Tech Xplore / ChatGPT maker OpenAI shifts its focus to business users amid Anthropic pressure
The same ChatGPT chatbot that gave OpenAI's chief financial officer Sarah Friar a tilapia recipe for a recent Sunday night dinner at home is also now doing her most mundane tasks at work like summarizing her emails and Slack ...
Phys.org / Thai farmers pin hopes on microbes to end annual burning crisis
Rice farmers Siriporn and Amnat Taidee used to burn their paddy fields between plantings—a common method of clearing crop residue partly blamed for toxic smog that blankets much of Thailand every spring.
Medical Xpress / Korean women with CVD face gaps in risk factor control, study finds
Korean women with heart disease showed higher awareness and treatment of major risk factors, but lower control rates, pointing to the need for sex-specific strategies to close the gap, according to a study being presented ...
Phys.org / Foxes and birds could be 'early warning system' to survey spread of antibiotic resistance into ecosystems
Red foxes and birds regularly cross between human-dominated and natural ecosystems. For this reason, they may be heralds of spreading antibiotic resistance into ecosystems unexposed to antibiotic pressures, a study done in ...
Medical Xpress / Skin cells may help rabies invade nerves after minor bites or scratches
While it was previously thought that keratinocytes (skin cells) were only passive conductors that allow the rabies virus to pass through, novel research reveals that these cells play a much more active role. The findings ...
Tech Xplore / Solar panels won't slash energy bills on their own—an expert explains how to maximize savings
Energy bills in the UK are still expected to rise in the coming months, putting more pressure on household budgets despite the shaky ceasefire in the Gulf.
Phys.org / Gravity follows Newton and Einstein's rules, even at cosmic scales
Gravity, as most people understand it, is the familiar force that pulls a falling apple toward Earth. But for astronomers and theoretical physicists, it is also a vexing invisible architect that guides the shape and evolution ...
Dialog / Not so dark with Alena Tensor: Math framework could explain dark matter without invisible particles
Alena Tensor is a relatively new mathematical approach that allows for arbitrary curving and straightening of analyzed spacetimes. As it turns out, generalizing this model to all known fields and fully describing matter, ...
Medical Xpress / Brain scan can reveal the risk of psychiatric hospitalization
One in four psychiatric patients in Denmark are readmitted and that carries major personal and societal costs. But can we predict who will be readmitted, while others return to everyday life without symptoms? That is exactly ...
Medical Xpress / Worrying about weight stigma at the doctor's office
A routine component of many medical appointments—stepping on the scale to be weighed—may be a stigmatizing experience that raises patients' blood pressure and potentially impacts their health care, according to new research ...
Phys.org / Scientists capture superconductivity's 'dancing pairs' for first time, revealing missing pieces in a decades-old theory
For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which paired electrons cause electric current to flow without resistance at sufficiently low temperatures. ...
Phys.org / Search for dark matter intensifies as leading detector reaches milestone
Deep underground in a Canadian mine, a refrigerator nearly 1,000 times colder than outer space has just reached its target temperature—a milestone that brings scientists one step closer to potentially detecting dark matter, ...
