New data released this week show 54% of Australian children and teens use artificial intelligence tools for personal and social reasons.
Phys.org / Neanderthal growth hormone receptor increases muscle mass in people today, study shows
Neanderthals were generally more strongly built than most people living today. Their bones show signs of large muscles, and they had characteristic features such as prominent brow ridges and relatively short tooth roots.
Phys.org / Coupled AI and physics model improves typhoon-wave height forecasting
Typhoons pose significant threats, with sudden, dangerous waves that endanger ships, offshore platforms and coastal infrastructure in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Current typhoon forecasting methods sometimes underestimate ...
Tech Xplore / Hidden goals can undermine AI teamwork, study finds
Large language models (LLMs), the computational models that underpin conversational agents such as Gemini and ChatGPT, are now widely used by people worldwide to rapidly find information, summarize documents and generate ...
Phys.org / Zoo-housed lions show wild-style behaviors when fed whole carcasses
A new Australian study has found that feeding zoo-housed lions whole-animal carcasses on a feast-and-fast schedule encourages behaviors more closely aligned with those seen in the wild.
Phys.org / Spacecraft observations may conceal how particles really move through near-Earth space
High-energy particles in Earth's radiation belt can appear to spread out randomly, even when they are moving in a "predictable" way. This is because spacecraft observations naturally blur the fine-scale structure of the particle ...
Science X / Virtual escape test exposes hidden rule people use when identical exits create pressure and no sign points way
Ever wonder who you mimic in a line of people heading for an exit? In an emergency, do you trail the person right ahead, or do you watch what everyone else does? It's a question with surprising implications for how we understand ...
Medical Xpress / Common blood storage bags may leach microplastics into stored blood
In the 1970s, PVC bags revolutionized the storage of blood and blood products for transfusion. Disposable plastic (PVC) bags replaced reusable glass bottles, making the process more convenient and safer from contamination. ...
Phys.org / X(2370) emerges as glueball-dominated particle in collider experiments
At the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Brazil, the BESIII Collaboration report that, after 15 years of sustained research, it identified the dominant constituent of the X(2370) as a pseudoscalar glueball ...
Phys.org / Observing key material properties atom by atom for the first time
Many material properties depend on how electrons are arranged inside a material. Their distribution determines, for example, whether a material conducts electricity or displays magnetic behavior. Understanding how electrons ...
Phys.org / South Korea records its highest-ever temperature of 42.5 C
South Korea registered its highest temperature since records began more than a century ago on Sunday, as authorities warned people to "immediately" stop all outdoor activities in affected areas.
Medical Xpress / Birth order may influence your disease risk later in life, study finds
