Scientists discover hidden 'knots' in the fabric of spacetime
4+ hour, 3+ min ago (391+ words) Spacetime, the invisible fabric stitching the universe together, could actually be far more complex than previously believed. Long ago, Einstein gave us a set of equations describing how stars and galaxies bend and curve spacetime. Over the decades, physicists came…...
Smarter AI, same data: A new approach
3+ mon, 1+ week ago (276+ words) Frontier AI has grown fast but still struggles with complex reasoning. UC Riverside researchers showed that standard tests underrate these models and introduced Test-Time Matching (TTM), a method that helps AI reason more like humans without extra training. The method…...
Board games affect the development of early maths skills in young children
3+ mon, 2+ week ago (513+ words) Just ten minutes of play on a simple number board game can give kids a bigger boost in math than hours of memorizing drills. In these games, children move pieces along a straight, numbered path, like a mini race track…...
AI detects hidden signs of depression in students' facial expressions
7+ mon, 1+ week ago (471+ words) Subthreshold depression (St D) is a mild form of depression, not strong enough for a clinical diagnosis, but still a warning sign for future mental health issues. Think of it as being on the edge of full-blown depression. People with depression…...
AI-powered material discovery is reshaping the future of batteries
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (303+ words) In a significant leap forward for battery innovation, scientists from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University and China's Huaiyin Normal University have teamed up to create an AI-powered system that could drastically improve how rechargeable batteries are made. Led by Dr. Edison…...
MIT's Robot Lab Assistant Learns Like a Scientist, No Supervision Required
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (407+ words) But here's the twist: instead of relying on tons of labeled data or pixel-perfect precision, the MIT team created a self-supervised system. That means the robot learns on its own, using smart algorithms to copy how scientists work; no hand-holding…...
