Phys.org / Mapping the future: AI deciphers alloy microstructures to enhance properties prediction and design
In a world of 8 billion people, there's one thing that makes each of us unique: our fingerprints. A variety of genetic and environmental factors create tiny variations in the skin's ridges and whorls, such that no two prints ...
Phys.org / Sharper MRI scans may be on horizon thanks to new physics-based model
Researchers at Rice University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have unveiled a physics-based model of magnetic resonance relaxation that bridges molecular-scale dynamics with macroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
Phys.org / AI analyzes 300,000 hours of mammal calls to improve wildlife monitoring
A study published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution, used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze over 300,000 hours of vocal recordings of mammal species from Far North Queensland to southern New South Wales and discovered ...
Tech Xplore / WhatsApp security vulnerability discovered by researchers
IT-Security Researchers from the University of Vienna and SBA Research identified and responsibly disclosed a large-scale privacy weakness in WhatsApp's contact discovery mechanism that allowed the enumeration of 3.5 billion ...
Phys.org / Machine learning framework can scan for signs of extraterrestrial life
A machine learning framework can distinguish molecules made by biological processes from those formed through non-biological processes and could be used to analyze samples returned by current and future planetary missions. ...
Phys.org / Illuminating the messages that cells leave behind: Cells trek along vesicle 'breadcrumbs'
In stunning new time-lapse videos, biological nanoparticles scoot and flit across a starry field of glowing dots. Guided by the invisible chemistry of attraction, these microscopic travelers eventually group together to form ...
Phys.org / Quantum imaging settles 20-year debate on gold surface electron spin direction
Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have definitively resolved a two-decade-long controversy regarding the direction of electron spin on the surface of gold.
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop computer models for better biomass milling predictions
Turning materials like wood chips, crop residues and municipal solid waste into fuels and chemicals is important for our country's energy independence.
Phys.org / Collaboration completes richest observation run of gravitational signals to date
The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has completed the fourth observation campaign (called O4) of the international network of gravitational wave detectors. Launched in May 2023, the campaign ends after a period ...
Phys.org / Genomic study reveals gibbon evolutionary history and informs conservation strategies
Gibbons, small apes closely related to humans, face severe threats to their survival. However, their evolutionary history has remained unclear due to their rapid diversification. A new, comprehensive genomic study of gibbons ...
Medical Xpress / Looking good isn't everything: Researchers assess AI method for processing medical images
Artificial intelligence has exploded in popularity in recent years, and many proponents are excited about its potential uses in medicine: for example, processing samples quickly or identifying markers of disease that may ...
Tech Xplore / Security vulnerability identified in EV charging protocol
Southwest Research Institute identified a security vulnerability in a standard protocol governing communications between electric vehicles (EV) and EV charging equipment. The research prompted the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure ...
