Tech Xplore / Novel semiconductor neuron tunes noise to selectively process signals
In electronic devices, irregular fluctuations in signals are generally referred to as "noise." Because noise interferes with accurate information processing, conventional semiconductor technology has mainly treated it as ...
Tech Xplore / Interactive dashboard models Formula 1's race to net zero
As the IndyCar Freedom 250 Grand Prix arrives Aug. 22–23 in Washington, D.C., the George Washington University community has the opportunity to see up close how complex and resource-intensive a major motorsports event is ...
Phys.org / Phytophthora dieback linked to habitat loss and lower digging activity among quendas in Western Australia
A new study from Murdoch University has found that the introduced plant disease Phytophthora dieback is indirectly hindering quendas in Western Australia's jarrah forests by reducing their habitat quality and consequently ...
Medical Xpress / Music streaming linked to rise in traffic deaths
When a blockbuster album drops, streaming numbers may not be the only thing that spikes.
Medical Xpress / ULTRA maps glioma margins in 3D within 30 minutes
One of the major challenges in glioma surgery is that tumor boundaries are often difficult to define. Diffuse gliomas can infiltrate surrounding brain tissue beyond what surgeons can see directly or what conventional imaging ...
Medical Xpress / Implantable device may help restore function after spinal cord injury
Researchers from Houston Methodist and the University of Cambridge have developed a flexible device that wraps around the spinal cord and can simultaneously interpret multiple signals related to movement, sensation and internal ...
Phys.org / Nonrepeating photonic crystal may enable more tunable, reliable semiconductor lasers
Over the past two decades, photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) have shown promise as a type of advanced semiconductor laser useful in defense- and aerospace-related applications. Typically, these devices are ...
Phys.org / Climate change is driving some entire communities to relocate, but simply moving isn't enough
The abandoned houses of Old Podampetta on India's east coast tell the story of a small fishing village that no longer exists. Families once woke up to the sound of the sea and made their living by reading the tides and winds. ...
Phys.org / Mathematical model shows how birds create a synchronized dawn chorus
Every morning, groups of birds start singing and chirping around the same time, typically when the sun starts rising. While zoologists have been studying this collective bird behavior, called the dawn chorus, for decades, ...
Science X / Tropical cooling points to a world 5.4°C colder at the Ice Age peak
During the Last Glacial Maximum, tropical regions with lush vegetation would have looked completely different. The last Ice Age reached its peak about 20,000–21,000 years ago, and massive ice sheets covered parts of North ...
Medical Xpress / Waiting for a bed, but not for care: Emergency department boarding study finds wide variation in handoffs
Every day across the country, patients wait hours or days in clogged emergency departments for a hospital bed to open—a well-known crisis called boarding. Now, a new study published in JAMA looks more closely at what happens ...
Phys.org / We asked AI tools for financial advice: Results were practical, but with big blind spots
Ever used or thought of using artificial intelligence (AI) for financial advice? Is it a good idea?
