Exploding electrical wires underwater to understand shock waves

Shock wave studies allow researchers to achieve the warm dense matter that's found only in the extreme conditions around stars and created in the laboratory for inertial confinement fusion research, and researchers recently set out to understand the relation, if any, between the evolution of a shock wave and the expansion of the exploding wire. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190502104843.htm

Quantum sensor for photons

A photodetector converts light into an electrical signal, causing the light to be lost. Researchers have now built a quantum sensor that can measure light particles non-destructively. It can be used to further investigate the quantum properties of light. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190503100823.htm

Finnish school students outperform US students on 'fake news' digital literacy tasks

A recent study revealed students at an international school in Finland significantly outperformed US students on tasks which measure digital literacy in social media and online news. The researchers suggest this may be due to the Finnish and International Baccalaureate curricula's different way of facilitating students' critical thinking skills compared to the US system and curriculum. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190502104824.htm

India could meet air quality standards by cutting household fuel use

India could make a major dent in air pollution by curbing emissions from dirty household fuels such as wood, dung, coal and kerosene, shows a new analysis. Eliminating emissions from just these sources -- without any changes to industrial or vehicle emissions -- would bring the average outdoor air pollution levels below the country's air quality standard, the study shows. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190502100943.htm

These trippy images were designed by AI to super-stimulate monkey neurons

To find out which sights specific neurons in monkeys 'like' best, researchers designed an algorithm, called XDREAM, that generated images that made neurons fire more than any natural images the researchers tested. As the images evolved, they started to look like distorted versions of real-world stimuli. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190502161207.htm
