In an article just published in Physica A, researchers from Bar-Ilan University in Israel show how shallow learning mechanisms can compete with deep learning.
A lot of what people believe about relationships isn't really backed up by science. With Valentine's Day approaching, here are some of the biggest myths about intimate relationships debunked by Matt Johnson, professor of psychology at Binghamton University, State University of New York; and author of "Great Myths of Intimate Relationships: Dating, Sex, and Marriage."
Since the 1980s, the planetary system around the star Beta Pictoris has continued to fascinate scientists. Even after decades of study, it still holds surprises.
The choices that Bruce Gold faced last December to resolve debilitating symptoms from a severely enlarged prostate were to keep using a catheter or have an invasive surgery with unreliable results and a high risk of complications and lingering side effects.
Outdoor humidity and temperature levels during pregnancy could affect the future blood pressure of the unborn child, according to new research by the University of Bristol, published in JACC: Advances.
The prevalence and severity of scooter-related injuries, as well as associated health care costs, have significantly increased in the U.S., a new JACS study finds.
The convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing to accelerate scientific discovery is the focus of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and PNNL.
In the culmination of a decade’s worth of effort, the DES collaboration of scientists analyzed an unprecedented sample of more than 1,500 supernovae classified using machine learning. They placed the strongest constraints on the expansion of the universe ever obtained with the DES supernova survey. While consistent with the current standard cosmological model, the results do not rule out a more complex theory that the density of dark energy in the universe could have varied over time.
A team led by UC San Diego Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics Alison Coil believes they may have found the origin of the universe's giant odd radio circles: they are shells formed by outflowing galactic winds, possibly from massive exploding stars known as supernovae.
Researchers have uncovered evidence hinting that the most common bug spray ingredient, DEET, might cause reproductive problems by affecting the formation of egg cells during pregnancy.
An illustration depicting the exoplanet WASP 121-b. By combining several years of Hubble observations with computer modelling, astronomers have found evidence for massive cyclones swirling on the hellish planet, that are repeatedly created and destroyed due to the large temperature difference between the daytime and nighttime sides of the planet.
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. The breakthrough throws open the door to a new way of doing electronics.

The research team led by Research Director Hyuneui Lim of the Nano-Convergence Manufacturing Systems Research Division and Principle Researcher Youngdo Jung of the Department of Nature-Inspired System and Application of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials(KIMM), developed a real-time and multimodal tactile perception system capable of providing multi-tactile information in real time inspired by human tactile perception, and announced the outcome of the research in the renowned journal “Soft Robotics.”
Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and partners all over Germany have developed a new system for X-ray imaging, which is suited for both living specimens and sensitive materials.
Some of the work happening today at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory can already be felt in the form of new vaccines, accessible climate models and big steps toward quantum computing.
On this episode of the Business and Society podcast, three professors from the Ross School of Business discuss the state of retail from a technological, industry, and trending strategy perspective.
Just like Ring home security cameras capture both mundane and extraordinary events, strategically placed camera traps deep in the Congo Basin have uncovered the behavior of an elusive species of African monkey known as the “lesula.”
Accurately counting manatee aggregations within a region is crucial yet challenging. Harnessing the power of AI, researchers are among the first to use a deep learning-based crowd counting approach to automatically count the number of manatees in a designated region, using images captured from CCTV cameras, which are readily available, as input.
Lung airway cells of people with alcohol use disorder developed “enhanced inflammation” three days after being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a new study from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta and the University of Georgia.
Around Anchorage, communications among the critically endangered population of Cook Inlet beluga whales may be masked by ship noise in their core critical habitat, accordingly to the first repertoire of their calls.
Psychologists and geographers at DePaul University are creating a new protocol to measure a new dimension of public spaces: Whether people of diverse backgrounds feel welcome in a community space.
Objects in space reveal different aspects of their composition and behavior at different wavelengths of light. Supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) is one of the most well-studied objects in the Milky Way across the wavelength spectrum.
This innovation in forest biometrics introduces advanced models for accurately predicting the size and carbon-storing capacity of American forests, playing a key role in combating climate change and guiding sustainable forest management efforts.
To reduce marine debris, which causes serious environmental pollution in the sea, researchers at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) have developed a technology for reducing floating debris in rivers.
Researchers from UC San Diego have shown unambiguous laboratory evidence that amino acids transported in the ice plumes of Saturn's moon, Eceladus, can survive impact speeds of up to 4.2 km/s, supporting their detection during sampling by spacecraft.
Elham Azizi is on a mission to better understand the complexities of cancer through the design of sophisticated data-driven computational methods. Her motivation, like many of her peers in the field, is to be able to identify and predict what drives cancer growth in the hopes of improving therapies that work best for each individual patient.
The holidays can be the best of times or the worst of times. High-energy celebrations, the emphasis on good tidings of joy, and reunions with families and friends can bring happiness and comfort, but they can have the opposite effect on people feeling isolated and alone, especially older adults.
Since 2011, parts of the Indian River Lagoon’s benthic cover has changed from primarily seagrass until 2015, to primarily the green macroalga C. prolifera after 2018. While native to the lagoon, C. prolifera acts as an invasive species that can move into new spaces and dominate due to its competitive ability in impaired habitats.
In a unique case study, UniSA researchers have explored the lived experiences of a self-identified persistent bully – a voice that is scarce in literature – to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that may contribute to this anti-social aggressive behaviour.
ECHO’s nutrition data, covering pregnancy to adolescence, allows researchers to investigate the intersection of nutrition and child health. This de-identified data is now available on the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Data and Specimen Hub.
ASU’s research enterprise has leaped forward again, according to the National Science Foundation’s Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey. With $797.2 million in research expenditures for fiscal year 2022, ASU ranked No. 38 overall (out of 899 institutions), a jump of four places from the prior fiscal year. ASU ranked in the top 4% for all universities with research expenditures, ahead of the University of Chicago, University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Purdue University and the University of Colorado-Boulder.
The 18% growth rate from FY21 ($677.7 million) was among the largest for the top 50 research universities in the country, according to the HERD Survey.
