    AI helps driverless cars predict how unseen pedestrians may move

    Adding this algorithm to the advanced AI models typically used in autonomous vehicles could help driverless cars make faster and more accurate decisions on the road, even during those unexpected situations they weren’t trained to handle.


    Why are scientists suddenly interested in UFOs?

    Why are scientists suddenly interested in UFOs?

    Examples of reflective objects include a mirror, a smooth metal can, a car window, a glass bottle, ice, snow or the watery surface of a lake.

    Thunderstorms churn up a ‘boiling pot’ of high-energy gamma rays

    terrestrial gamma-ray flash: A brief burst of gamma rays, a high-energy type of radiation, that can be produced in Earth’s atmosphere (usually due to thunderstorms).


    Boston Dynamics’ robot dog Spot can now ‘play fetch’ — thanks to MIT breakthrough

    Boston Dynamics’ robot dog Spot can now ‘play fetch’ — thanks to MIT breakthrough

    The researchers achieved this level of granularity with Clio by combining large language models (LLMs) — multiple virtual neural networks that underpin artificial intelligence tools, systems and services — that have been trained to identify all manner of objects, with computer vision.


    AI can use tourist photos to help track Antarctica’s penguins

    AI can use tourist photos to help track Antarctica’s penguins

    This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time – which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world where aerial drone or aircraft surveys are done infrequently.


    Using AI, historians track how astronomy ideas spread in the 16th century

    Using AI, historians track how astronomy ideas spread in the 16th century

    “When you deal with the scientific revolution, the triumph of the Copernican worldview, we know the big names,” says computational scientist JĂŒrgen Renn of the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology in Jena, Germany, who was not involved in the new work.

    Lasers reveal Maya city, including thousands of structures, hidden in Mexico

    ” Consistently, everywhere that this type of job is done, there’s more settlement [found],” Thomas Fort, an archaeologist at the College of Texas at Austin that was not associated with the research study, told Live Scientific research. “It all gives even more pieces for this massive problem, and every problem piece matters.” The following action...

    How insects can help catch rhino poachers

    Their analysis of the cases, which occurred between 2014 and 2021, involved tallying the various insect species present at each stage of decomposition, comparing the minimum postmortem interval estimates and factoring in the average ambient temperature during each time period.


    Our brains can understand written sentences in the ‘blink of an eye,’ study reveals

    Our brains can understand written sentences in the ‘blink of an eye,’ study reveals

    Participants performed their best when the sentences contained a subject, verb and object, with the fastest brain activity being seen for phrases such as "nurses clean wounds," compared to noun lists like "hearts lungs livers."
