Developed a model for the automatic extraction of content from webs and apps
Reports and Proceedings
The model could turn CMSs into a new source of data for training artificial intelligence systems
University of Arizona astronomers identify a new class of stellar system.
Extreme supergiant stars known as hypergiants are very rare, with only a few known to exist in the Milky Way. Astronomers have created a detailed, three-dimensional image of one dying hypergiant, providing new insights into what happens at the end of these rare stars' lives.
A star's death throes have so violently disrupted its planetary system that the dead star left behind, called a white dwarf, is siphoning off debris from both the system's inner and outer reaches. This is the first time astronomers have observed a white dwarf star that is consuming both rocky-metallic and icy material, the ingredients of planets.
Kristiine Kikas studied which other sensations arise whilst reading poetry and how they affect the understanding of poems. Following the neuroscientific origins of metaphors, she used the human organism’s tendency to perceive language at the sensory-motor level in close reading to help replay it using body memory. This trait allows us to physically experience the words people read.
Scientists with the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering announced today that for the first time they’ve connected the city of Chicago and suburban labs with a quantum network—nearly doubling the length of what was already one of the longest in the country. The Chicago network, which will soon be opened to academia and industry, will become one of the nation’s first publicly-available testbeds for quantum security technology.
National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in Japan reported that the Antarctic sea ice extent was the smallest on February 20, 2022, since satellite observations began in 1978. The satellite observation data used in this analysis is available on the Arctic Data archive System (ADS) website.
The violent death throes of a nearby star so thoroughly disrupted its planetary system that the dead star left behind — known as a white dwarf — is sucking in debris from both the system’s inner and outer reaches, UCLA astronomers and colleagues report today.
Astronomers using data from the VLA Sky Survey have discovered one of the youngest known neutron stars -- possibly as young as only 14 years. The dense remnant of a supernova explosion was revealed when bright radio emission powered by the pulsar's powerful magnetic field emerged from behind a thick shell of debris from the explosion.
MIT astronomers discovered a multiplanet system just 33 light-years from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems. The system likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets.
New results from real-world tests of a downwind turbine could inform and improve the wind energy industry in a world with intensifying hurricanes and a greater demand for renewable energy.
U.S. teachers and principals are experiencing frequent job-related stress at a rate about twice that of the general population of working adults, according to a new RAND Corporation survey. Well-being is reported as especially poor among Hispanic/Latinx teachers, mid-career teachers and female teachers and principals.
