A new approach to improve the power control of wind farms
To slow down climate change and prevent its adverse consequences, humans will need to transition to more sustainable energy sources. Engineers worldwide have thus been working on a wide range of...
Study traces the origins and diffusion of image memes online
Memes, images or videos with text overlays that convey funny messages to specific audiences are a well-known global phenomenon. As they tend to rapidly circulate online and become viral quickly,...
Dopamine modulation could help to treat stress-induced anhedonia
The term anhedonia is used to describe the inability to feel pleasure and a disinterest in activities that previously brought positive feelings. This lack of interest and pleasure is a very common...
From conventional to strange metal behavior in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene
Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) is a graphene-based material with a unique structure, consisting of two graphene sheets layered on top of each other with a misalignment of approximately...
A model to improve robots’ ability to hand over objects to humans
For decades, researchers worldwide have been trying to develop robots that can efficiently assist humans and work alongside them as they tackle a variety of everyday tasks. To do this effectively,...
The risks of attacks that involve poisoning training data for machine learning models
A growing number of studies suggest that machine learning algorithms can leak a considerable amount of information included in the data used to train them through their model parameters and...
Using deep learning to predict users’ superficial judgments of human faces
Many psychology studies have confirmed the biased nature of human judgments and decision-making. When interacting with a new person, for instance, humans often make a series of automatic and...
Theoretical model offers a new perspective on black hole formation and evolution
Black holes are regions in space characterized by gravitational fields so intense that no matter or radiation can escape from them. They are solutions to Einstein's field equations, with a point of...
Researchers map mouse olfactory glomeruli using state-of-the-art techniques
Detecting odors and differentiating between them is an essential ability that helps animals to survive and interact more effectively with their surrounding environment. In mammals, odors are known...
Study introduces loss-free matter-wave polaritons in an optical lattice system
Polaritons are quasiparticles that are formed when photons couple strongly with excitations of matter. These quasi-particles, which are half-light and half-matter, underpin the functioning of a wide...
