Astronomers find the smallest main-belt asteroids ever detected: Study – World News Network
The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt, which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million km from Earth. Since the discovery of the first asteroid in 1801, about 750.000 asteroids have been identified, primarily in the last decade thanks…
Study finds connection between quantum theory, information theory – World News Network
"Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It's basic research that lays the foundation for future technologies in quantum information and quantum computers. There's enormous potential for complete discoveries in many different research fields," said Guilherme B Xavier, a researcher in quantum communication at Linkoping University, Sweden.
Study finds breakthrough tool for detecting problems during protein synthesis – World News Network
Protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells--found in plants, animals, and fungi--involves more than just the straightforward ribosome assembly of amino acids.
When devices can read human emotions without a camera: Study – World News Network
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers employed long-term skin conductance measurements to distinguish between emotions. Volunteers were given videos representing frightening scenarios, family bonding, and humour, while their skin conductance was measured.
Nuroscience study results can be better predicted by AI than human experts, say researchers – World News Network
Large language models, a type of AI that analyses text, can anticipate the results of proposed neuroscience studies more correctly than human experts, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.
Thermal imaging may help fruits, veggies stay fresher longer: Study – World News Network
Before your favourite produce arrives at the grocery store, it must be carefully harvested and stored for extended periods of time. A recent University of Georgia assessment argues that new temperature sensing devices could make that procedure considerably easier, as agricultural issues are exacerbated by changing climates.
