A new 3D model reveals how mosquitoes adjust their flight patterns in response to visual and chemical cues. The research could help in the design of more effective traps and mosquito control strategies.

Researchers analyzed more than 35,000 images of women’s clothing spanning from 1869 to today. Team measured features like hemlines, necklines and waistlines. Mathematical model shows styles tend to rise in popularity, fall out of favor and return to popularity roughly every 20 years.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the properties of the perovskite family of materials can be used to create so-called quantum bits. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, pave the way for more affordable materials in future quantum computers.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a noncontact vibration measurement method using an event camera, a sensing technology inspired by biological vision. By applying geometric analysis to event-stream data, the team succeeded in reconstructing vibrations—an achievement that had posed substantial challenges using event camera. The method is more accessible and cost-effective than standard optical vibrometry techniques based on lasers. The researchers also demonstrated that multiple sound sources can be separated and simultaneously recorded using a single camera.

MIT neuroscientists have figured out how the brain is able to focus on a single voice among a cacophony of many voices, shedding light on a longstanding neuroscientific phenomenon known as the cocktail party problem.

Dr. Thomas Hartung, Director of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, has endorsed the public launch of ToxIndex, an agentic AI platform developed by Insilica Inc. that produces comprehensive, source-traceable toxicological risk assessments in just a few hours.
