Cold antimatter for quantum state-resolved precision measurements

Why does the universe contain matter and (virtually) no antimatter? Scientists have achieved an experimental breakthrough in this context. It can contribute to measuring the mass and magnetic moment of antiprotons more precisely than ever before — and thus identify possible matter-antimatter asymmetries. They have developed a trap, which can cool individual antiprotons much more

Healthy AI: Sustainable artificial intelligence for healthcare

Researchers investigated the environmental costs of AI, including energy consumption of AI systems in the medical field, carbon emissions of data centers, and electronic waste issues. Specific solutions to mitigate these environmental impacts were discussed, including the development of energy-efficient AI models, the implementation of green computing, and the use of renewable energy.

Dopamine physiology in the brain unveiled through cutting-edge brain engineering

Researchers have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain requires fast neural signal processing in a short period of less than a second. Dopamine is known to have the strongest effect on brain neural signals, but the research team’s newly developed ‘optical neural

Demographics of north African human populations unravelled using genomic data and artificial intelligence

A new study places the origin of the Imazighen in the Epipaleolithic, more than twenty thousand years ago. The research concludes that the genetic origin of the current Arab population of north Africa is far more recent than previously believed, placing it in the seventh century AD. The team has designed an innovative demographic model

Stacked up against the rest

Scientists have hypothesized that moir excitons — electron-hole pairs confined in moir interference fringes which overlap with slightly offset patterns — may function as qubits in next-generation nano-semiconductors. However, due to diffraction limits, it has not been possible to focus light enough in measurements, causing optical interference from many moir excitons. To solve this, researchers
