has produced the most detailed X-ray view ever obtained of the jet launched by the ...
Phys.org / Lithium spike reveals sun-like star likely swallowed its planet
A team of astronomers, led by Brooke Kotten of the University of Michigan, has shown that TOI-5882—a sunlike star located some 1,300 light-years away—has likely eaten one of its planets.
Medical Xpress / How a flash of light could help the brain learn new skills
A new University of Otago—Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka-led study has put its own spin on Pavlov's dog experiment, shining a light on how our brain learns new things. The study, "The superior colliculus gates dopamine responses to ...
Phys.org / Cotton's roots traced to Yucatan Peninsula, where wild gene pool runs deepest
There's nothing like this in nature, Jonathan Wendel said as he showed a visitor in his Bessey Hall office the long white puffs billowing from a cotton boll—the protective flower capsule of the plant cultivated by humans ...
Phys.org / Revealing how and when a black hole's mighty winds can squash star formation
Thanks to the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, or XRISM, University of Michigan researchers are helping chip away at one of astronomy's cosmic mysteries: The universe's most massive galaxies appear to be missing stars.
Phys.org / Bringing ancient light-sensing proteins back to life
Resurrecting dinosaurs using DNA retrieved from a mosquito trapped in amber is a great movie plot, though it's less likely to happen in the real world. However, researchers have been trying to unlock the secrets behind the ...
Medical Xpress / With neuronal data, AI models predict grammar, meaning and context of spoken sentences
By applying machine-learning models to single-cell brain recordings taken from humans in conversation, a research team identified both individual and collective neuronal activity that reflected key features of language. The ...
Phys.org / Rare B meson decays tighten search for hidden particles and dark matter links
A University of Melbourne researcher has placed the strongest constraints yet on certain rare decays of subatomic particles, narrowing the window for where new "hidden" particles could be lurking.
Phys.org / New research finds major gaps between EU anti-deforestation rules and realities on the ground in Brazil
The U.K. could face significant challenges if it follows the European Union's lead and introduces tougher restrictions on imports linked to deforestation, according to new research from The University of Manchester. The study ...
Medical Xpress / Autism-related genes may share common path during early brain development
Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, yet the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it remain largely unclear. A new study published in Nature, led by Gaia Novarino at the Institute of Science and Technology ...
Phys.org / Mongooses prepare for likely future battles with powerful enemies, study finds
Dwarf mongooses anticipate encounters with rival groups and adjust how they move, communicate and defend resources beforehand, according to new research from the University of Bristol. The study, published in Nature Ecology ...
