Tech Xplore / Memristor chip merges memory and computing, cutting AI power use by more than half
With a simple click, your hastily taken photo sharpens, a garbled voice message turns into polished text and a chatbot drafts an email in perfect prose. Today's digital tools, enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), seem ...
Phys.org / Tiny insect brain discovery offers a blueprint for faster and more efficient AI and robots
The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains process information. ...
Phys.org / Even the most remote ocean is contaminated with zinc from human sources, research reveals
The vast, deserted South Pacific is considered unspoiled nature. But this ocean is not as unspoiled as we would like to think. A new study by a group of researchers from ETH Zurich and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean ...
Phys.org / What makes some couples bounce back from stress so quickly? New clues emerge from cortisol and partner behavior
How partners respond to stress may be as important as the stress itself, according to two new Canadian studies of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and nonbinary couples. Known collectively as sexual and gender diverse ...
Phys.org / Online echo chambers can arise even without algorithmic nudges or seeking like-minded people
A new study of online communities suggests that their interaction dynamics can amplify small, local imbalances in opinions, rapidly turning initially mixed-opinion communities into highly-polarized ones—even without the algorithms ...
Tech Xplore / AI fails to make inroads with cybercriminals, study finds
Cybercriminals have been struggling to adopt AI in their work, reports the first-of-its-kind study that analyzed a dataset of 100 million posts from underground cybercrime communities. The study is published on the arXiv ...
Phys.org / Dynamic catalyst interfaces offer a smarter route for converting CO₂ into formic acid
Electroreduction offers a promising route for converting CO2 into value-added chemicals using renewable electricity. Among the possible products, formic acid is particularly attractive because it is an important chemical ...
Tech Xplore / Majority voting method provides a smarter way to catch software bugs
Researchers from The University of Osaka, Kyushu University, and the University of Victoria have developed a new method called Majority Voting SZZ (MV-SZZ) that accurately identifies defect-inducing software commits. By combining ...
Medical Xpress / New GlyT2 blocker relieves chronic neuropathic pain without major side effects
Chronic neuropathic pain remains one of the most challenging conditions to treat, with current therapies offering limited benefit and being over-reliant on opioids. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), along ...
Medical Xpress / Brain imaging reveals migraine headache subtypes
They've been described as "brain on fire" or "an ice pick through the head." Migraine headaches affect more than one in 10 Americans, and they're so much worse than a regular headache.
Medical Xpress / Study reveals how parenting styles shape babies' willingness to help others
New research from Durham University shows that the way parents instruct and encourage infants to help plays a key role in how helping behavior develops, and that these approaches vary across cultures.
Tech Xplore / Renewable energy is more cost effective than direct air capture at reducing carbon, study finds
The case for investing in direct air capture weakens substantially once it is directly compared against solar and wind, according to an analysis published in Communications Sustainability. The paper is titled "Direct air ...
