Information transition mechanisms of spatiotemporal metasurfaces
Spatiotemporal metasurfaces are analyzed from an information perspective, in which two information transition mechanisms on group extension and independent control of multiple harmonics are revealed and characterized. The information transition effic.....»»
Advanced model predicts gene architecture via nucleosome position
DNA—the molecule that carries the genetic information of all living organisms—is packaged within cells in a complex manner that allows it to function efficiently. Nucleosomes facilitate DNA compaction and also play a crucial role in regulating ge.....»»
Scientists explore whether smaller chromosomes lead to more segregation errors during egg cell division

Consumers have trust issues regarding how AI collects their data
Consumers worldwide are highly concerned about the information companies collect from them – especially when it’s used for AI, according to Cohesity. The majority of respondents (73% in the UK, 81% in the US and 82% in Australia) criticiz.....»»
Google identifies low noise “phase transition” in its quantum processor
Benchmark may help us understand how quantum computers can operate with low error. Back in 2019, Google made waves by claiming it had achieved what has been called "quantum suprem.....»»
Study proposes a new bias: The tendency to assume one has adequate information to make a decision
New experimental data support the idea that people tend to assume the information they have is adequate to comprehend a given situation, without considering that they might be lacking key information. Hunter Gehlbach of Johns Hopkins University and c.....»»

Insects from the bodies of illegally hunted rhinoceroses may provide valuable forensic information
New research in Medical and Veterinary Entomology reveals that when rhinoceroses are found dead after being illegally killed by poachers, analyzing insects on the decomposing body aids in estimating the time since death. This information has been use.....»»
The transition to a circular bioeconomy requires getting prices right, study says
Conventional food and agricultural production systems employ a linear "take, make, waste" approach: taking natural resources from the Earth to make food and fuel, generating waste that contaminates the soil and water, and emitting harmful pollutants......»»

Nanopore technique shows transport mechanism of chaperone proteins at the single-molecule level
Proteins control most of the body's functions, and their malfunction can have severe consequences, such as neurodegenerative diseases or cancer. Therefore, cells have mechanisms in place to control protein quality......»»
New research shows legal challenges to climate action on the rise
As the global push towards low-carbon societies accelerates, a new study reveals that justice concerns are increasingly surfacing in legal disputes over climate policies and projects. This phenomenon, described as "just transition litigation," emphas.....»»
Scientists explore geothermal energy potential in supercritical reservoirs
A team of EPFL scientists has provided insight into the mechanisms at work in geothermal reservoirs located deep underground, known as supercritical reservoirs. Through a combination of computer simulations and lab experiments, they showed that rocks.....»»
