Phys.org / Ion trap enables 1 minute in the nanocosmos
At the Department of Ion Physics and Applied Physics at the University of Innsbruck, a research team has succeeded for the first time in storing electrically charged helium nanodroplets in an ion trap for up to one minute.
Phys.org / Knock, knock... mapping comedic timing with a computational framework
Researchers propose a computational method to reveal the hidden timing structure of live performance. Vanessa C. Pope and colleagues present a framework, called Topology Analysis of Matching Sequences (TAMS), that algorithmically ...
Phys.org / Horses can smell human fear when we sweat
Horses can smell your fear. If you are experiencing this emotion while standing near a horse, they will be able to detect it through your scent alone, which changes their behavior and physiology. That's the conclusion of ...
Phys.org / Multiple autonomous AI systems spontaneously collaborate to advance materials research
A joint research team from NIMS and University of Tsukuba have developed an autonomous AI network technology that allows multiple autonomous AI systems to efficiently discover new materials by spontaneously collaborating ...
Tech Xplore / Why AI has not led to mass unemployment
People have become used to living with AI fairly quickly. ChatGPT is barely three years old, but has changed the way many of us communicate or deal with large amounts of information.
Phys.org / New method reveals quantum states using indirect measurements of particle flows
A team from UNIGE shows that it is possible to determine the state of a quantum system from indirect measurements when it is coupled to its environment.
Phys.org / Seismic 'snapshot' reveals new insight into how the Rocky Mountains formed
No one ever thought the birth of the Rocky Mountains was a simple process, but we now know it was far more complex than even geophysicists had assumed.
Medical Xpress / Exposure to wildfire smoke late in pregnancy may raise autism risk in children
Exposure to wildfire smoke during the final months of pregnancy may raise the risk that a child is later diagnosed with autism, according to a new study led by Tulane University researchers.
Tech Xplore / The sky is full of secrets: Glaring vulnerabilities discovered in satellite communications
With $800 of off‐the‐shelf equipment and months' worth of patience, a team of U.S. computer scientists set out to find out how well geostationary satellite communications are encrypted. And what they found was shocking.
Phys.org / Virtual staining advances: AI uses cell context to improve imaging accuracy
To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city where tiny parts called organelles move, reorganize, and respond to external stresses. To understand ...
Phys.org / Single Brucella species found to drive livestock infections in Cameroon
As part of its ongoing efforts to combat brucellosis, a serious and often neglected disease endemic to many low- and middle-income countries around the world, a team of researchers from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary ...
Tech Xplore / Soft robotic hand 'sees' around corners to achieve human-like touch
To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their manipulation strategies based on the objects they are working with, similarly to how humans leverage ...
