Study shows that some voices are more memorable than others, irrespective of who is listening to them
The term "memorability" refers to the likelihood that a particular stimulus, such as an object, face or sound, will be remembered by those exposed to it. Over the past few years, some psychology...
Memory composition and hippocampal replay: New insights into how the hippocampus helps shape future behavior
The hippocampal formation is a group of brain regions, including the hippocampus and some other structures closely connected to it. This set of brain regions is known to support various important...
AMoRE experiment sets new limits on neutrinoless double beta decay of ¹⁰⁰Mo
In recent years, some large physics experiments worldwide have been trying to gather evidence of a nuclear process known as neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay. This is a rare process that entails...
Artificial nerve with organic transistor design shows promise for brain-machine interfaces
An experimental test of the nonlocal energy alteration between two quantum memories
Quantum technologies operate by leveraging various quantum mechanical effects, including entanglement. Entanglement occurs when two or more particles share correlated states even if they are distant.
Wireless terahertz cryogenic interconnect minimizes heat-to-information transfer in quantum processors
Quantum computers, devices that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers in some complex optimization and computational tasks. However, before...
New electrolytes enable safe, stable and fast-charging lithium-metal batteries
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced battery technologies that can be charged faster and store more energy, while also remaining safe and stable over time....
Legged robots skateboard successfully with reinforcement learning framework
Legged robots, which are often inspired by animals and insects, could help humans to complete various real-world tasks, for instance delivering parcels or monitoring specific environments. In recent...
Sleep supports people’s ability to remember sequences of real-world experiences, immersive art tour experiment shows
Sleep is known to contribute to the healthy functioning of the brain and the consolidation of memories. Past psychology research specifically highlighted its role in retaining episodic memories,...
No evidence of decision fatigue found among nurses
Difficult decisions, such as those made by health care professionals every day, can be stressful and mentally demanding. Some past psychology studies suggest that making these hard decisions can...
