Phys.org / Identity traits sharply narrow who becomes friends or marries, model reveals
Our personal identity is composed of many dimensions, such as age, gender, ethnic background, or socioeconomic status. A research team led by Fariba Karimi from the Institute of Human-Centered Computing at Graz University ...
Tech Xplore / Direct CO₂-to-gasoline process reaches 50 kilograms per day in pilot plant
A Korean research team has successfully developed a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into liquid hydrocarbons such as gasoline and naphtha, achieving pilot-scale production of 50 kg per day.
Tech Xplore / Historic solar plane ends in Gulf crash after military test mission
The experimental plane Solar Impulse 2, which completed a historic round-the-world trip in 2016 without using jet fuel, crashed into the Gulf of Mexico recently, its owner revealed.
Medical Xpress / Meeting an AI doctor before a real-life consultation can improve cancer patients' understanding and reduce stress
Cancer patients who interact with an artificial intelligence (AI) avatar doctor before they meet their real-life consultant feel more knowledgeable and less stressed, according to research presented at the Congress of the ...
Tech Xplore / A single real-world data point may stop AI model collapse, analysis suggests
New work explaining the inner workings of artificial intelligence could provide a way around the threat of AI "model collapse," potentially averting growing numbers of AI hallucinations in the future.
Science X / Alarm bells fade: One pregnancy vaccine raised fears, but its earliest real-world test tells a different story
Questions about the safety of the RSVpreF vaccine, designed to protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), for both mothers and babies during pregnancy have fueled considerable debate. One of the key concerns ...
Tech Xplore / Designing better quantum circuits with AI
Researchers from the group of theoretical physicist Hans Briegel have collaborated with NVIDIA to develop an AI method that automatically generates efficient quantum circuits, a key bottleneck in making quantum computers ...
Tech Xplore / Electricity could produce cement with almost no carbon footprint
As the world works to alter the trajectory of climate change, most attention focuses on reducing humanity's reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Yet a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) is cement ...
Tech Xplore / Humans are bad at making complex decisions. AI can call them out
When a list of pros and cons won't cut it, a new decision-making tool developed by Cornell researchers can use artificial intelligence to help make difficult decisions. But there's a twist: Instead of checking AI's result, ...
Phys.org / 3D atomic rearrangement creates 40,000 quantum defects in 40 minutes
It's been 37 years since scientists first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are several techniques that ...
Tech Xplore / Prickly pear cacti show promise as the building materials of tomorrow
Researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Mechanical Engineering have shown that agricultural waste from prickly pear cactus plants could be used as a low-cost, low-carbon reinforcement for construction materials, ...
Medical Xpress / ALS is driven by a domino‑like chain reaction that begins in nerve cells, research reveals
Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease, live an average of only three years after symptoms begin, though some can survive closer to 10 years. What drives these differences in survival has ...
