Functional connections between different brain networks can predict a person’s age
Neuroscientists have been trying to understand for decades how the human brain changes over the lifespan. This could ultimately help to devise more effective treatments for neurological and...
An Android application checks how roasted coffee beans are
Coffee, one of the most popular and consumed drinks worldwide, is made from water and coffee beans. Coffee beans are the seeds of the Coffea plant, which is grown in several parts of central and...
A new framework describing the formation and development of learning-related dendritic spines
Learning is known to promote the creation of new connections in the brain, particularly excitatory synapses, synapses that increase the likelihood of action potential firing in neurons. Action...
A new theory of learning integrates cognitive psychology and systems biology
Many neuroscientists, medical researchers and engineers specializing in artificial intelligence have been trying to understand the neural mechanisms underpinning learning. Although studies have...
Controlling non-classical mechanical states in a phononic waveguide architecture
Most quantum computing technologies rely on the ability to produce, manipulate and detect non-classical states of light. Non-classical states are quantum states that cannot directly be produced...
Study finds evidence of resonant Raman scattering from surface phonons of Cu(110)
Researchers at Johannes Kepler University in Linz have been investigating the physical properties of Cu(110), a surface attained when cutting a single copper crystal in a specific direction, for...
A fast and energy-efficient sparse Ising machine to solve computationally hard problems
In recent years, engineers have been trying to devise new computers and devices that could help to solve challenging real-world problems faster and more efficiently. Some of the most promising among...
A deep learning framework to estimate the pose of robotic arms and predict their movements
As robots are gradually introduced into various real-world environments, developers and roboticists will need to ensure that they can safely operate around humans. In recent years, they have...
A neural autoencoder to enhance sensory neuroprostheses
New technologies have the potential to greatly simplify the lives of humans, including those of blind individuals. One of the most promising types of tools designed to assist the blind are visual...
The realization of measurement induced quantum phases on a trapped-ion quantum computer
Trapped-ion quantum computers are quantum devices in which trapped ions vibrate together and are fully isolated from the external environment. These computers can be particularly useful for...
