Model can predict how humans perceive attractiveness in different faces with high accuracy
Past psychology and neuroscience studies have often investigated how humans perceive different faces during social interactions. Some studies suggest that on average humans tend to find some faces...
A neural circuit that suppresses male aggression when an opponent is physically advantaged
For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to understand the neural mechanisms underpinning different social behaviors, including aggression. Aggressive, violent, or confrontational behaviors are...
A model system of topological superconductivity mediated by skyrmionic magnons
Topological superconductors are superconducting materials with unique characteristics, including the appearance of so-called in-gap Majorana states. These bound states can serve as qubits, making...
An ionic skin that could provide robots with tactile sensation and texture recognition capabilities
Through their fingertips, humans can touch and grip onto things in their surrounding environment, but they can also sense the tactile properties of objects and detect other atmospheric changes....
A model that generates complex recipes from images of available ingredients
Artificial intelligence (AI) models have already made their way into a wide range of real-world settings, helping humans to tackle everyday problems faster and more efficiently. Recently, computer...
A highly precise terahertz molecular clock
In recent years, many physicists worldwide have introduced atomic clocks, systems to measure the passing of time that are based on quantum states of atoms. These clocks can have numerous valuable...
Could quantum fluctuations in the early universe enhance the creation of massive galaxy clusters?
Astrophysicists have been trying to understand the formation of cosmological objects and phenomena in the universe for decades. Past theoretical studies suggest that quantum fluctuations in the...
A power-efficient engine that can disentangle the visual attributes of objects
Most humans are innately able to identify the individual attributes of sensory stimuli, such as objects they are seeing, sounds they are hearing, and so on. While artificial intelligence (AI) tools...
A model that uses human prompts and sketches to generate realistic fashion images
Artificial intelligence (AI) recently started making its way into many creative industries, for instance, in the form of tools for digital artists, architects, interior designers and image editors....
A general theory to realize bilayer stacking ferroelectricity
Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics, planar materials that have a spontaneous and reversible electric polarization, are extremely rare and yet could be extremely advantageous for the development of...
