New convolutional neural network can analyze compounds in the human breath and detect illnesses. The technology makes the whole process fast, less expensive, and more reliable. It can be used in forensics, medicine and environmental analysis...
Milky Way consists of very high amount of carbonaceous dust, and now similar type of cosmic dust has been observed in galaxies 11 billion light-years away from Earth. This comes from a recently detected ultraviolet carbonaceous dust in a gamma-ray...
New convolutional network learns to copy colors from one reference frame to subsequent frames. While doing so, it can follow different objects and track through occlusions. It can also track human poses. Teaching machines to track objects in a...
The new coating technique makes natural fabric water-repellent, and it works better than existing methods. The fabrics have passed repeated washing tests and harsh abrasion tests without any degradation and damage to the coating. Waterproof fabrics...
Astrophysicists determine new constraints on radii and tidal deformabilities of neutron stars. They compared 2 billion theoretical models with gravitational waves captured in 2017. This allowed them to deduce the size of neutron stars within a...
Researchers develop a neural network that can produce full 3D hair geometry from 2D image. The network is capable of rendering up to 30,000 strands of hair in milliseconds. It can smoothly sample and interpolate variety of hairstyles, including...
Researchers develop a new method to measure magnetic fields using quantum system and machine learning techniques. They reach a sensitivity that is 6 times higher than what can be achieved with conventional techniques. There are certain limits to...
Astrophysicist reevaluated Drake equation using current scientific knowledge and astrobiology literature. They concluded that there is substantial probability (up to 85%) that we are alone in the observable universe. The astonishingly large number...
Scientists have identified 1,016 specific genes and 205 regions in DNA associated with intelligence. The study deepens our understanding of neurobiology of cognitive functions, and genetically linked psychiatric and neurological disorders. ...
Researchers analyzed the structure of the group of bitcoin owners by observing transaction made from 2009 to 2013. The study reveals that bitcoin owners are oligarchs, and most of the wealth is concentrated in hands of small group of users. Bitcoin...
A new algorithm exponentially speeds up computation by drastically decreasing the number of iterations required to solve a problem. It performs far better than conventional (sequential) algorithms on large scale datasets, such as social media...
DARPA has developed machine learning-based tools to produce new molecules. The program, named Make-It, can speed up the process of chemical discovery for several military products and applications. One of the toughest challenges of modern-era...
