(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Physicists have calculated how suitable molecules can be stimulated by infrared light pulses to form tiny magnetic fields. If this is also successful in experiments, the principle could be used in quantum computer circuits.
Published 'Self-taught' AI tool helps to diagnose and predict severity of common lung cancer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A computer program based on data from nearly a half-million tissue images and powered by artificial intelligence can accurately diagnose cases of adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer, a new study shows.
Published New computer vision method helps speed up screening of electronic materials
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new computer vision technique developed by engineers significantly speeds up the characterization of newly synthesized electronic materials. Such materials might be used in novel solar cells, transistors, LEDs, and batteries.
Published Advanced AI-based techniques scale-up solving complex combinatorial optimization problems
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a new study.
Published Researchers demonstrate the first chip-based 3D printer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have demonstrated the first chip-based 3D printer, a tiny device that emits reconfigurable beams of visible light into a well of resin that rapidly cures into a solid shape. The advance could enable a 3D printer small enough to fit in the palm of a person's hand.
Published Discovery highlights 'critical oversight' in perceived security of wireless networks
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A research team has uncovered an eavesdropping security vulnerability in high-frequency and high-speed wireless backhaul links, widely employed in critical applications such as 5G wireless cell phone signals and low-latency financial trading on Wall Street.
Published Seeking social proximity improves flight routes among pigeons
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study looked at the social influences on pigeon flight routes. Comparing the flight patterns of pairs of pigeons to a computer model, the researcher found that flight paths are improved as younger birds learn the route from older birds and also make route improvements, leading to overall more efficient routes over generations.
Published AIs are irrational, but not in the same way that humans are
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Large Language Models behind popular generative AI platforms like ChatGPT gave different answers when asked to respond to the same reasoning test and didn't improve when given additional context, finds a new study.
Published Using AI to decode dog vocalizations
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Have you ever wished you could understand what your dog is trying to say to you? Researchers are exploring the possibilities of AI, developing tools that can identify whether a dog's bark conveys playfulness or aggression.
Published New model allows a computer to understand human emotions
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a model that enables computers to interpret and understand human emotions, utilizing principles of mathematical psychology. In the future, the model can help the computer to adapt its own behavior and guide an irritated or anxious user in different ways. The implications of such technology are profound, offering a glimpse into a future where computers are not merely tools, but empathetic partners in user interaction.
Published New open-source platform allows users to evaluate performance of AI-powered chatbots
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a platform for the interactive evaluation of AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGPT. A team of computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and cognitive scientists developed an open-source evaluation platform called CheckMate, which allows human users to interact with and evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs).
Published Groundbreaking progress in quantum physics: How quantum field theories decay and fission
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives elementary particles mass and triggers phase transitions, using the concept of 'magnetic quivers.'
Published The coldest lab in New York has new quantum offering
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Physicists describe the successful creation of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Made up of dipolar sodium-cesium molecules that were cooled with the help of microwave shielding to just 5 nanoKelvin and lasted for up to two seconds, the new molecular BEC will help scientists explore a number of different quantum phenomena, including new types of superfluidity, and enable the creation of quantum simulators to ecreate the enigmatic properties of complex materials, like solid crystals.
Published Children's visual experience may hold key to better computer vision training
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A novel, human-inspired approach to training artificial intelligence (AI) systems to identify objects and navigate their surroundings could set the stage for the development of more advanced AI systems to explore extreme environments or distant worlds, according to new research.
Published This self-powered sensor could make MRIs more efficient
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source MRI scans are commonly used to diagnose a variety of conditions, anything from liver disease to brain tumors. But, as anyone who has been through one knows, patients must remain completely still to avoid blurring the images and requiring a new scan. A prototype device could change that. The self-powered sensor detects movement and shuts down an MRI scan in real time, improving the process for patients and technicians.
Published AI saving humans from the emotional toll of monitoring hate speech
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A team of researchers have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88 per cent accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.
Published The thinnest lens on Earth, enabled by excitons
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Lenses are used to bend and focus light. Normal lenses rely on their curved shape to achieve this effect, but physicists have made a flat lens of only three atoms thick which relies on quantum effects. This type of lens could be used in future augmented reality glasses.
Published Generative AI to protect image privacy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Image privacy could be protected with the use of generative artificial intelligence. Researchers created a system which replaces parts of images that might threaten confidentiality with visually similar but AI-generated alternatives. Named 'generative content replacement,' in tests, 60% of viewers couldn't tell which images had been altered. The researchers intend for this system to provide a more visually cohesive option for image censoring, which helps to preserve the narrative of the image while protecting privacy.
Published Researchers apply quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers recently published findings that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction.
