Osaka, Japan (SPX) Feb 15, 2023 - Semiconductors are a key component in smartphones, televisions, and other devices used in daily life using these devices generates heat, resulting in performance degradation and a shorter product life due to the rise in temperature. Therefore, there is a demand for new materials with high thermal conductivity.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is attracting significant attention as a semiconductor material for next-generation power electronics. Generally, the simpler the crystal structure... Читать дальше...

Beijing (XNA) Feb 09, 2023 - China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has identified over 740 pulsars since its launch, the research team has announced.

Pulsars, or fast-spinning neutron stars, originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosions.

Washington DC (SPX) Feb 09, 2023 - Over the course of billions of years, galaxies grow and evolve by forging new stars and merging with other galaxies through aptly named "galactic immigration" events. Astronomers try to uncover the histories of these immigration events by studying the motions of individual stars throughout a galaxy and its extended halo of stars and dark matter. Such cosmic archaeology, however, has only been possible in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, until now.

An international... Читать дальше...

Austin TX (SPX) Feb 10, 2023 - Astronomers have barely scratched the surface of mapping the nearly endless stars and galaxies of the heavens. Using supercomputers, researchers with The University of Texas at Austin have has now revealed the locations of more than 200,000 new astronomical objects. Their goal is to map even more and use that knowledge to predict the ultimate fate of the universe.

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) has scanned the dark skies of the Davis... Читать дальше...

Beijing, China (SPX) Feb 15, 2023 - The second phase of China's deep space observation radar facility, dubbed "China Compound Eye", started construction Tuesday in southwestern Chongqing, according to the Beijing Institute of Technology.

Covering an area of more than 300 mu (20 hectares), the new phase will see the construction of 25 high-resolution radars, each with a diameter of 30 meters, and is expected to be completed in 2025.

Madrid, Spain (SPX) Feb 15, 2023 - "BOOTES is the result of almost twenty-five years of continuous effort, since we installed the first station in 1998 at INTA (Arenosillo, Huelva), the institution that initially supported the project. The complete deployment represents a scientific milestone since it is the first robotic network with a presence on all continents", according to Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, scientist at IAA-CSIC acting as Principal Investigator since the very beginning. This is ahead of the American project... Читать дальше...

San Antonio TX (SPX) Feb 15, 2023 - NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft has completed the Mission Critical Design Review and is on track to meet its scheduled 2025 launch. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is managing the payload office, providing the scientific instrument Compact Dual Ion Composition Experiment (CoDICE) and is participating on other instrument teams for the mission, which will study the interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium...

Boston MA (SPX) Feb 10, 2023 - Launched in November 2022, ChatGPT is a chatbot that can not only engage in human-like conversation, but also provide accurate answers to questions in a wide range of knowledge domains. The chatbot, created by the firm OpenAI, is based on a family of "large language models" - algorithms that can recognize, predict, and generate text based on patterns they identify in datasets containing hundreds of millions of words.

In a study appearing in PLOS Digital Health this week... Читать дальше...

Boston MA (SPX) Feb 08, 2023 - Large language models like OpenAI's GPT-3 are massive neural networks that can generate human-like text, from poetry to programming code. Trained using troves of internet data, these machine-learning models take a small bit of input text and then predict the text that is likely to come next.

But that's not all these models can do. Researchers are exploring a curious phenomenon known as in-context learning, in which a large language model learns to accomplish a... Читать дальше...

Boston MA (SPX) Feb 09, 2023 - First, there was music. Then lights began sweeping the smokey arena. The cage came alive with rotating steel blades and fire pits. The crowd grew hysterical in anticipation of the coming destruction.

Such was the scene of the momentous championship match in the last season of BattleBots, a popular, long-running show that pits 250-pound robots against each other for epic bouts of cataclysmic combat. In the match, MIT PhD student Ginger Schmidt became the first female captain (in this case... Читать дальше...

Boston MA (SPX) Feb 13, 2023 - Companies today are incorporating artificial intelligence into every corner of their business. The trend is expected to continue until machine-learning models are incorporated into most of the products and services we interact with every day.

As those models become a bigger part of our lives, ensuring their integrity becomes more important. That's the mission of Verta, a startup that spun out of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Читать дальше...

Washington DC (SPX) Feb 14, 2023 - In less than three years, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms developed under DARPA's Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program have progressed from controlling simulated F-16s flying aerial dogfights on computer screens to controlling an actual F-16 in flight.

In early December 2022, ACE algorithm developers uploaded their AI software into a specially modified F-16 test aircraft known as the X-62A or VISTA (Variable In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft), at the... Читать дальше...

Popular gifts like lingerie are cheaper in February, says DealNews, as big retailers discount these items to get customers in stores.

In Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’  – Silas, the albino plays a prominent role.   In some ways, unnatural things garner more attention.  Melanin is a pigment  found in most organisms.   Albinism (from Latin albus, "white") is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin. Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates... Читать дальше...
