Examples of abnormal signals. Shown are raw data, log-spectrogram, and obtained coefficient distribution per level for two abnormal measurements of the slider rail 0 at SNR 0 dB. Credit: DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2106598119 Sounds offer crucial info regarding how well a device is running. ETH scientists have now developed a new machine learning strategy that detects whether...
Credit: Renascença. Russia's failure to attain an immediate victory over Ukraine has carried the West to consider what its own goals in the conflict need to be. In performing that, it must walk a fine line between the disgrace of insufficient action and the danger of strategic hubris. VIENNA-- We know what Russian President Vladimir Putin...
Identifying how neural activity changes with learning is anything but black and white. Recently, some have presumed that learning in the brain, or biological learning, may be visualized in terms of optimization, which is how learning happens in artificial networks like computers or robots. A new approaches piece co-authored by Carnegie Mellon University and University...

Researchers at IIT and INAIL in Italy are working on new concepts of wearable robotic exoskeletons for the reduction of the risks of work-related injuries. Credit: IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Scientists at IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italian Institute of Technology) and INAIL (Italian Worker's Compensation Authority) have designed and produced innovative prototypes of wearable robotic...
While access to food is a nationwide worry, college students go through food insecurity four times more often than the general public. A study article featured in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, released by Elsevier, goes over how students' use of a campus food pantry can favorably affect their physical and mental...
In association with the British High Commission in Bangladesh, the Directorate General of Nursing and Midwifery (DGNM) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) arranged a dissemination seminar on Wednesday 1 June 2022, at the auditorium of DGNM in Dhaka to share findings of two studies on midwifery in Bangladesh. Those two independent pieces of...
But do not be too thrilled-- the researchers say it might easily just be a misidentified transmission from us humans. Credit: NASA. A group of Chinese and American researchers put their reputation on the line with a bold claim: that, with many caveats, a recently identified narrowband signal could indicate intelligent extraterrestrial life. The uncommon signal-- captured...
The study indicates the existence of exploratory and active personality types in farmed calves. Using top-notch sensor technologies, experts at the University of Nottingham have found that calves reared on ranches not only vary considerably in their movement and space patterns. However, likewise, some calves are also more predictable in their habits than others. Individual personality...
Fig. 1: Schematic view of the 3He+ ion’s external and internal magnetic interactions. Background: microwave radiation. Credit: MPI In joint experimental-theoretical research published in Nature, physicists at the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), together with collaborators from RIKEN, Japan, investigated the magnetic properties of the isotope helium-3. For the first time, the electronic and...
