Published Computable species descriptions: Scientists develop a new computer language to model organismal traits
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Understanding organismal traits and learning how they evolve and adapt to different environments is crucial for biologists and the battle against biodiversity loss. To be truly efficient, however, the researchers need to use huge amounts of data, including physical traits and DNA. Furthermore, those different data types need to be accurately linked to each other, so that computers and next-age AI technology can correctly process it. Currently, this process of accurate linking is extremely difficult and largely inefficient. To solve this problem, researchers created a brand new computer language called Phenoscript.
Published AI shows how field crops develop
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers developed software that can simulate the growth of field crops. To do this, they fed thousands of photos from field experiments into a learning algorithm. This enabled the algorithm to learn how to visualize the future development of cultivated plants based on a single initial image. Using the images created during this process, parameters such as leaf area or yield can be estimated accurately.
Published Researchers use large language models to help robots navigate
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A technique can plan a trajectory for a robot using only language-based inputs. While it can't outperform vision-based approaches, it could be useful in settings that lack visual data to use for training.
Published Making ferromagnets ready for ultra-fast communication and computation technology
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in how to enable and exploit ultra-fast spin behavior in ferromagnets. The research paves the way for ultra-high frequency applications.
Published New technique improves AI ability to map 3D space with 2D cameras
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a technique that allows artificial intelligence (AI) programs to better map three-dimensional spaces using two-dimensional images captured by multiple cameras. Because the technique works effectively with limited computational resources, it holds promise for improving the navigation of autonomous vehicles.
Published An AI-powered wearable system tracks the 3D movement of smart pills in the gut
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered system to track tiny devices that monitor markers of disease in the gut. Devices using the novel system may help at-risk individuals monitor their gastrointestinal (GI) tract health at home, without the need for invasive tests in hospital settings.
Published AI-powered simulation training improves human performance in robotic exoskeletons
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have demonstrated a new method that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and computer simulations to train robotic exoskeletons to autonomously help users save energy while walking, running and climbing stairs.
Published Hybrid work is a 'win-win-win' for companies, workers
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In the largest study yet of working-from-home professionals, economists reveal that employees who work from home two days a week are just as productive, likely to get promoted, and far less prone to quit.
Published Researchers harness AI for autonomous discovery and optimization of materials
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Today, researchers are developing ways to accelerate discovery by combining automated experiments, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. A novel tool that leverages those technologies has demonstrated that AI can influence materials synthesis and conduct associated experiments without human supervision.
Published Algae offer real potential as a renewable electricity source
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The need to transition away from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy production is critical. That's why a team of researchers is looking at a potential power source that not only produces no carbon emissions but removes carbon as it works: algae.
Published New technique could help build quantum computers of the future
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have demonstrated a new method that could enable the large-scale manufacturing of optical qubits. The advance could bring us closer to a scalable quantum computer.
Published Switching nanomagnets using infrared lasers
(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 Peers crucial in shaping boys' confidence in math skills
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Boys are good at math, girls not so much? A study has analyzed the social mechanisms that contribute to the gender gap in math confidence. While peer comparisons seem to play a crucial role for boys, girls' subjective evaluations are more likely to be based on objective performance.
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.
