“Researchers at the University of Tsukuba create a new lithium-based scintillator crystal for detecting radiation that can distinguish between neutrons and gamma rays, which may lead to improved airport security and nuclear tracking Tsukuba, Japan—Security concerns over radioactive materials …
“NASA’s newest astrophysics observatory wasn’t designed to look for small objects in our solar system, but scientists using its Mid-Infrared Instrument may have done just that. An asteroid roughly the size of Rome’s Colosseum – between 300 to …
“A neural network that can learn its own learning algorithm opens the door to self-improving artificial intelligence. By replacing parts of the conventional nodes in a neural network (NN) with tiny NNs, a research team from KAUST and the Swiss …
“EPFL researchers have combined low-power chip design, machine learning algorithms, and soft implantable electrodes to produce a neural interface that can identify and suppress symptoms of various neurological disorders. Mahsa Shoaran of the Integrated Neurotechnologies Laboratory in the School of …
“Stefan Guindon, Christian Ohm and Caterina Vernieri describe the major ‘Phase II’ upgrades taking place to prepare the ATLAS detector for the High-Luminosity LHC. The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC in 2012 changed the landscape of high-energy …
“Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a new journal article. If you whisper by the …
“A new type of analogue computer developed by researchers at UCD and Stanford University could solve some of the most exciting unanswered questions in quantum physics. In new research published in Nature Physics, the collaborating scientists detailed how this ‘quantum …
“Astronomers have directly measured the mass of a dead star using an effect known as gravitational microlensing, first predicted by Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity, and first observed by two Cambridge astronomers 100 years ago. The international team …
“Critical Materials Institute researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Arizona State University studied the mineral monazite, an important source of rare-earth elements, to enhance methods of recovering critical materials for energy, defense and manufacturing applications. Rare-earth elements occur together …
“Stacking light-emitting diodes instead of placing them side by side could enable fully immersive virtual reality displays and higher-resolution digital screens. Take apart your laptop screen, and at its heart you’ll find a plate patterned with pixels of red …
