Researchers discover how the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing
Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human brain forms, stores and recalls visual memories. A new study, published in Advanced Science, harnesses human patient brain recordings and a powerful machine learning model to shed new light on the brain's internal code that sorts memories of objects into categories—think of it as the brain's filing cabinet of imagery.

More than 343,000 hectares (848,000 acres) of land – the equivalent of nearly half a million football pitches [or a suare with sides 58.6 km long] – have been destroyed this year in Spain, setting a new national record, according to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS)

Wildfires rage across Spain and Portugal as record area of land burned
Wildfires in Spain and Portugal burn record land and force evacuations as heatwave and drought spur the flames.

Aeos is Mixing it Up: The (In)homogeneity of Metal Mixing Following Population III Star Formation
Stellar surface abundances are records of the state of the gas from which stars formed, and thus trace how individual elements have mixed into the surrounding medium following their ejection from stars. In this work, we test the common assumption of instantaneous and homogeneous metal mixing during the formation of the first Population II stars by characterizing the chemical homogeneity of the gas in simulated star-forming environments enriched by Population III stellar feedback. Testing the ho…

Tuning and Suppression of YIG Magnetisation Dynamics via Antiferromagnetic Interface Coupling
The magnetisation dynamics of yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12, YIG) are key to the operation of spintronic and microwave devices. Here, we report a pathway to manipulate the frequency, damping and absorption of YIG thin films via interface coupling. The growth on YIG of PtMn, a metallic antiferromagnet, leads to a power dependence of the oscillation frequency and an increased linewidth at low fields. In gadolinium iron garnet/YIG film bilayers, the two films couple antiferromagnetically at low te…

Classification Filtering
We consider a streaming signal in which each sample is linked to a latent class. We assume that multiple classifiers are available, each providing class probabilities with varying degrees of accuracy. These classifiers are employed following a straightforward and fixed policy. In this setting, we consider the problem of fusing the output of the classifiers while incorporating the temporal aspect to improve classification accuracy. We propose a state-space model and develop a filter tailored for…

Constraining Cosmology with Double-Source-Plane Strong Gravitational Lenses From the AGEL Survey
Double-source-plane strong gravitational lenses (DSPLs), with two sources at different redshifts, are independent cosmological probes of the dark energy equation of state parameter $w$ and the matter density parameter $Ω_{\rm m}$. We present the lens model for the DSPL AGEL035346$-$170639 and infer cosmological constraints from this system for flat $Λ$CDM and flat $w$CDM cosmologies. From the joint posterior of $w$ and $Ω_{\rm m}$ in the flat $w$CDM cosmology, we extract the following median…
