NASARead article →Neutrinos are funny little particles that weigh almost nothing, making them one of the universe's most elusive building blocks. They can come from objects as mundane as bananas and as exotic as supernovas—the exploding death throes of massive stars. Most neutrinos stream through space and pass through the Earth without interacting with anything.
Phys.org ResearchRead article →A new gene-editing system could make it easier for researchers to introduce precise genetic changes into crops such as tomatoes, soybeans and rapeseed. Developed by researchers in China, SmartPE improves prime editing efficiency in several dicot plants, addressing a major limitation of the technique.
Phys.org ResearchRead article →A new study has mapped human urogenital development in its native spatial context, revealing how neighboring organs coordinate their development through cellular communication and molecular signaling during embryogenesis.
Phys.org ResearchRead article →Scientists have uncovered hidden aggressive cancer cells in children whose tumors were previously considered lower risk, revealing why some cases of rhabdomyosarcoma become unexpectedly deadly. The discovery could help doctors identify dangerous tumors earlier and develop personalized treatments that improve survival while reducing unnecessary chemotherapy.
ScienceDaily AllRead article →A promising new study suggests that more than half of younger adults with type 2 diabetes could achieve remission in just six months through a combination of a low-calorie diet and structured exercise. Researchers found that 54% of participants under age 45 who followed an intensive diet and exercise program achieved remission, compared with just 4% receiving usual care.
ScienceDaily AllRead article →A computer scientist has achieved a breakthrough in a nearly 25-year-old problem involving how computers calculate distances across enormous networks. The new algorithm delivers more reliable estimates for closely connected points without sacrificing speed, overcoming a longstanding limitation of earlier methods. Its secret lies in a smarter way of sampling network connections at multiple scales.
ScienceDaily AllRead article →Striped bass fishing has been Bill Jakob's passion for more than 60 years, and he remembers an era when he'd spend all night casting his line into the crashing waves off Montauk and get eight or nine fish ranging up to 40 pounds (18 kilograms), a big catch by anyone's standards.
Phys.org ResearchRead article →Deep in a forest in Indonesian Borneo, conservationists open a cage. A female orangutan and her baby waste little time, clambering up the towering trees and disappearing into the canopy, safe at last.
Phys.org ResearchRead article →In the Texas Panhandle, two livestock guardian dogs patrol a herd of cattle grazing the Rita Blanca National Grasslands. Although their singular focus is protecting the herd from would-be predators, their presence may make them wildlife conservation allies.
Phys.org ResearchRead article →arXiv:2608.08285v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Egocentric vision has scaled its corpora far faster than its instruments. Calibrated stereo rigidly coupled to a synchronized inertial stream is not new; research-grade headsets deliver it.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2607.02842v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Analog in-memory computing (IMC) has emerged as a promising approach for accelerating matrix operations by exploiting the intrinsic physics of memory arrays. To date, however, most IMC architectures have focused on linear algebra workloads in which computation is encoded in the equilibrium state of a physical system.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2606.15461v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ladder diagram (LD) is the relay-circuit language of IEC 61131-3 in which many PLC safety interlocks are written, and model checkers built on SMT solvers do not read it. A verdict reached through a translation is only as good as that translation.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2506.05994v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although deep learning has demonstrated remarkable capability in learning from unstructured data, modern tree-based ensemble models remain superior in extracting relevant information and learning from structured datasets.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.30448v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spatial Memory Streaming (SMS) prefetchers exploit recurring spatial access patterns across memory regions to predict future accesses. Despite their effectiveness, existing SMS-based designs suffer from coarse control over aggressiveness and limited adaptability to dynamic program behavior and historical patterns.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2604.11512v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The growing demand for deploying Small Language Models (SLMs) on edge devices, including laptops, smartphones, automotive and robotic computing platforms, and high-performance embedded systems, has exposed fundamental inefficiencies in existing accelerators.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.40039v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diverse optimizations spanning model architecture, inference runtime, and hardware acceleration have been proposed for on-device vision-language model (VLM) deployment on edge NPUs. Still, cross-layer coordination of VLM execution on edge NPUs remains largely underexplored.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.39572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Programmable garbled-circuit execution must balance the benefits of cross-program reuse against the cost of repeated work during secure execution. A complete garbled processor provides a fixed circuit for many programs, but its evaluator repeatedly visits processor-wide structures even when only a small part performs the current protected computation.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.39222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI accelerator architectures become increasingly diverse, integrating different architectures into a unified system is emerging as a new heterogeneous computing paradigm. GPUs and WSEs differ substantially in compute, memory, and communication organization, creating both architectural complementarity and additional overheads, yet how to translate this…
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.39076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Collecting naturalistic human manipulation demonstrations with accurate contact force and hand pose is essential for robot dexterous manipulation policy and foundational world model learning - yet no existing wearable platform provides both calibrated fingertip force sensing and occlusion-resilient hand tracking in a form factor that preserves natural manipulation…
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.38752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional vision pipelines route every pixel to a host processor, which must then wait for a complete frame before it can act and devote part of each frame period to routine pre-processing.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.38739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We run Kroko, a 65.7M-parameter streaming Zipformer2 transducer for English, on the ESP32-P4, a microcontroller with two 400 MHz RISC-V cores, a 128-bit SIMD extension (PIE) and 32 MB of PSRAM, but no neural accelerator.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.38329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier large language models write correct CUDA kernels for most single-operator benchmark tasks, yet their accuracy collapses on accelerators whose architecture and programming language they have rarely seen. We present a case study of an LLM agent loop built for such accelerators.
arXiv Computer Science ARRead article →arXiv:2610.38262v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computation on encrypted data and is promising for privacy-preserving computing. However, FHE deployment remains constrained due to massive computational, memory, and data-movement overheads.
