Published Forgive or forget: What happens when robots lie?
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Student researchers investigate how intentional robot deception affects trust, examining the effectiveness of apologies after robots lie.
Published Molecules precursors to life discovered in the Perseus Cloud
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A study has detected the presence of large quantities of complex organic molecules in one of the nearest star forming regions to the solar system.
Published AI algorithm unblurs the cosmos
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers adapted a well-known computer-vision algorithm used for sharpening photos and, for the first time, applied it to astronomical images from ground-based telescopes. While astrophysicists already use technologies to remove blur, the adapted AI-driven algorithm works faster and produces more realistic images than current technologies. The resulting images are blur-free and truer to life.
Published Scientists observe flattest explosion ever seen in space
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Astronomers have observed an explosion 180 million light years away which challenges our current understanding of explosions in space, that appeared much flatter than ever thought possible.
Published Prototype taps into the sensing capabilities of any smartphone to screen for prediabetes
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers at the University of Washington have developed GlucoScreen, a system that could enable people to self-screen for prediabetes.
Published New details of SARS-COV-2 structure
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers used computational modeling to reveal finer details surrounding the outer shell of the COVID-19 virus. The work expands the scientific community's understanding of SARS-COV-2, and could lead to more refined antiviral therapies and better vaccines.
Published 'Taffy galaxies' collide, leave behind bridge of star-forming material
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, operated by NSF's NOIRLab, captured a dazzling image of UGC 12914 and UGC 12915, which are nicknamed the Taffy Galaxies. Their twisted shape is the result of a head-on collision that occurred about 25 million years prior to their appearance in the image. A bridge of highly turbulent gas devoid of significant star formation spans the gap between the two galaxies.
Published Can AI predict how you'll vote in the next election?
(via sciencedaily.com) Artificial intelligence technologies like ChatGPT are seemingly doing everything these days: writing code, composing music, and even creating images so realistic you'll think they were taken by professional photographers. Add thinking and responding like a human to the conga line of capabilities. A recent study proves that artificial intelligence can respond to complex survey questions just like a real human.
Published Astronomers witness the birth of a very distant cluster of galaxies from the early Universe
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Astronomers have discovered a large reservoir of hot gas in the still-forming galaxy cluster around the Spiderweb galaxy -- the most distant detection of such hot gas yet. Galaxy clusters are some of the largest objects known in the Universe and this result further reveals just how early these structures begin to form.
Published New chip design to provide greatest precision in memory to date
(via sciencedaily.com) Everyone is talking about the newest AI and the power of neural networks, forgetting that software is limited by the hardware on which it runs. But it is hardware become 'the bottleneck.' New collaborators might change that. They believe that they have developed a new type of chip with the best memory of any chip thus far for edge AI (AI in portable devices). To put it in context, right now, ChatGPT is running on a cloud. The new innovation, followed by some further development, could put the power of a mini version of ChatGPT in everyone's personal device. It could make such high-powered tech more affordable and accessible for all sorts of applications.
Published How cosmic winds transform galactic environments
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Much like how wind plays a key role in life on Earth by sweeping seeds, pollen and more from one place to another, galactic winds -- high-powered streams of charged particles and gases -- can change the chemical make-up of the host galaxies they form in, simply by blowing in a specific direction.
Published Magnon-based computation could signal computing paradigm shift
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Thanks to a breakthrough in the field of magnonics, researchers have sent and stored data using charge-free magnetic waves, rather than traditional electron flows. The discovery could solve the dilemma of energy-hungry computing technology in the age of big data.
Published Brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed reveals new mysteries of cosmic explosions
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists believe the gamma-ray emission, which lasted over 300 seconds, is the birth cry of a black hole, formed as the core of a massive and rapidly spinning star collapses under its own weight.
Published Redness of Neptunian asteroids sheds light on early Solar System
(via sciencedaily.com) Asteroids sharing their orbits with the planet Neptune have been observed to exist in a broad spectrum of red color, implying the existence of two populations of asteroids in the region, according to a new study by an international team of researchers.
Published First silicon integrated ECRAM for a practical AI accelerator
(via sciencedaily.com) The transformative changes brought by deep learning and artificial intelligence are accompanied by immense costs. For example, OpenAI's ChatGPT algorithm costs at least $100,000 every day to operate. This could be reduced with accelerators, or computer hardware designed to efficiently perform the specific operations of deep learning. However, such a device is only viable if it can be integrated with mainstream silicon-based computing hardware on the material level.
Published JWST confirms giant planet atmospheres vary widely
(via sciencedaily.com) Astronomers have found the atmospheric compositions of giant planets out in the galaxy do not fit our own solar system trend.
Published Temperature of a rocky exoplanet measured
(via sciencedaily.com) An international team of researchers has used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to measure the temperature of the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b. The measurement is based on the planet's thermal emission: heat energy given off in the form of infrared light detected by Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The result indicates that the planet's dayside has a temperature of about 500 kelvins (roughly 450 degrees Fahrenheit) and suggests that it has no significant atmosphere.
Published Two meteorites are providing a detailed look into outer space
(via sciencedaily.com) If you've ever seen a shooting star, you might have seen a meteor on its way to Earth. Those that land here can be used to peek back in time, into the far corners of outer space or at the earliest building blocks of life. Scientists have conducted some of the most detailed analyses yet on the organic material of two meteorites.
Published AI 'brain' created from core materials for OLED TVs
(via sciencedaily.com) A research team develops semiconductor devices for high-performance AI operations by applying IGZO materials widely used in OLED displays.
Published Artificial intelligence discovers secret equation for 'weighing' galaxy clusters
(via sciencedaily.com) Astrophysicists have leveraged artificial intelligence to uncover a better way to estimate the mass of colossal clusters of galaxies. The AI discovered that by just adding a simple term to an existing equation, scientists can produce far better mass estimates than they previously had. The improved estimates will enable scientists to calculate the fundamental properties of the universe more accurately, the astrophysicists have reported.
