Phys.org / Global population dataset uses buildings to reveal people's daily movement patterns
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have released LandScan Mosaic, a next-generation global population distribution dataset that estimates where people are by modeling how ...
Phys.org / The monsters that weren't: Dinosaur and tusked-beast claims in San rock art unravel
For decades, an idea has grown in paleontology that, long before scientists began digging up and reconstructing dinosaur bones, the Indigenous San and Basotho in southern Africa noticed them too, incorporating them into songs, ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic picks Accenture for in-house AI safety evaluation
Anthropic said Friday it is partnering with consulting giant Accenture to have outside evaluators work inside the AI company, a step toward fulfilling a pledge by CEO Dario Amodei to have independent observers evaluate its ...
Phys.org / How narwhal 'scientists' track Arctic warming
The fight against climate change has a new, spiral-tusked ally: the narwhal.
Medical Xpress / White matter 'bridge' bundles link brain hierarchy levels to broader mental functions
To enable movement, perception, memory, reasoning, emotion and various other functions, the human brain heavily relies on communication between different regions. This communication also takes place via white matter, tissue ...
Phys.org / Protein map reveals how red blood cells rapidly adjust to low oxygen
Scientists map the hidden protein network that helps red blood cells adapt to oxygen
Phys.org / Loss of Y chromosome in men could be an early warning sign of cancer
A study initiated by Dr. Dan Theodorescu, a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona Cancer Center, revealed that the loss of the Y chromosome in men's body tissue could pave the way for cancer to develop. According ...
Phys.org / Scientists simulate cosmic crashes to test whether icy moons gain or lose their ability to sustain life
Many of the moons orbiting Saturn, Uranus and Neptune likely conceal oceans of liquid water beneath miles of icy shell. Because life as we know it needs water, these buried oceans rank among the most promising places to search ...
Tech Xplore / Construction exoskeletons may help workers spot hazards by reducing fatigue
Taking some of the physical strain off construction workers could do more than reduce fatigue. New research from Texas A&M University suggests it may also help them recognize hazards around them.
Medical Xpress / Brain adapts to give deaf people a better visual 'danger radar'
Pioneering research shows that the brains of people who are deaf from an early age rewire to see more of what is happening in their visual periphery, new research has revealed.
Tech Xplore / Will AI models achieve the ability to improve autonomously? Leading labs say the scenario is near
Once a distant ambition for technology researchers, the prospect of artificial intelligence models teaching themselves autonomously to be more efficient and capable appears ever closer to reality.
Medical Xpress / West African scientists warn of weakening health systems and urge stronger outbreak detection
West African laboratory scientists called on governments Friday to strengthen capacity to detect disease outbreaks to avoid another major outbreak, saying health systems across the region are becoming weaker.
