Rice University researchers propose a new detector design that relies on semiconductor materials to search for axions, hypothetical particles believed to make up dark matter. The proposed detector aims to convert axions into photons, enhancing the photon signal to detect dark matter more easily.
A new study projects that as many as 500,000 people could be affected and 1 in 35 properties damaged by flooding in 32 US coastal cities by 2050. The research highlights racial and socioeconomic demographics of those potentially affected.
Physicists at the University of Southampton successfully detect weak gravitational pull on microscopic particles using a new technique. The experiment, published in Science Advances, could pave the way to finding the elusive quantum gravity theory.
Researchers leverage AI to analyze healthcare data and identify new targets for effective therapies and accelerate drug development in aging research. AI can tailor cancer treatment more precisely to individual patients' unique aging profiles, optimizing treatment outcomes and minimizing risks.
Researchers at Incheon National University have developed an IoT-enabled, real-time object detection system for autonomous vehicles. The YOLOv3-based model achieved high accuracy (>96%) in detecting 2D and 3D objects, outperforming other state-of-the-art detection models.
Physicists at Rice University have created a quantum simulator that reveals the behavior of electrons in one-dimensional wires, shedding light on spin-charge separation. The study's findings have implications for quantum computing and electronics with atom-scale wires.
