This video explains how mechanical and chemical digestion break food down and how the small intestine’s adaptations increase surface area to speed up absorption into the bloodstream.

Abstract: One of the most important degradation modes in CMOS technologies, the bias temperature instability (BTI) has been known since the 1960s. Already in early interpretations, charge trapping in ...

Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish, imperfections and all. A male ornate boxfish with distinctive, complex patterns of stripes and ...

Image generators are designed to mimic their training data, so where does their apparent creativity come from? A recent study suggests that it’s an inevitable by-product of their architecture. We were ...

Abstract: Self-organizing maps (SOMs) find numerous applications in learning, clustering, and recalling spatial input patterns. The traditional approach in learning spatiotemporal patterns is to ...

New research helps explain how sharp patterns form on zebras, leopards, tropical fish and other creatures. Their findings could inform the development of new high-tech materials and drugs. Nature has ...

Nature has no shortage of patterns, from spots on leopards to stripes on zebras and hexagons on boxfish. But a full explanation for how these patterns form has remained elusive. Now engineers at the ...

The tools of artificial intelligence — neural networks in particular — have been good to physicists. For years, this technology has helped researchers reconstruct particle trajectories in accelerator ...
