You can"t always determine emotion from someone"s facial movements, neither can AI
If you saw a person with their brow furrowed, mouth turned down, and eyes squinted, would you guess they're angry? What if you found out they'd forgotten their reading glasses and were deciphering a restaurant menu?.....»»
Scientists trying to determine what will happen to massive carbon stores as rainforests dry out
Tropical rainforests store 25%-40% of global soil carbon, though they occupy only 7% of Earth's land area. By functioning as a carbon sink, tropical forests prevent more severe effects from climate change......»»
Neuron movements shown to be caused by push, pull of motor proteins
Neurons, which are responsible for producing the signals that ultimately trigger an action such as talking or moving a muscle, are built and maintained by classes of motor proteins that transport molecular cargo along elongated tracks called microtub.....»»
Avian flu kills 3 California condors in northern Arizona
Three California condors have died from avian flu in northern Arizona and authorities are trying to determine what killed five others in the flock, the National Park Service announced Friday......»»
Future Apple Watch band could detect the smallest finger movements and gestures
Apple is investigating how the addition of electrodes to Apple Watch bands could detect the muscle movement and minute electrical activity when a user makes just about any finger gesture.Apple Watch already knows when you're just lazing around and sh.....»»
Providing critical insights for animal development: Biologists determine the evolutionary age of individual cell types
A research team led by Dr. Chaogu Zheng from the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has made a significant discovery about the evolutionary age of different type of cells in a small animal called Caenorhabditis elegans.....»»
Scientists use NASA satellite data to determine Belize coral reef risk
Researchers created a toolkit for determining the clarity and surface temperature of coastal waters. The data is freely accessible data and can help assess reefs around the world......»»
Can you fool a monkey with a magic trick? Only if it has opposable thumbs
Sharing biomechanical ability may be key to anticipating movements of the same limbs in others. A Humboldt's squirrel monkey is fooled by the "French Drop" magic trick. Credit: E. Garcia-Pelegrin et al., 2023.....»»
A practical method to improve the accuracy of orbit prediction and position error covariance prediction
With continuous developments in the space industry, the space near the Earth is occupied by a variety of spacecraft whose number is increasing dramatically every year. To avoid a collision, huge computation power is necessary to determine the possibi.....»»
How people move in front of an artwork can impact their experience
A recent study led by University of Vienna psychologists has shed light on the impact of viewers' movements and positioning when looking at art. By tracking participants' movements, the researchers found that these movements could be clustered into f.....»»
Biologists develop new record bright red fluorescent protein
To understand why a cell divides, secretes hormones or transmits a signal to another cell, biologists often use a trick. They attach colored lights to the proteins of interest, so that they can follow the movements and interactions of those proteins.....»»
Tesla faces new race bias trial from employee who had $137 million verdict cut

How cellular growth rate reshapes cell-fate-decision landscape
Genes and the regulation relationships among them create complex networks that determine cell differentiation trajectories. However, we still cannot understand and predict the cell-fate-decision process using network topology in a bottom-up manner......»»
Capturing a cosmogenic isotope to determine the age of artifacts
You may probably wonder how archaeologists determine the age of ancient artifacts or how long a piece of rock exists above the surface. Isotopic dating can tell the age covering hundreds of thousands of years. For instance, common carbon isotope 14C.....»»
Verosint partners with Ping Identity to detect and block account fraud
Verosint and Ping Identity partnership enables mutual customers to analyze digital identities across devices at login to determine account fraud risk. Recognized customers are granted a frictionless transaction path, whereas suspicious users are auto.....»»
Detecting face morphing: A simple guide to countering complex identity fraud
Our reliance on face matching for identity verification is being challenged by the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial morphing technology. This technique involves digitally creating an image which is an average of two people’s fac.....»»
Pulvinar slits in the cell wall of legume motor cells facilitate control of leaf movement
Plant movement has long fascinated many researchers. Legumes are a group of plants famous for exhibiting various leaf movements, including "nyctinastic movement," in which the leaves open in the day and close at night. Similar plant movements include.....»»
Forensic study sheds light on the remains of infants, children
A new forensic science study sheds light on how the bones of infants and juveniles decay. The findings will help forensic scientists determine how long a young person's remains were at a particular location, as well as which bones are best suited for.....»»
