Synthetic cannabinoids, a class of new psychoactive substances, have emerged as a significant public health and social stability threat due to their structural diversity, rapid iteration, and stronger excitatory effects compared ...
A study published in npj Computational Materials presents a new AI system that uses computer vision and language processing to interpret complex polymer–solvent interactions such as swelling, gelation and dispersion from ...
For decades, scientists have looked to light as a way to speed up computing. Photonic neural networks—systems that use light instead of electricity to process information—promise faster speeds and lower energy use than ...
An umbrella held aloft guides a large group of tourists through the main squares of the historic center on a route lasting several hours that culminates in voluntary payment by the participants, depending on their levels ...
Magnetic materials are in high demand. They're essential to the energy storage innovations on which electrification depends and to the robotics systems powering automation. They're also inside more familiar products, from ...
Throughout their everyday lives, humans are typically required to make a wide range of decisions, which can impact their well-being, health, social connections, and finances. Understanding the human decision-making processes ...
The classic microscope is getting a modern twist—US researchers are developing an AI-powered microscope system that could make soil health testing faster, cheaper, and more accessible to farmers and land managers around ...
Researchers at the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute at Columbia University discovered that hippocampal place cells in black-capped chickadees fire when the bird merely gazes at a distant location, revealing a unified ...
Researchers have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. This approach could help us understand the origins of our own galaxy, ...
Floods are some of the most devastating natural disasters communities in the United States face, causing billions of dollars of damage annually, according to the National Weather Service. A group, including several researchers ...
