Exploring the effects of feeding emotional stimuli to large language models
Since the advent of OpenAI's ChatGPT, large language models (LLMs) have become significantly popular. These models, trained on vast amounts of data, can answer written user queries in strikingly...
Exploring what happens in the brain under the influence of psychedelics, while meditating and during hypnosis
Changes in a person's "normal" mental state after taking drugs, while meditating, during hypnosis or due to specific medical conditions have been a topic of study for several years now. Some of...
Study explores the impact of climate change on the supply and demand of wind and solar energy
Over the past few decades, sustainable energy solutions that rely on renewable sources, particularly the sun and wind, have become increasingly advanced and widespread. Many countries worldwide have...
Researchers observe ubiquitous superconductive diode effect in thin superconducting films
The so-called superconducting (SC) diode effect has recently attracted significant attention within the physics research community, due to its potential value for developing new technologies. This...
Nanoelectromechanical resonators based on hafnia–zirconia–alumina superlattices with gigahertz spectrum coverage
Newly developed atomic engineering techniques have opened exciting opportunities for enabling ferroelectric behavior in high-k dielectrics, materials that have a high dielectric constant (i.e.,...
New transparent metadevices based on quasi-1D surface plasmon polariton structures
Transparent electronic devices could have numerous valuable real-world applications. Among other things, they could enable the creation of new optical devices, smart gear or wearables, invisible...
Study identifies ligand-receptor pairs driving the development of astrocytes
Astrocytes are a type of glial cell in the central nervous system that clear excess neurotransmitters, promote the formation of synapses (i.e., connections between neurons), and perform other...
A CMOS-compatible spintronic compute-in-memory macro to secure AI edge devices
Edge computing applications, which entail the processing and storage of data at the source of its production (i.e., near where it is created), is now being applied to a growing number of...
Millimeter-scale meron lattices that can serve as spin injectors for LEDs
Merons, topological structures based on in-plane magnetized magnetic materials, could have numerous valuable applications, particularly for carrying information or storing magnetic charge. Most past...
Research team synchronizes single photons using an atomic quantum memory
A long-standing challenge in the field of quantum physics is the efficient synchronization of individual and independently generated photons (i.e., light particles). Realizing this would have...
