A tool originally designed to monitor the erosion of Scotland's coast has proven its worth on a tropical island the other side of the world. The open-source tool, called VedgeSat, was developed by researchers from the University of Glasgow as a more affordable and accessible alternative to traditional methods of coastal management.

If you, as a user, want to protect your privacy, it is not enough to ask tech companies to delete your data. What the companies' AI models have learned from that data must also be unlearned. Researchers from SDU Applied AI and Data Science have now found a way to do this without weakening model performance.

Together with a team in China a team at TU Wien extends the capabilities of quantum computers: Instead of combinations of 0s and 1s, the new technology uses four different states simultaneously.

Breakthrough could accelerate drug discovery, improve vaccine development and reduce costs and emissions in logistics and transportation, researchers say McGill and Queen's researchers have built an improved version of a computer that uses light to solve extremely hard problems more quickly and at larger scale than existing systems, without the need for cryogenic cooling.

Research teams from the Universities of Stuttgart and Würzburg have jointly realised a single photon source that generates photons in the telecommunication C band with unprecedented quality and on demand.

A team of researchers has taken a major step towards resolving the problem of drift in generative video, which is what causes sequences to become incoherent after a handful of seconds.

A team of scientists from EPFL and Alaska Pacific University has developed an AI program that can recognize individual bears in the wild, despite the substantial changes that occur in their appearance over the summer season.

Which vinegrowing practices should be adopted to anticipate climate change? A team from the University of Geneva and Agroscope provides clues using climate analogues. What will the climate of a given region be like in 20, 30 or 50 years? Climate analogues provide a robust methodological framework to address this question by identifying regions whose current climate matches the future climate of another area.

Scientists discover first method to safely back up quantum information. A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the fundamental "no cloning" problem. Quantum computing is an exciting technological frontier, where information is stored and processed in tiny units - called qubits.

A team of researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has developed an innovative algorithm for Wi-Fi networks called "Ponte" that can provide

Researchers at University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have reached a milestone in quantum information science: using a quantum computer to simulate how matter can behave in extreme environments, like the early universe after the big bang.

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered an unexpected connection between two very different areas of artificial intelligence: Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve logical problems-without actually "understanding" them. Anyone who has spent hours struggling with a Sudoku puzzle knows the feeling: you're stuck until suddenly a small hint sets the entire solution in motion.

Five minutes of training can significantly improve people's ability to identify fake faces created by artificial intelligence, new research shows. Scientists from the Universities of Leeds, Reading, Greenwich and Lincoln tested 664 participants' ability to distinguish between real human faces and faces generated by computer software called StyleGAN3.

A new look at sleep monitoring Two researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology and their team develop new ways to monitor sleep disorders. Sebastiaan Overeem and Merel van Gilst don't necessarily want more accuracy when gathering sleep data from patients with sleeping disorders. Instead, they want more room for uncertainty and ways to show that.

A scientific study led by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and partly funded by the European Research Council (ERC) has determined that the size and composition of our social support networks directly influence how we perceive our body image. The findings could help us in treating conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, and other eating disorders.

A new software enables brain simulations which both imitate the processes in the brain in detail and can solve challenging cognitive tasks. The program was developed by a research team at the Cluster of Excellence 'Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science' at the University of Tübingen. The software thus forms the basis for a new generation of brain simulations which allow deeper insights into the functioning and performance of the brain.

TU/e makes new medical AI model available worldwide Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have developed a medical AI model that helps doctors identify abnormalities in CT scans at an earlier stage, enabling faster diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. The model was trained on more than a quarter of a million CT scans.

Researchers have developed and tested Votegral a complete e-voting pipeline, demonstrating for the first time that there is a plausible and practical approach to coercion-resistant electronic voting in elections. Over the past decade, many studies have identified coercion and corruption as major challenges for electoral integrity around the world.

Is your ultra-high-definition television really worth it? Do you need a 4K or an 8K screen to get the best viewing experience at home? According to researchers at the University of Cambridge and Meta Reality Labs, the human eye has a resolution limit: in other words, there are only so many pixels the eye can see.

Quantum researchers in the twenty-first century are part of an international network that requires a great deal of interaction and communication. Around one hundred publications on the topic are produced every day, often by authors who work in close collaboration with one another. New developments and discoveries are quickly integrated into the field, usually within a matter of just a few weeks.
