Tech Xplore / Signal-folding design helps neuromorphic chip slash AI energy use
Artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models (LLMs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), can analyze large amounts of data and rapidly generate desired content or identify meaningful patterns. However, ...
Tech Xplore / 'Touch dreaming' helps humanoid robots handle five tricky tasks with 90.9% higher success
Humanoid robots, robotic systems with a body structure that resembles that of humans, could soon assist humans with various tasks in household environments, manufacturing sites, hospitals and other settings. While some humanoid ...
Phys.org / Antarctic DNA offers vital clues to pinpointing rising sea levels
Researchers say accurately predicting Antarctica's impact on global sea levels is an urgent priority that can be achieved by analyzing the DNA of tiny land animals, pinpointing the continent's icy past to paint a clearer ...
Phys.org / New study explores effect of violent crime on individuals' mental health
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, more than 1 million violent crimes are committed in the United States every year. While data on the attacks, the victims, and the larger community abounds, rarely have researchers ...
Phys.org / How school songs shape children's environmental awareness: Lessons from Japan
The natural environment provides human society with essential non-material values, such as cultural symbolism and local attachment, known as "cultural ecosystem services." But can these abstract cultural values actually influence ...
Science X / Our ancient continents were built from sun-baked ocean leftovers, proving Earth was recycling long before it was cool
New isotopic evidence is rewriting the story of Earth's first continents. Imagine the planet nearly 3.8 billion years ago: a water world ringed by volcanic islands. How did solid continents arise in such an alien world?
Medical Xpress / Gap in treatment for adolescent cannabis users puts young adults at risk
Teens may turn to marijuana use for many reasons: curiosity, stress relief, peer pressure, help with mental health, or for the positive feelings of being "high." However, there is a difference between casual use and reliance ...
