Thunderstorms May Skew Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Ray Measurements, Experts Warn
The detection of ultra-high-energy gamma rays by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in Tibet has sparked debate over the accuracy of the findings. Experts suggest that thunderstorms could interfere with measurements by amplifying particle showers in the atmosphere, leading to overestimated gamma ray energy levels. A study by As...

Robots May Soon Detect Emotions by Measuring Your Sweat, Scientists Say
According to research published in IEEE Access, scientists have identified skin conductance as a potential method for robots to detect human emotions. By measuring changes in skin conductivity caused by sweating, robots could distinguish between emotions like fear, humour, and familial bonding. This study, conducted by Tokyo Metropolitan University...

Here's How AI is Helping Astronomers to Understand Universe's Fundamental Parameters
Artificial intelligence is advancing the field of cosmology by enabling astronomers to determine five fundamental cosmological parameters with remarkable precision. Researchers from the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) in New York City have used AI to analyse extensive data from over 100,000 galaxies, observed throug...

Sun’s Magnetic Activity Is Making It Difficult to Gauge Its True Age, Study Finds
Astronomers have traditionally relied on helioseismology to estimate the Sun's age by analysing the vibrations that ripple through its interior. However, recent research has uncovered a significant obstacle, the Sun's magnetic activity, which follows an 11-year cycle, appears to be distorting these measurements. Data from the Birmingham Solar Oscil...
