A sharp black form intertwined with red and white lines creates a visual circuit of rhythm and symmetry. The pattern feels both mechanical and human — an abstract dance of precision. Court ...

Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...

VFlowOpt is a novel, training-free token pruning framework designed to enhance the efficiency of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) by addressing high computational costs from excessive visual tokens. It ...

Community-led research from UCSB’s Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory spans three years, four continents and eight countries to reveal the scale of river plastic waste and offer solutions to stop it at ...

This important study investigates how hummingbird hawkmoths integrate stimuli from across their visual field to guide flight behaviour. Cue conflict experiments provide solid evidence for an ...

NIH study identifies brain circuits essential for visual acuity and their susceptibility to retinal damage. X-LGN neurons, crucial for visual acuity, are more affected by retinal damage than Y-LGN ...

Researchers at the Monash University Department of Materials and Science and Engineering have developed a water-based battery potentially capable of providing compact, high-performance battery systems ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

The film explains the fundamentals of electricity, including static and current electricity, the behavior of electrons, and the concept of electrical circuits. It demonstrates how static electricity ...

The local thermal conductivity in certain oxides can be precisely defined by a voltage-biased AFM tip, a new CiQUS study shows Overheating in electronic devices affects how it works and how long it ...
