| Team dramatically reduces image analysis times using deep learning, other approaches Posted: 29 Jun 2020 12:05 PM PDT Scientists have devised deep-learning and other approaches that dramatically reduce image-analysis times by orders of magnitude -- in some cases, matching the speed of image data acquisition itself.      |
| SwRI scientists demonstrate speed, precision of in situ planetary dating device Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:40 AM PDT Scientists have increased the speed and accuracy of a laboratory-scale instrument for determining the age of planetary specimens onsite. The team is progressively miniaturizing the Chemistry, Organics and Dating Experiment (CODEX) instrument to reach a size suitable for spaceflight and lander missions. |
| Artificial intelligence identifies, locates seizures in real-time Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:40 AM PDT Research has shown that understanding brain activity as a network instead of readings from an EEG allow for more accurate and efficient detection of seizures in real-time. |
| New solar forecasting model performs best Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT A new mathematical model for predicting variations in solar irradiance has been developed. It may help to promote more efficient use of electricity from solar energy. In tests of various data models, the model proved capable of making highly reliable forecasts, and emerged as the best for this purpose in some respects. |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT The history of our planet has been written, among other things, in the periodic reversal of its magnetic poles. Scientists propose a new means of reading this historic record: in ice. Their findings could lead to a refined probing ice cores and, in the future, might be applied to understanding the magnetic history of other bodies in our solar system, including Mars and Jupiter's moon Europa. |
| Quantum physics provides a way to hide ignorance Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT Students can hide their ignorance and answer questions correctly in an exam without their lack of knowledge being detected by teachers -- but only in the quantum world. |
| Producing a gaseous messenger molecule inside the body, on demand Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT Method could shed light on nitric oxide's role in the neural, circulatory, and immune systems. |
| Multifunctional nanofiber protects against explosions, extreme temps Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT Researchers have developed a lightweight, multifunctional nanofiber material that can protect wearers from both extreme temperatures and ballistic threats. |
| Laser-welded sugar: Sweet way to 3D-print blood vessels Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT Bioengineers have shown they can keep densely packed cells alive in lab-grown tissues by creating complex networks of branching blood vessels from templates of 3D-printed sugar. |
| Wearable-tech glove translates sign language into speech in real time Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:02 AM PDT Bioengineers have designed a glove-like device that can translate American Sign Language into English speech in real time though a smartphone app. The system includes a pair of gloves with thin, stretchable sensors that run the length of each of the five fingers. These sensors, made from electrically conducting yarns, pick up hand motions and finger placements that stand for individual letters, numbers, words and phrases. |
| Wrapping up hydrophobic hydration Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:01 AM PDT Studied in detail, the embedding of hydrophobic molecules in water looks quite different than previously assumed. |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:01 AM PDT It is well-known that victims of bullying can have higher risks of future health and social problems. However, different victims experience a broad range of responses and some may not suffer at all. Researchers felt this implied there might be factors that could protect against some consequences of bullying. In a study of over 6,000 adolescents in Japan, they found a strong candidate in the moderation of what is known as emotional competence. |
| Physicists see surprisingly strong light, high heat from nanogaps between plasmonic electrodes Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:01 AM PDT Physicists discover that plasmonic metals can be prompted to produce ''hot carriers'' that in turn emit unexpectedly bright light in nanoscale gaps between electrodes. The phenomenon could be useful for photocatalysis, quantum optics and optoelectronics. |
| Gold mining restricts Amazon rainforest recovery Posted: 29 Jun 2020 06:00 AM PDT Gold mining significantly limits the regrowth of Amazon forests, greatly reducing their ability to accumulate carbon, according to a new study. The researchers warn that the impacts of mining on tropical forests are long-lasting and that active land management and restoration will be necessary to recover tropical forests on previously mined lands. |
| First measurement of spin-orbit alignment on planet Beta Pictoris b Posted: 29 Jun 2020 06:00 AM PDT Astronomers have made the first measurement of spin-orbit alignment for a distant 'super-Jupiter' planet, demonstrating a technique that could enable breakthroughs in the quest to understand how exoplanetary systems form and evolved. |
| Researchers print, tune graphene sensors to monitor food freshness, safety Posted: 29 Jun 2020 06:00 AM PDT Researchers are using high-resolution printing technology and the unique properties of graphene to make low-cost biosensors to monitor food safety and livestock health. |
