Increases are expected to be largest in countries where life expectancy is lower, contributing to a convergence of increased life expectancy across geographies. The trend is largely driven by public health measures that have prevented and improved survival rates from cardiovascular diseases, COVID-19, and a range of communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNNs).</description> <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 16:41:49 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240517164149.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>A trial HIV vaccine triggered elusive and essential antibodies in humans</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240517111457.htm</link> <description>An HIV vaccine candidate triggered low levels of an elusive type of broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies among a small group of people enrolled in a 2019 clinical trial.</description> <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2024 11:14:57 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240517111457.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>A powerful tool speeds success in achieving highly efficient thermoelectric materials</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240516205155.htm</link> <description>Thermoelectric materials could play an important role in the clean energy transition, as they can produce electricity from sources of heat that would otherwise go to waste.

'Please' is an expression of politeness that shows courtesy and respect, turning a potential demand into a request that will -- poof! -- magically be granted. But a new study on the ways people make requests of one another suggests that 'please' might not be an all-purpose marker of politeness, but rather a more focused, strategic tool to manage frictions or obstacles among family members, friends and even coworkers. The study shows that people say 'please' much less often than expected, and mostly when they expect a 'no' response is forthcoming.</description> <pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2024 22:51:04 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515225104.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>Jet-propelled sea creatures could improve ocean robotics</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515225101.htm</link> <description>Scientists have discovered that colonies of gelatinous sea animals swim through the ocean in giant corkscrew shapes using coordinated jet propulsion, an unusual kind of locomotion that could inspire new designs for efficient underwater vehicles.</description> <pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2024 22:51:01 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515225101.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>Robotic 'SuperLimbs' could help moonwalkers recover from falls</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515164312.htm</link> <description>SuperLimbs, a system of wearable robotic limbs, can physically support an astronaut and lift them back on their feet after a fall, helping them conserve energy for other essential tasks.</description> <pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2024 16:43:12 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515164312.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>Wavefunction matching for solving quantum many-body problems</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515164252.htm</link> <description>Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry.

Animal brains use less data and energy compared to current deep neural networks running on GPUs (graphic chips). Neuromorphic processors are therefore very suitable for small drones because they don't need heavy and large hardware and batteries. The results are extraordinary: during flight the drone's deep neural network processes data up to 64 times faster and consumes three times less energy than when running on a GPU. Further developments of this technology may enable the leap for drones to become as small, agile, and smart as flying insects or birds.</description> <pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2024 16:42:07 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515164207.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>The crystallization of memory: Study reveals how practice forms new memory pathways in the brain</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515164158.htm</link> <description>A new study has shown that repetitive practice not only is helpful in improving skills but also leads to profound changes in the brain's memory pathways.</description> <pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2024 16:41:58 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515164158.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>Detection of an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting the ultracool dwarf star SPECULOOS-3</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240515122831.htm</link> <description>Astronomers have just discovered a new Earth-sized exoplanet around SPECULOOS-3, an 'ultracool dwarf' star as small as Jupiter, twice as cold as our Sun, and located 55 light-years from Earth.

Now, a group of researchers has overcome some of these challenges by creating an innovative method that employs central pattern generators -- neural circuits located in the spinal cord that generate rhythmic patterns of muscle activity -- with deep reinforcement learning. The method not only imitates walking and running motions but also generates movements for frequencies where motion data is absent, enables smooth transition movements from walking to running, and allows for adapting to environments with unstable surfaces.</description> <pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2024 11:08:22 EDT</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240509110822.htm</guid> </item> <item> <title>Astrophysicists discover a novel method for hunting the first stars</title> <link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240509110753.htm</link> <description>A recent study has discovered a novel method for detecting the first-generations stars, known as Population III (Pop III) stars, which have never been directly detected.
