Network isotopy: A framework to study the 3-D layouts of physical networks
The structure and functions of many physical networks, including the human brain, the vascular system and other biological networks, often depend on their three-dimensional and geometrical layout....
Exploring how activity in the hippocampal CA2 region encodes social interactions
People with neuropsychiatric disorders sometimes exhibit anomalous social behaviors, such as antisocial tendencies or dramatic behavioral changes. These changes could be the manifestation of...
Triple threat: The first observation of three massive gauge bosons produced in proton-proton collisions
The Standard Model, the most exhaustive existing theory outlining fundamental particle interactions, predicts the existence of what are known as triboson interactions. These interactions are...
Using deep learning to infer the socioeconomic status of people in different urban areas
Deep learning algorithms have proved to be promising tools to tackle a variety of real-world problems, especially those that require the analysis of vast amounts of data. In contrast with other...

Researchers observe what could be the first hints of dark bosons
Extremely light and weakly interacting particles may play a crucial role in cosmology and in the ongoing search for dark matter. Unfortunately, however, these particles have so far proved very...
Searching for sub-eV sterile neutrinos using two highly sensitive detectors
The standard model of particle physics only accounts for 20% of matter in the universe. Physicists have theorized that the remaining 80% is made up by so-called dark matter, which consists of...
RealitySketch: An AR interface to create responsive sketches
Researchers at University of Calgary, Adobe Research and University of Colorado Boulder have recently created an augmented reality (AR) interface that can be used to produce responsive sketches,...
A strategy to transform the structure of metal-organic framework electrocatalysts
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a chemical process that leads to the generation of molecular oxygen. This reaction is of key importance for the development of clean energy technologies,...
Immune responses during embryo development could increase risk of schizophrenia
Past research has often highlighted the effects that immune activation in pregnant women can have on the development of human embryos, for instance increasing the risk of a child developing...
