Published Basketball Mathematics scores big at inspiring kids to learn
(via sciencedaily.com) New study with 756 1st through 5th graders demonstrates that a six-week mashup of hoops and math has a positive effect on their desire to learn more, provides them with an experience of increased self-determination and grows math confidence among youth.
Published Do school-based interventions help improve reading and math in at-risk children?
(via sciencedaily.com) School-based interventions that target students with, or at risk of, academic difficulties in kindergarten to grade 6 have positive effects on reading and mathematics, according to a new article.
Published Big data tells story of diversity, migration of math's elite
(via sciencedaily.com) Research uses artificial intelligence to map connections between the world's top mathematicians.
Published Facial recognition ID with a twist: Smiles, winks and other facial movements for access
(via sciencedaily.com) Concurrent Two-Factor Identity Verification requires both one's facial identity and a specific facial motion to gain access. To set it up, a user faces a camera and records a short 1-2 second video of either a unique facial motion or a lip movement from reading a secret phrase. The video is then input into the device, which extracts facial features and the features of the facial motion, storing them for later ID verification.
Published Sum of cubes: New math solution for 3
(via sciencedaily.com) After cracking the 'sum of cubes' puzzle for 42, mathematicians discover a new solution for 3.
Published Researchers discover that privacy-preserving tools leave private data anything but
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers explored whether private data could still be recovered from images that had been 'sanitized'' by such deep-learning discriminators as privacy protecting GANs (PP-GANs).
Published Heat-free optical switch would enable optical quantum computing chips
(via sciencedaily.com) In a potential boost for quantum computing and communication, a European research collaboration reported a new method of controlling and manipulating single photons without generating heat. The solution makes it possible to integrate optical switches and single-photon detectors in a single chip.
Published Laser system generates random numbers at ultrafast speeds
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed a system that can generate random numbers over a hundred times faster than current technologies, paving the way towards faster, cheaper, and more secure data encryption in today's digitally connected world.
Published Quantum systems learn joint computing
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers realize quantum-logic computer operation between two separate quantum modules in different laboratories.
Published Quantum computing: When ignorance is wanted
(via sciencedaily.com) Quantum technologies for computers open up new concepts of preserving the privacy of input and output data of a computation. Scientists have shown that optical quantum systems are not only particularly suitable for some quantum computations, but can also effectively encrypt the associated input and output data.
Published Cybersecurity vulnerabilities of common seismological equipment
(via sciencedaily.com) Seismic monitoring devices linked to the internet are vulnerable to cyberattacks that could disrupt data collection and processing, say researchers who have probed the devices for weak points.
Published The Ramanujan Machine: Researchers develop 'conjecture generator'
(via sciencedaily.com) Using AI and computer automation, researchers have developed a 'conjecture generator' that creates mathematical conjectures, which are considered to be the starting point for developing mathematical theorems.
Published Say goodbye to the dots and dashes to enhance optical storage media
(via sciencedaily.com) A new technology is aimed at modernizing the optical digital storage technology. This advancement allows for more data to be stored and for that data to be read at a quicker rate. Rather than using the traditional dots and dashes as commonly used in these technologies, the innovators encode information in the angular position of tiny antennas, allowing them to store more data per unit area.
Published Researchers improve data readout by using 'quantum entanglement'
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers say they have been able to greatly improve the readout of data from digital memories - thanks to a phenomenon known as 'quantum entanglement'.
Published Researchers use deep learning to identify gene regulation at single-cell level
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers describe how they developed a deep-learning framework to observe gene regulation at the cellular level.
Published Physicists observe competition between magnetic orders
(via sciencedaily.com) Two-dimensional materials, consisting of a single layer of atoms, have been booming in research for years. They possess novel properties that can only be explained with the help of the laws of quantum mechanics. Researchers have now used ultracold atoms to gain new insights into previously unknown quantum phenomena. They found out that the magnetic orders between two coupled thin films of atoms compete with each other.
Published Traditional model for disease spread may not work in COVID-19
(via sciencedaily.com) A mathematical model that can help project the contagiousness and spread of infectious diseases like the seasonal flu may not be the best way to predict the continuing spread of the novel coronavirus, especially during lockdowns that alter the normal mix of the population.
Published To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language
(via sciencedaily.com) Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math problems or crossword puzzles.
Published Quantum magic squares
(via sciencedaily.com) The magic of mathematics is particularly reflected in magic squares. Recently, quantum physicists and mathematicians introduced the notion of the quantum magic square, and for the first time studied in detail the properties of this quantum version of magic squares.
Published A biochemical random number
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical means.
