Phys.org / New thermodynamic framework explains pressure and edge currents in spinning active particles
Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), the Technical University of Darmstadt, Sapienza University in Rome and the University of Camerino (both in Italy) have calculated the fundamental laws of thermodynamics ...
Tech Xplore / Reconfigurable AI device preserves long-term memory while acoustic waves reset short-term signals
A research team led by professor Il Jeon of the Department of Nano Engineering and the Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT) at Sungkyunkwan University, including Dr. Sihyeok Kim and Dr. Jang Woo Lee, ...
Medical Xpress / Dreams drain energy: The REM sleep paradox
The brain demands a lot of energy compared with other organs. However, it can also make do when energy supplies are scarce, flexibly processing information using what is available. How the brain resourcefully allocates this ...
Phys.org / AI-powered camera system offers low-cost way to monitor bumblebees, potentially other insects
Researchers have developed a low-cost, semi-automated, AI-driven method that uses remote cameras to survey bumblebees and potentially other insects. The new tool could have important implications for efforts to conserve declining ...
Medical Xpress / Consumption of ultra-processed foods by fathers may influence their babies' birth weight and body measurements
A father's diet can affect his children's health and body composition before they are even conceived. A study of 43 triads of fathers, mothers and newborns treated in the public health care system of Ribeirão Preto in the ...
Phys.org / More green space alone won't beat urban heat
