Researchers at Linkoping University in Sweden have conducted an experiment confirming a theory about quantum mechanics. The study, led by Guilherme B Xavier, explores the wave-particle duality of light, a concept dating back to Isaac Newton. The experiment, involving researchers from Poland and Chile, uses photons with orbital angular momentum to confirm a 2014 theory linking the complementarity principle with entropic uncertainty. This research could have future applications in quantum communication and cryptography.

When devices can read human emotions without a camera: Study
24 days ago
2 mins
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University, led by Professor Shogo Okamoto, have used skin conductance measurements to study emotions. Volunteers watched videos of fear, family bonding, and humor while their skin's electrical properties were monitored. The study found that fear responses lasted the longest, while family bonding responses were slower. This research could lead to devices that understand emotions by analyzing biological signals, offering an alternative to facial expression analysis.

Researchers at University College London found that large language models (LLMs) can predict neuroscience study outcomes more accurately than human experts. Using a tool called BrainBench, they tested 15 LLMs and 171 human experts, with LLMs achieving 81% accuracy compared to humans' 63%. A specialized LLM, BrainGPT, reached 86% accuracy. This study highlights AI's potential in scientific research, suggesting it could aid in designing experiments and predicting outcomes. The research involved international collaboration and support from various institutions.

Study finds how gut microbes play role in regulating stress responsiveness throughout day
about 2 months ago
3 mins
A study by University College Cork and APC Microbiome Ireland reveals that gut bacteria play a crucial role in managing stress through interactions with circadian rhythms. Published in Cell Metabolism, the research shows that gut microbiota influence the body's stress response system, the HPA-axis, in a time-dependent manner. Specific bacteria, like Lactobacillus reuteri, were identified as key influencers. This discovery opens new possibilities for psychobiotic treatments targeting gut bacteria to improve mental health, especially in today's stress-filled world.

Scientists at the Van Andel Institute in Michigan have found that limiting cancer cells' access to fat may improve the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments. The study, published in Cell Chemical Biology, highlights the potential of dietary changes to enhance anti-cancer therapies. By focusing on ferroptosis, a type of cell death, researchers showed that reducing fat access makes cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in other cancer models.
