Phys.org / AI weather models show promise for hurricane forecasts, but new study finds key physical limitations
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming weather prediction, enabling forecasts that once required hours of supercomputing time to run in just minutes. But as AI tools play an expanding role in high-stakes hazard modeling, ...
Tech Xplore / 'Happy (and safe) shooting!': Study says AI chatbots help plot attacks
From school shootings to synagogue bombings, leading AI chatbots helped researchers plot violent attacks, according to a study published Wednesday that highlighted the technology's potential for real-world harm.
Medical Xpress / 1 in 3 Americans say sacrificed for health care costs

Phys.org / Your cat is likely to live longer if you don't let them roam—new study
We all know cats represent a major threat to native animals and birds. Australia's 5.3 million domestic cats kill a total of 546 million animals each year in Australia. What's less well known is allowing your domestic cat ...
Medical Xpress / Quantitative imaging of beta cell mass may help with treatment for type 1 diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, the immune system starts to destroy insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Progressive loss of these cells destabilizes the body's glucose levels and drives the course of the disease, so preserving ...
Phys.org / What's it like to be a bat? Scientists develop new solution to the puzzle of animal minds
In 1974, philosopher Thomas Nagel posed a deceptively simple question: "What is it like to be a bat?" His point wasn't really about bats. He was offering a provocative challenge about the limits of understanding another mind: ...
Phys.org / The Rubin Observatory's LSST will detect imminent impactors before they crash into Earth
The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) has barely begun observations and is already wowing us. Images like its Cosmic Treasure Chest have us anticipating even more cosmic glory. And when the observatory sent out 800,000 alerts ...
Phys.org / Earth's ice is melting: Where and how fast?
Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on record.
Medical Xpress / An experimental model reproduces creeping fat associated with Crohn's disease and facilitates its study
A team of researchers from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) and the Institut de Recerca Biomèdica Catalunya Sud (IRB CatSud, formerly IISPV) has published a study in the journal Inflammatory Bowel Diseases ...
Phys.org / Island warbler study finds immune genes shape gut bacteria in the wild
Scientists at the University of East Anglia (U.K.) have uncovered a hidden link between gut health and the immune system—all thanks to a tiny island bird. Researchers studied the Seychelles warbler, a small songbird found ...
