PET scans are a big deal in medicine. They help doctors see inside the body. But sometimes, the pictures come out blurry. This happens because tiny light particles, called gamma photons, bounce around. They hit different spots than they should. This is called inter-crystal scattering, or ICS for sho
Crypto is tricky. It's open for all to see, but it's also sneaky. This makes it hard to catch people doing bad things with money. Old ways of spotting trouble don't always work well. So, some smart folks came up with a new tool called ChronoWave-GNN. It's like a super-smart detective that looks at m
Scientists have created a new method to study how brain cells connect and communicate. They used tiny clusters of brain cells from the cortex and hippocampus. These clusters were allowed to join together on their own, without any artificial support. This setup mimics how brain cells naturally form n
Ear infections, especially in early childhood, can lead to temporary hearing problems. This can happen during a key time when kids' hearing is still developing. Some experts think this might affect how kids process sounds, understand speech, and even remember things. A recent study looked at kids a
Scientists wanted to see how muscles and the brain work together to get better at handling tough exercises. They looked at how muscles react to intense workouts and how the brain helps them recover faster over time. They had 23 people do two rounds of tough leg exercises, with a break of three week
Ever wondered why some older folks seem to have a sharper mind than others? It might have something to do with their brain waves and how they handle tougher thinking tasks. A recent study looked into this by comparing two groups of older adults: those with high cognitive reserve (HCR) and those with
Fake news spreads like wildfire on social media. It's not just one person sharing a false story. It's a group of people, a community, working together. These communities are not static. They change over time. People join, leave, and new groups form. This makes it hard to track how fake news spreads.
At the Consumer Electronics Show, a unique demo caught attention. It wasn't about the latest phone or TV, but about controlling a car's dashboard with just a wristband. Meta and Garmin teamed up to show off this idea. The band, worn on the wrist, picks up tiny electrical signals from finger movement
The building industry is going green, and recycled cement mortar (RCM) is getting attention. It's eco-friendly, but how strong is it? That's where smart tech comes in. Scientists used artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the strength of RCM. They added some smart algorithms to make the ANNs
People are using smart computers to make new medicines. These computers can look at tiny parts of medicine and guess how they work. They can also make new medicines that might help people feel better. First, the computers learn about medicines. They look at how medicines are built. Then, they guess
