Scientists have been scratching their heads, but a new study might finally have the answer. It turns out, this i
Imagine being able to generate videos just like we can with text using large language models. That's the idea behind WorldDreamer, a new kind of world model designed to understand and predict complex environments. Unlike previous models that worked only in specific scenarios like gaming or driving,
A major challenge in reinforcement learning is helping tasks transfer smoothly between different environments. A popular approach to handle this is to create policies that work the same way regardless of the environment. However, our take is different. We suggest that policies should learn to spot a

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is revolutionizing the way scientists look at tissue structure. One key step in ST data analysis is identifying spatial domains—areas within tissue that have unique characteristics. Researchers have created a new method called GRAS4T to tackle this challenge. GRAS4T uses
Imagine sitting in a secondary school classroom where learning doesn't feel like a chore. Welcome to the world of educational games! These games come in three main types: serious games, gamification, and creating your own games. Serious games are digital games designed to teach you something new. Ga
Teaching methods have evolved significantly in the past decade, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic pushed online learning to the forefront. Yet, the effectiveness of online teaching compared to traditional face-to-face methods remains uncertain. A recent study explored the impact of active parti
In Saudi Arabia, the path to academic leadership is not always clear, especially for women. While gender gaps are common in many places, the higher education system in Saudi Arabia has some unique challenges. Leadership development and succession planning could help level the playing field, but thes
Imagine this: an exciting e-comic helping 8th graders understand statistics in a fun way! This study aimed to create just that. The process involved three stages: planning, production, and evaluation, often referred to as PPE. Experts then tested and validated the quality. The results were fantastic
