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?.....»»
What big data reveals about online extremism
As extremist groups and fringe movements like QAnon have gained mainstream awareness, their ability to rapidly proliferate misinformation and conspiracies has put social media platforms under heightened public scrutiny. Facebook, Twitter, and other t.....»»
Compound shows promise for minimizing erratic movements in Parkinson’s patients

Scientists to map fungal networks, determine climate role
Scientists from the United States and Europe announced plans Tuesday to create the biggest map of underground fungal networks, arguing they are an important but overlooked piece in the puzzle of how to tackle climate change......»»
Scientists can control brain circuits, behavior, and emotion using light
Scientists can control brain circuits, behavior, and emotion using light. Researchers developed a new optogenetic tool, 'Opto-vTrap', which is expected to contribute to treatment for epilepsy, muscle spasms, and skin wrinkles......»»
A retina-inspired device that can detect and recognize movements in the environment
Devices that can automatically detect and recognize moving objects have numerous valuable applications, for instance, enhancing remote environmental monitoring. Most existing motion detection and recognition (MDR) technologies are based on image sens.....»»
South Korea Will Use VR To Determine If the Elderly Can Keep Driving
The Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) is pushing for the implementation of conditional driver's licenses for the elderly by 2025, Yonhap News reports. How they'll determine who gets to keep their licenses will be via virtual reality. The Next Web.....»»
Scientists determine the mode of action of essential proteins involved in cancer and Alzheimer"s disease
The proteins that belong to the HAT family are essential for life as they transport amino acids across the cell membrane. Although the members of this family are practically identical, some transport certain amino acids and not others. This specializ.....»»
Medline and Sterigenics would have to report ethylene oxide emissions under new EPA proposal
After snubbing a federal right-to-know law for years, two Chicago-area companies could soon be forced to join competitors that make it relatively easy for Americans to determine how much cancer-causing ethylene oxide drifts into their communities......»»
Scientists capture electron transfer image in electrocatalysis process
The involvement between electron transfer (ET) and catalytic reaction at electrocatalyst surface makes electrochemical process challenging to understand and control. How to experimentally determine ET process occurring at nanoscale is important to un.....»»
Machine learning solves the who"s who problem in NMR spectra of organic crystals
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy—a technique that measures the frequencies emitted by the nuclei of some atoms exposed to radio waves in a strong magnetic field—can be used to determine chemical and 3D structures as well.....»»
Creating coherent device motion based on coordinated microscopic movements
Thanks to work by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators, scientists are closer to creating devices that can use microscopic movements in a coordinated way to create coherent motion on a macroscopic scale. This.....»»
Sea lion whiskers can move like human fingertips: here"s how we found out
Humans have amazing fingertips. They are sensitive and can be moved over objects to feel its softness, texture, size and shape. These movements are both complex, and "task-specific". This means that you adopt different movements depending on what you.....»»
Orbital harmony limits late arrival of water on TRAPPIST-1 planets
Seven Earth-sized planets orbit the star TRAPPIST-1 in near-perfect harmony, and U.S. and European researchers have used that harmony to determine how much physical abuse the planets could have withstood in their infancy......»»
Enhanced triboelectric nanogenerators of polymeric sulfur blends with toxin-free synthesis
A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an energy-harvesting device that converts mechanical energy into electricity through contact separation or relative sliding movements of two opposite tribo-polar materials. Researchers from Inha University prev.....»»
Women are less blinded by attractiveness than men
Many studies in psychology have shown that people judge how trustworthy a person is on the basis of their first impression of the other person's facial features. Whether there actually are differences between men and women in this respect has now bee.....»»

"Mantle wind" blows through slab window beneath Panama
Volcanic gasses are helping researchers track large-scale movements in Earth's deep interior. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientists, together with a group of international collaborators, have discovered anomalous geochemical composit.....»»
Bird study illustrates the interplay between disease transmission and behavior
A study examining eye disease in a common bird species shows how pathology and behavior interact in complex ways that determine how widely a pathogen can spread......»»
Specific facial features can help distinguish children from adults
Identifying specific facial features that can be used to distinguish a child's face from an adult's may offer a useful tool for determining whether children are depicted in indecent images of children, according to new research......»»
New technique for examining gene expression revolutionizes venom research
