Study unveils neural processes underpinning the re-emergence of consciousness after anesthesia
Before undergoing surgeries and other invasive medical procedures, patients typically undergo anesthesia. Anesthesia consists in giving patients a class of drugs (i.e., anesthetics) that cause them...
The ATLAS collaboration observes the electroweak production of two jets and a Z-boson pair
The ATLAS collaboration, the large research consortium involved in analyzing data collected by the ATLAS particle collider at CERN, recently observed the electroweak production of two Z bosons and...
A review of existing studies investigating online romance fraud
Online romance fraud is an increasingly common phenomenon, which can affect people of all ages worldwide. This type of fraud occurs when a malicious individual or members of a criminal organization...
A non-reciprocal metasurface based on magnetic meta-atoms
Metasurfaces, two-dimensional (2D) or planar versions of metamaterials exhibit properties that are not typically found in natural materials. As they are flat, these materials can typically be...
The SNO+ collaboration gathers the first evidence of antineutrinos in a water Cherenkov detector
Antineutrinos, the antimatter counterpart of neutrinos, have an almost non-existent mass and charge, and almost never interact with other particles, which makes them particularly difficult to...
A framework to enable touch-enhanced robotic grasping using tactile sensors
To successfully cooperate with humans on manual tasks, robots should be able to grasp and manipulate a variety of objects without dropping or damaging them. Recent research efforts in the field of...
A universal protocol that inverts the evolution of a qubit with a high probability of success
Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna recently devised a universal mechanism to invert the evolution of a qubit with a high probability of...
Amazon creates a new user-centric simulation platform to develop embodied AI agents
AI-powered robots are generally trained in simulation environments before they are tested and introduced in real-world settings. These environments allow developers to safely test their machine...
Using deep neural networks to predict how natural sounds are processed by the brain
In recent years, machine learning techniques have accelerated and innovated research in numerous fields, including neuroscience. By identifying patterns in experimental data, these models could for...
The functional organization of cells in the retina is shaped by natural panoramic environments
Existing neuroscientific models of the visual system suggest that it represents the visual world just as a camera would, encoding the positions of different objects similarly. An animal's...
