New study reveals unintended ethical faultline in team-based reward systems
Employers who have introduced team-based rewards systems to foster creativity, collaboration, productivity and sales may want to look again at a system that new research shows can create an unintended, insidious side-effect......»»
Researchers present "domino effect" sensing mechanism to detect amine approaching picomolar level
Accurate and sensitive detection of amines is crucial in industrial safety, environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis. Ongoing research and development of sensing materials offer promise for enhancing the sensitivity and selectivity of amine de.....»»
Paper offers a mathematical approach to modeling a random walker moving across a random landscape
Tiny particles like pollen grains move constantly, pushed and pulled by environmental forces. To study this motion, physicists use a "random walk" model—a system in which every step is determined by a random process. Random walks are useful for stu.....»»
TikTok ban: Congress and Biden in favor, but Senate may block
There’s been significant progress toward a US TikTok ban, with Congress looking likely to vote in favor, and President Biden confirming that he will sign the bill if it passes – but the latest report saying that it may be blocked by the Senate......»»
AI"s inability to determine cause and effect holds back AVs
While AVs can be trained to recognize and respond to known objects, AI's inability to make cause-effect connections to process novelty is at the root of the autonomy industry's challenges to scale the technology safely......»»

Scientists propose new theory that explains sand ripples on Mars and on Earth
Sand ripples are fascinating. They are symmetrical, yet wind, which causes them, is very much not. Furthermore, they can be found on Mars and on Earth. It would be even more fascinating if the same effect found on Mars could be found here on Earth as.....»»
Exploring exotic behaviors in population-imbalanced fermionic systems
Over the past 20 years, many physicists have studied ultra-cold fermionic systems contained in magnetic or optical traps. When an external magnetic field is applied to a two-species fermionic system, the particles can pair together to form composite.....»»
News reports that don"t report magnitude of scientific findings could mislead the public
When media coverage doesn't include the numerical magnitude of a scientific study's effect, the risk of readers developing biases increases significantly, according to a new University of Michigan study......»»
How organizations can keep up with shifting data privacy regulations
With no sign of regulations slowing down, enterprises struggle to keep pace with the rapid changes. According to a recent NTT Data survey of business executives, 3 in 4 organizations can’t keep up with data regulations, holding them back from succe.....»»
Scientists reveal effect of land conditions on Asian monsoon climate
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used numerical simulations to show how conditions on land impact weather during Asian summer monsoons. Focusing on the Tibetan plateau, they studied how varied land conditions combined with fixed ma.....»»
Statisticians and physicists team up to bring a machine learning approach to mining of nuclear data
Physicists use theoretical models to study physical quantities, such as the mass of nuclei, where they do not have experimental data. However, using a single imperfect theoretical model can lead to misleading results. To improve the quality of extrap.....»»
Quantum-mechanical "molecules" spotted in superconducting devices
Electronic states that resemble molecules and are promising for use in future quantum computers have been created in superconducting circuits by physicists at RIKEN......»»
What heat can tell us about battery chemistry: Using the Peltier effect to study lithium-ion cells
Batteries are usually studied via electrical properties like voltage and current, but new research suggests that observing how heat flows in conjunction with electricity can give important insights into battery chemistry......»»
