Published New polymer materials make fabricating optical interconnects easier
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical fibers. These materials can be used to easily create interconnects between photonic chips and optical printed circuit boards, the light-based equivalent of electronic printed circuit boards.
Published Machine learning model could better measure baseball players' performance
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a machine learning model that could better measure baseball players' and teams' short- and long-term performance, compared to existing statistical analysis methods for the sport. Drawing on recent advances in natural language processing and computer vision, their approach would completely change, and could enhance, the way the state of a game and a player's impact on the game is measured.
Published How did visitors experience the domestic space in Pompeii?
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have used virtual reality and 3D eye-tracking technology to examine what drew the attention of the visitors when entering the stunning environment of an ancient Roman house. The team recreated the House of Greek Epigrams in 3D and tracked the gaze of study participants as they viewed the home.
Published Adding AI to Museum exhibits increases learning, keeps kids engaged longer
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have demonstrated a more effective way to support learning and increase engagement at science-focused museum exhibits. They used artificial intelligence to create a new genre of interactive, hands-on exhibits that includes an intelligent, virtual assistant to interact with visitors. When the researchers compared their intelligent exhibit to a traditional one, they found that the intelligent exhibit increased learning and the time spent at the exhibit.
Published Study shows gaps in how STEM organizations collect demographic information
(via sciencedaily.com) Professional organizations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields could more effectively collect data on underrepresented groups in their fields, according to a new survey. With more robust information, STEM organizations could better target efforts to recruit and retain a more diverse membership.
Published Lottery luck in the light of physics: Researchers present theory on the dynamics of many-particle systems
(via sciencedaily.com) Power functional theory is a new approach that makes it possible to describe precisely the dynamics of many-particle systems over time.
Published Speaking from the heart: Could your voice reveal your heart health?
(via sciencedaily.com) An artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer algorithm accurately predicted a person's likelihood of suffering heart problems related to clogged arteries based on voice recordings alone.
Published Active video games provide alternative workout
(via sciencedaily.com) Working out isn't known for being fun. But new active video and virtual reality games may help change that. Exergaming, or active video gaming, may be the perfect introduction to helping people be more active, according to new research.
Published Toward a quantum computer that calculates molecular energy
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed an algorithm that uses the most quantum bits to date to calculate ground state energy, the lowest-energy state in a quantum mechanical system. The discovery could make it easier to design new materials.
Published Intensity control of projectors in parallel: A doorway to an augmented reality future
(via sciencedaily.com) A challenge to adopting augmented reality (AR) in wider applications is working with dynamic objects, owing to a delay between their movement and the projection of light onto their new position. But, scientists may have a workaround. They have developed a method that uses multiple projectors while reducing delay time. Their method could open the door to a future driven by AR, helping us live increasingly technology-centered lives.
Published Stackable 'holobricks' can make giant 3D images
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a new method to display highly realistic holographic images using 'holobricks' that can be stacked together to generate large-scale holograms.
Published Are conferences worth the time and money?
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists who interact with others during assigned sessions at conferences are more likely to form productive collaborations than scientists who do not, researchers found. And the kicker? It doesn't matter whether the conference is in person or virtual.
Published Chemical reaction design goes virtual
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers aim to streamline the time- and resource-intensive process of screening ligands during catalyst design by using virtual ligands.
Published A first step towards quantum algorithms: Minimizing the guesswork of a quantum ensemble
(via sciencedaily.com) A quantum ensemble -- a set of quantum states with their corresponding probabilities -- is essential to the encoding of classical information for transmission over quantum channels. But receivers must be able to 'guess' the transmitted quantum state, incurring a cost called 'guesswork.' Recently, researchers have derived analytical solutions of the guesswork problem for when the ensemble is subject to a finite set of conditions. The results constitute a first step towards future algorithms for quantum software.
Published New insight into machine-learning error estimation
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists are evaluating machine-learning models using transfer learning principles.
Published New data analysis tool uncovers important COVID-19 clues
(via sciencedaily.com) A new data analysis tool has revealed the specific immune cell types associated with increased risk of death from COVID-19.
Published Using artificial intelligence to find anomalies hiding in massive datasets
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a computationally efficient method that could be used to identify anomalies in the U.S. power grid in real time. The novel technique augments a special type of machine-learning model with a powerful graph structure, and does not require any labeled data to train.
Published Navigation tools could be pointing drivers to the shortest route — but not the safest
(via sciencedaily.com) Time for a road trip. You punch the destination into your GPS and choose the suggested route. But is this shortest route the safest? Not necessarily, according to new findings.
Published Researchers use supercomputers for largest-ever turbulence simulations of its kind
(via sciencedaily.com) Despite being among the most researched topics on supercomputers, a fundamental understanding of the effects of turbulent motion on fluid flows still eludes scientists. A new approach aims to change that.
