Exploring the stability of risk preference: Meta-analysis reveals discrepancies in how it’s measured
Past psychology research suggests that some people are more prone than others to take risks in uncertain situations, such as investing money in risky business ventures, consuming addictive...
High-definition organic LED microdisplays with reduced electrical crosstalk could enhance VR and AR experiences
The rapid advancement of the electronics industry is opening new possibilities for the development of increasingly advanced device components, including displays. Many of the most widely used and...
Neural pathway in mice sheds light on how the brain regulates learned immune responses
The brain of humans and other animals is known to contribute to the protection of the body from infections. Past studies have unveiled the existence of the so-called conditioned immune response...
AI-driven dialogue analysis confirms popular movies have grown more violent over the past 70 years
Movies often reflect the predominant societal and cultural values at the time they were shot. These values can be expressed in various elements of a film, including the interactions between...
Psychology-based tasks assess multi-modal LLM visual cognition limits
Over the past decades, computer scientists have created increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, some of which can perform similarly to humans on specific tasks. The extent to...
Researchers observe a phase transition in a 1D chain of atoms using a quantum simulator
Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these transitions have primarily been studied in three-dimensional (3D) and...
Gray matter study uncovers two neuroanatomically different OCD subtypes
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder associated with persistent, intrusive thoughts (i.e., obsessions), accompanied by repetitive behaviors (i.e., compulsions) aimed at...
Molecular simulations provide new insights into the dynamics of supercoiled DNA
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, development, reproduction and predispositions of individual humans, can undergo...
Surface roughness disrupts glass transition in colloidal ellipsoids, offering a new material design parameter
The so-called glass transition is the process by which some liquid-like materials become solid-like, without forming a crystalline structure. In contrast to conventional solid materials, which...
Smart robotic wheelchair offers enhanced autonomy and control
Recent advances in the fields of human-infrastructure interaction, electronic engineering, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have opened new possibilities for the development of assistive...
