Medical Xpress / With neuronal data, AI models predict grammar, meaning and context of spoken sentences
By applying machine-learning models to single-cell brain recordings taken from humans in conversation, a research team identified both individual and collective neuronal activity that reflected key features of language. The ...
Phys.org / Reversible chirality switching in MoS₂ generates spin currents without magnets
A newly developed method allows researchers to dynamically switch chirality—a particular lack of mirror symmetry—to generate spin currents in semiconductors, researchers from Science Tokyo report. Their approach relies on ...
Phys.org / New swine influenza vaccination technique can greatly strengthen disease protection
Husker scientists have developed a new swine influenza vaccination technique whose low cost and adaptability can greatly strengthen disease protection.
Phys.org / Radar echoes from Europa reveal secrets beneath the ice
A team of scientists has used NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar and the U.S. National Science Foundation Green Bank Telescope (NSF GBT) to carry out the most extensive radar study to date of Europa, the ocean world orbiting ...
Phys.org / New heat-regulating fabric feels fluffy like cotton—but doesn't get wet
Once cotton gets wet, it pulls heat from your body. This is helpful when you're exercising or outside on a hot day, but dangerous in the bitter cold. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have created an ultralight ...
Phys.org / Dark matter cannot be ruled out as cause of gamma ray glow at the Milky Way's center, machine learning shows
An international research collaboration between the University of Vienna and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States has used machine learning to re-examine one of the most debated signals in astrophysics. ...
Phys.org / Semiconductor chip writes 64 DNA sequences in water, setting new enzymatic benchmark
Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and manipulate biology at scale—recording from many neurons, reading many DNA sequences and now synthesizing ...
Medical Xpress / Study finds ~15 percent of U.S. pregnant women report drinking in past 30 days
From 2021 to 2024, 15.2% of U.S. pregnant women reported drinking alcohol in the past 30 days, according to research published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Phys.org / Lava planet has hydrogen-rich, active atmosphere
It's 2158, and you're chugging away on your Ph.D. in planetary volcanology from the University of Utopia Planitia on Mars. Graduate students still get paid a sub-living wage, so you've been stuck eating freeze-dried ramen ...
Phys.org / Mineral garnet discovered in Mars meteorite may reveal how the red planet evolved billions of years ago
An international team of scientists has identified a completely new type of rock from the red planet and, for the first time, discovered the mineral garnet in a Martian sample. The breakthrough offers a rare glimpse into ...
Phys.org / How bacteria exploit human cell metabolism to sharpen infections and potentially evade treatment
A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance in infection and inflammation" has discovered a new mechanism by which bacterial pathogens adjust ...
Tech Xplore / Upsampling method sharpens AI vision with up to 16 times less GPU memory
From facial recognition on smartphones to humanoid robots, computer vision technology, which serves as the eyes of artificial intelligence (AI), is widely used in daily life. A joint research team from KAIST and international ...
