Scientists can now assemble entire genomes on their personal computers in minutes Scientists have developed a technique for reconstructing whole genomes, including the human genome, on a personal computer. This technique is about a hundred times faster than current state-of-the-art approaches and uses one-fifth the resources. The study allows for a more compact (...) [Science daily]  New ocean temperature data help scientists make their hot predictions So many climate models, so little time ... A new way of measuring ocean temperatures helps scientists sort the likely from unlikely scenarios of global warming. [Science daily] Why Iceland’s volcanoes may aid future Mars exploration Scientists are using the country to test drone tech that could one day explore the planet's terrain. [BBC] Why Iceland’s volcanoes may aid future Mars exploration Scientists are using the country to test drone tech that could one day explore the planet's terrain. [BBC News] Just by changing its shape, scientists show they can alter material properties Scientists have observed that when the shape of a thin film of metal oxide known as titania is confined at the mesoscale, its conductivity increases. This finding demonstrates that nanoscale confinement is a way to control quantum (...) [Science daily] After 20 years of trying, scientists succeed in doping a 1D chain of cuprates After 20 years of trying, scientists doped a 1D copper oxide chain and found a surprisingly strong attraction between electrons that may factor into the material's superconducting powers. [Science daily] Researchers enlist robot swarms to mine lunar resources Building a base on the moon was once something out of science fiction, but now scientists are starting to consider it more seriously. Researchers are investigating methods for mining lunar resources to build such a base, using swarms of autonomous (...) [Science daily] New ways to improve the science of ‘trade-offs’ Researchers working on complicated problems in agriculture, ecology and medicine have developed a mathematical model to enable faster solutions. [Science daily] Scientists develop films with tunable elongation and fracture for various uses Elastic polymers, or 'elastomers,' have various applications, including in car tires and shock absorbers, and their properties are governed by the density of cross-linked polymer chains. However, these properties are usually not modifiable, leading to excessive synthesis requirements. (...) [Science daily] Scientists create a labor-saving automated method for studying electronic health records A new, automated, artificial intelligence-based algorithm can learn to read patient data from electronic health records. In a side-by-side comparison, scientists showed that their method accurately identified patients with certain diseases as well as the traditional, 'gold-standard' (...) [Science daily] This rainbow-making tech could help autonomous vehicles read signs A new study explains the science behind microscale concave interfaces (MCI) -- structures that reflect light to produce beautiful and potentially useful optical phenomena. Future applications of these effects could include aiding autonomous vehicles in recognizing traffic signs, researchers (...) [Science daily] Machine learning algorithm revolutionizes how scientists study behavior B-SOiD is an open source, unsupervised algorithm that can discover and identify behaviors without user input. [Science daily] Standards for studies using machine learning Researchers in the life sciences who use machine learning for their studies should adopt standards that allow other researchers to reproduce their results, according to a new article. [Science daily] Unease beyond the uncanny valley: How people react to the same faces If humanoid robots with the same appearance are mass-produced and become commonplace, how will human beings react to them? In a series of six experiments, scientists examined peoples' reactions when presented with images of people with the same face. Their results reveal a new phenomenon (...) [Science daily] Artificial intelligence to help predict Arctic sea ice loss A new AI (artificial intelligence) tool is set to enable scientists to more accurately forecast Arctic sea ice conditions months into the future. The improved predictions could underpin new early-warning systems that protect Arctic wildlife and coastal communities from the impacts of sea ice (...) [Science daily]
