GM plant tech boosts malaria drug yield Scientists have modified a plant's genes to make it produce high levels of a key malaria drug, potentially helping meet the large global demand. [BBC News Africa]  New study shows wearable technology also contributes to distracted driving A new study examines wearable technology and whether it affects drivers' concentration. Scientists have discovered that while a driver texting with a wearable device can marginally reduce their level of distraction, it ultimately makes texting while driving just as dangerous as with an (...) [Science daily] Salisbury attack: Scientist Vladimir Uglev 'helped create Novichok' Scientist Vladimir Uglev has no doubt the agent that poisoned the Skripals was made in Russia. [BBC News Europe] Diamond-like carbon is formed differently to what was believed -- machine learning enables development of new model Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in computational science by combining atomic-level modelling and machine learning. For the first time, the method has been used to realistically model how an amorphous material is formed at the atomic level: that is, a material that does not have (...) [Science daily] Writing and deleting magnets with lasers Scientists have found a way to write and delete magnets in an alloy using a laser beam -- a surprising effect. The reversibility of the process opens up new possibilities in the fields of material processing, optical technology, and data (...) [Science daily] Scientists uncover how to stop cyber intrusions Researchers have found a proverbial smoking gun signature of the long sought-after Majorana particle, and the find, they say, could block intruders on sensitive communication networks. [Science daily] When superconductivity disappears in the core of a quantum tube Predicting the behavior of electrons in a material is not easily done. Physicists have replaced the electrons with ultra-cold neutral lithium atoms that they had circulated in a one-dimensional quantum tube. The scientists were able to confirm an unusual state of matter that retains its (...) [Science daily] Scientists teach computers how to analyze brain cells In the early days of neuroscience research, scientists painstakingly stained brain cells and drew by hand what they saw in a microscope. Fast forward to 2018 and machines may be able to learn how to do that work. According to a new study, it may be possible to teach machines how to pick out (...) [Science daily] Student develops gaming technology for scientific research Scientists have developed a new method and software for using computer game technology for complex scientific and engineering simulations. [Science daily] How social media helps scientists get the message across Analyzing the famous academic aphorism 'publish or perish' through a modern digital lens, a group of emerging ecologists and conservation scientists wanted to see whether communicating their new research discoveries through social media -- primarily Twitter -- eventually leads to higher (...) [Science daily] COGNITUUM Artificial General Intelligence Platform Wins Prestigious Award COGNITUUM has won the prestigious Entrepreneurial Challenge for its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) platform. - - The award cited the COGNITUUM platform for its “unique approach to the AGI framework that combines aspects from both quantum information science and neuroscience --†the company (...) [WebWire Internet technology] COGNITUUM Artificial General Intelligence Platform Wins Prestigious Award COGNITUUM has won the prestigious Entrepreneurial Challenge for its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) platform. - - The award cited the COGNITUUM platform for its “unique approach to the AGI framework that combines aspects from both quantum information science and neuroscience --†the company (...) [WebWire Internet technology] Making computer animation more agile, acrobatic -- and realistic Animation in film and video games is hard to make realistic: each action typically requires creating a separate controller, while deep reinforcement learning has yet to generate realistic human or animal motion. Computer scientists have now developed an algorithm that uses reinforcement (...) [Science daily] Diamond-based circuits can take the heat for advanced applications When power generators transfer electricity, they lose almost 10 percent of the generated power. To address this, scientists are researching new diamond semiconductor circuits to make power conversion systems more efficient. Researchers have now successfully fabricated a key circuit in power (...) [Science daily] Paralyzed patient feels sensation again Using a tiny array of electrodes implanted in the brain's somatosensory cortex, scientists have induced sensations of touch and movement in the hand and arm of a paralyzed man.
