But what if the biggest giveaway that a text was written by AI isn’t a word, phrase, or punctuation mark, but a particular sentence structure instead? The idea that certain rhythms of sentences might ...

Abstract: This work presents a combined analytical and simulation-based study of a 3D-integrated quantum chip architecture. We model a flip-chip-inspired structure by stacking two superconducting ...

Mathematical analysis identifies a vortex structure that is impervious to decay. Scientists have shown how three vortices can be linked in a way that prevents them from being dismantled. The structure ...

The team, led by Annemarie Verkerk of Saarland University (photo) and Russell Gray from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, has examined around 1,700 languages to identify ...
