With skull parts that click together like puzzle pieces and a large central tooth, the real-life sandworm is stranger than fiction.

Amphisbaenians are strange creatures. Like worms with vertebrae, scales, a large central tooth, and sometimes small forearms, these reptiles live underground, burrowing tunnels and preying on just about anything they encounter, not unlike a miniature version of the monstrous sandworms from “Dune.”

Even though they’re found around much of the world, little is known about how amphisbaenians behave in the wild because they cannot be observed while in their natural habitat under sand and soil. But thanks to two papers published in the March issue of The Anatomical Record, new light is being shed on these animals and their specialized anatomy.

As data traffic grows, there is an urgent demand for smaller optical transmitters and receivers capable of handling complex multi-level modulation formats and achieving higher data transmission speeds.

In an important step toward fulfilling this requirement, researchers developed a new compact indium phosphide (InP)-based coherent driver modulator (CDM) and showed that it can achieve a record high baud rate and transmission capacity per wavelength compared to other CDMs.

CDMs are optical transmitters used in optical communication systems that can put information on light by modulating the amplitude and phase before it is transmitted through an optical fiber.

Apple presents Recurrent Drafter for Fast Speculative Decoding in Large Language Models.

In this paper, we introduce an improved approach of speculative decoding aimed at enhancing the efficiency of serving large language models.

Vision is the greatest gift to human. Like other creatures, even human eyes can see the beautiful things and others on the earth but perhaps only human can enjoy the beauty of the nature. We can’t see some things but some of them can be experienced. Some things are scientifically proven to exist but they are invisible to our eyes.

A new method to measure the arrival times of electrons could aid in the design of future electron microscopes.

For researchers working to develop the next generation of electron microscopes, understanding the details of electron beams is essential. Now a research team has observed the weak repulsion of electrons in a continuous beam with the highest precision to date by measuring the number of electrons arriving at a detector within a timeframe of less than 1 picosecond (ps) [1]. With improvements, the new technique may be able to pick up the repulsion attributable to the Pauli exclusion principle. The researchers think the work may eventually help engineers design more sensitive electron microscopes based on quantum principles.

Many natural events such as rain falling are uncorrelated: the fall of each raindrop is independent of every other raindrop. Given a certain time window, say 1 second, the likelihood that zero, one, two, or more raindrops will fall within a certain area is predicted by a statistical distribution called a Poissonian. If, however, the raindrops could interact, then their arrivals might be correlated or anticorrelated—the drops could fall together more often or less often, depending on whether the interaction is attractive or repulsive. Then the probability of similarly timed raindrops would be either super-Poissonian (occurring more often) or sub-Poissonian (occurring less often).

A protein-based motor uses a trimming mechanism to move forward across a field of grass-like peptide segments.

The concept of “love languages” has had a vice grip on pop psychology for decades — and now, some scientists are calling bull.
