A speech waveform, spectrogram and phonetic transcription, the raw material speech-recognition models learn from. Image: Wugapodes, via Wikimedia Commons, LGPL. A transcript can capture every word and still miss what people need: who said what, a translation for a colleague, or the correct spelling of an industry term. On October 28, 2026, NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, a free, open-weight model designed to do all of that in one place, steered by plain-language instructions. One...

Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Scientists observed a quasi-periodic fast-propagating (QFP) wave train in corona

Posted on by 41629066
Quasi-periodic fast-mode propagating (QFP) wave trains in the corona have been studied intensively in the past decade, thanks to the full-disk, high spatiotemporal resolution, and widetemperature coverage observations taken by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). In AIA observations, QFP wave trains are seen to consist of multiple coherent and concentric wavefronts emanating successively near the epicenter of the accompanying flares; they propagat...

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE – Research suggest ‘TGF-beta’ chemical controlling life and death in hair follicles

Posted on by 41629066
Single chemical is key to controlling when hair follicle cells divide, and when they die. This discovery could not only treat baldness, but ultimately speed wound healing because follicles are a source of stem cells. Most cells in the human body have a specific form and function determined during embryonic development that does not change. For example, a blood cell cannot turn into a nerve cell, or vice versa. Stem cells, however, are like the blank tiles in a game of Scrabble; they can ...

Higher vitamin D levels in pregnancy could help babies become stronger

Posted on by 41629066
Children are likely to have stronger muscles if their mothers had a higher level of vitamin D in their body during pregnancy, according to new research from the Medical Research Council Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit (MRC LEU) at the University of Southampton. Low vitamin D status has been linked to reduced muscle strength in adults and children, but little is known about how variation in a mother’s status during pregnancy affects her child. Low vitamin D concentrations are common among you...

MIT engineers develop stickers that can see inside the body. New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.

Posted on by 41629066
Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive window into the body’s workings, providing clinicians with live images of a patient’s internal organs. To capture these images, trained technicians manipulate ultrasound wands and probes to direct sound waves into the body. These waves reflect back out to produce high-resolution images of a patient’s heart, lungs, and other deep organs. Currently, ultrasound imaging requires bulky and specialized equipment available only in hospitals and doctor’s ...
