Tech Xplore / AI decodes pianists' muscle activity via video
AI and human-movement research intersect in a study that enables precise estimation of hand muscle activity from standard video recordings. Using a deep-learning framework trained on a large, comprehensive multimodal dataset ...
Phys.org / Microplastics disrupt gut microbiome and fermentation in farm animals, study reveals
Microplastics, tiny plastic particles pervasive in agricultural environments, interact with and disrupt the microbial ecosystem in the rumen—the first stomach chamber of cattle, reveals an international study.
Phys.org / Sudden oak death pathogen detected for the first time in Minnesota nursery
University of Minnesota researchers detected the pathogen that causes sudden oak death in Minnesota for the first time. Sudden oak death is a tree disease that has devastated forests on the West Coast for decades and is expanding ...
Phys.org / South Korea's largest satellite launched on Nuri rocket in ambitious space mission
South Korea launched its largest satellite yet on its nationally developed space rocket early Thursday in the fourth of six launches planned through 2027.
Phys.org / 'Truly severe' floods overwhelm Southeast Asia
Authorities across Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia worked on Thursday to reach residents trapped in floods that have killed dozens of people across the region in recent days.
Phys.org / DNA shape and rigidity regulate key players of gene expression
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the physical structure and shape ...
Medical Xpress / New study identifies key mechanism driving HIV-associated immune suppression
Researchers from the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have discovered how a specific type of immune cell may contribute to the persistence of HIV infections. The finding offers ...
Tech Xplore / Moisture-driven power generator delivers stable electricity even in dry air conditions
As artificial intelligence (AI) and smart gadgets become more common, our need for reliable power sources grows. Renewable energy options like solar and wind are great, but they depend on specific conditions. A research team ...
Phys.org / Ancient seafloor lava rubble stores vast amounts of carbon dioxide, researchers discover
Sixty-million-year-old rock samples from deep under the ocean have revealed how huge amounts of carbon dioxide are stored for millennia in piles of lava rubble that accumulate on the seafloor.
Tech Xplore / Six criteria for the reliability of AI
Language models based on artificial intelligence (AI) can answer any question, but not always correctly. It would be helpful for users to know how reliable an AI system is. A team at Ruhr University Bochum and TU Dortmund ...
Phys.org / Cities missing out on nature-based solutions that could boost climate resilience, experts warn
With climate change expected to intensify heat waves, flooding and air pollution in cities worldwide, why are we not tapping into the full potential of nature-based solutions?
Tech Xplore / A new route to optimize AI hardware: Homodyne gradient extraction
A team led by the BRAINS Center for Brain-Inspired Computing at the University of Twente has demonstrated a new way to make electronic materials adapt in a manner comparable to machine learning. Their study, published in ...
