Soft machines, made from flexible materials such as soft plastics, could be beneficial in fields like nuclear cleanup, medicine, and space exploration. However, their real-world use has been limited ...

For years, researchers have grappled with one of autism’s enduring mysteries: why males receive diagnoses at more than four times the rate of females. While many theories have suggested that ...

Jupiter’s early formation shaped the structure of the Solar System, influencing its overall development. However, the exact timeline of its formation remains uncertain due to gaps in current models, ...

Creating biosensors that continuously track molecules inside the body has been challenging due to biofouling, probe degradation, and signal drift. Inspired by the gut’s natural defenses, Stanford ...

Current tests for detecting Alzheimer’s disease through blood biomarkers are costly and not widely available. Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new, low-cost test ...

AI models can excel in many fields, but their ability to understand emotions is still unclear. Researchers from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested six AIs, including ChatGPT, ...

Phonons are energy waves that travel through crystal lattices via atomic vibrations. Often compared to ripples in a pond, phonons play a vital role in optoelectronic applications and tunable photonic ...

State-space models are AI designed to better understand long-term patterns in data, such as climate trends or biological signals. Unlike traditional models, they track how information evolves rather ...

Polynomials are equations in which a variable is raised to different powers, like 1 + 4x—3x² = 0 (a degree-two polynomial). These equations are essential in math and science, helping explain things ...

Caption:MIT researchers created a periodic table of machine learning that shows how more than 20 classical algorithms are connected. The new framework sheds light on how scientists could fuse ...

An SwRI-led study modeled the chemistry of TOI-270 d, a nearby exoplanet between Earth and Neptune in size, finding evidence that it is a giant rocky world (super-Earth) surrounded by a deep, hot ...
