Tech Xplore / AI and ultralow-energy lasers enable an ultrafast authentication system
The security of modern communications heavily relies on systems that can rapidly and reliably verify users and the devices they are using. This process, known as authentication, essentially entails confirming that users or ...
Phys.org / Leafy camouflage reshapes katydid love songs, making males more attractive to females
New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered that insects who conceal themselves as leaves also use their leafy camouflage to amplify mating calls, making themselves more attractive to the opposite sex. The ...
Tech Xplore / AI sorting could turn discarded clothes into new fabrics more efficiently
Huge amounts of clothing are simply discarded, and almost nothing goes to reuse or recycling. But with sensors and artificial intelligence, textile waste can be sorted so carefully that far more could be recycled—and turned ...
Phys.org / Robot fish could unravel how our ancient ancestors first learned to walk
Researchers have developed a fish-like robot that shows how some species of modern fish are able to walk on land, and could help unravel how early vertebrates evolved similar abilities hundreds of millions of years ago.
Medical Xpress / Genetic trade-off between youth and longevity uncovered
A new study identifies vgll3 as a key gene that promotes rapid growth and early reproduction while increasing the risk of aging and cancer later in life. The findings provide rare experimental evidence for the theory that ...
Medical Xpress / Activating specific neural circuits rescues autism-like behaviors in mouse model
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an innate brain developmental disorder that often manifests from early childhood. While genetic factors and differences in brain development are known to be involved, a definitive cure has ...
Phys.org / Home-sorted recycling produces higher-quality plastic bales with fewer contaminants, finds study
The quality of recycled plastic tends to be higher when the waste is pre-sorted by households compared with plastics recovered from mixed waste at a recycling facility in the Netherlands, research in Nature suggests. While ...
Medical Xpress / Heart rhythm monitoring with a smartphone could save health care resources
Smartphone-based heart rhythm monitoring from home can reduce same-day cancellations and help save significant health care resources ahead of planned electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation. This is ...
Tech Xplore / AI brings object-level vision prosthetics closer to reality
EPFL researchers are developing AI models that could one day enable vision prosthetics able to restore meaningful, object-level sight for the blind. The research, from the NeuroAI Lab of Martin Schrimpf, part of EPFL's Schools ...
Science X / As climate change redraws rainfall maps, some regions face a far greater flood risk than others
As the climate warms, heavy downpours are covering more ground—but where exactly? A new study puts the big-picture changes in context, and suddenly, it matters what region you live in.
Phys.org / 'Mini-Neptune' exoplanets may have smoggy atmospheres similar to diesel exhaust
The astronauts circling Earth on the Artemis mission sent back beautiful clear photos of the continents, clouds, and oceans. But we might be the exception. Many planets in the universe may be hazed in clouds of soot, according ...
Science X / Why does stress let your brain learn but prevent you from thinking logically?
The human brain is an incredible processor that can take existing knowledge, such as old memories and experiences, and weave it with newly acquired information to help us draw conclusions and make decisions crucial to navigating ...
