An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Waterloo is building systems that mimic the human brain to improve the power efficiency and performance of artificial neural networks like those used in autonomous vehicle (AV) technology.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow are lending their expertise to a new European Principal investigator Dr Mohammad Yazdani-Asrami and co-investigator Dr Wenjuan Song, of the James Watt School

New research patterns show the connection between our gut health, our mental health and even our personality traits.

Sleep problems have become a widespread issue. In a new popular science book and in an interview with ETH News, ETH sleep researcher Caroline Lustenberger describes the do's (and don'ts) for when you can't get to sleep.

Treating bullying as everyone's problem can reduce bullying by up to 13%, finds new research. The largest trial of its kind in the UK has shown how a low-cost, structured, anti-bullying programme can improve social dynamics in primary schools and reduce victimisation.

Camera traps and drones deployed by government authorities to monitor a forest in India are infringing on the privacy and rights of local women. Nobody could have realised that camera traps put in the Indian forest to monitor mammals actually have a profoundly negative impact on the mental health of local women who use these spaces.

An artist's concept of NASA's Europa Clipper shows the spacecraft in silhouette against Europa's surface, with the magnetometer boom fully deployed at top and the antennas for the radar instrument extending out from the solar arrays.

New research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between permeability and selectivity that could inform design of water treatment systems. Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny crustaceans and certain types of coral and krill, to various molluscs, barnacles, and even massive basking sharks and baleen whales.

The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms. Visualizing the potential impacts of a hurricane on people's homes before it hits can help residents prepare and decide whether to evacuate. MIT scientists have developed a method that generates satellite imagery from the future to depict how a region would look after a potential flooding event.

Marzyeh Ghassemi works to ensure health-care models are trained to be robust and fair. Captivated as a child by video games and puzzles, Marzyeh Ghassemi was also fascinated at an early age in health.

As Baby Boomers hit retirement, about  1 in 6 Americans is now over the age of 65. The number of Americans living with dementia is projected to skyrocket - but the proportion of older Americans who develop dementia has actually decreased.

Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial.

Using energyand resource-saving methods, a research team at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at TU Graz aims to produce high-quality doped silicon layers for the electronics and solar industries.

Key takeaways Fat tissue stores energy from food and is crucial for maintaining normal glucose metabolism, but doesn't function properly in obesity when fat cells become enlarged.

52 Johns Hopkins-affiliated scholars among world's most cited researchers Annual list recognizes researchers whose publications rank in the top 1% of citations Fifty-two researchers affiliated with J

On 29 October 2024, an episode of torrential rains shook the Valencian Community, leaving behind a trail of devastation and numerous flooded municipalities.

Researchers have found 70 per cent of Australians diagnosed with major depressive disorder are not receiving even the minimal treatment necessary.

Organic semiconductors represent a transformative technology that bridges traditional electronics with the versatility of organic materials. They make flexible, wearable devices and next-generation displays possible. Crystallizable organic semiconductors (COS) represent a subset of organic electronic materials that have garnered substantial attention in recent years due to their unique properties and potential applications.

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool with sweeping implications for the U.S. workforce, but it's up to society to guide how it is used.

Caltech researchers from campus and JPL have collaborated to devise a method for coating lithium-ion battery cathodes with graphene, extending the life and performance of these widely used rechargeable batteries. These efforts have led to a promising discovery that may improve lithium-ion battery performance and reduce reliance on cobalt, an element frequently used in lithium-ion batteries that is difficult to source sustainably.

The satellite imagery was frightening: a powerful low-pressure system swirling approximately 300 miles off the coast of Washington.

In a new study, Yale researchers show that seeing tasks as a chance for children to learn reduces overparenting by about 50%. Parents are much less likely to intervene when their young children are getting dressed or performing other simple chores if those tasks are framed as learning opportunities, according to a new study by Yale researchers.

The technique could make AI systems better at complex tasks that involve variability. Fields ranging from robotics to medicine to political science are attempting to train AI systems to make meaningful decisions of all kinds.
