Phys.org / Bumble bees show spontaneous problem-solving, challenging big-brain assumptions
In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the long-standing assumption that ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers develop world's first AI for objective pain assessment
A research team has developed technology that uses artificial intelligence to analyze electroencephalogram signals triggered by thermal stimuli and objectively classify pain intensity. The study is published in IEEE Transactions ...
Phys.org / Giant fan-shaped structure found under East Antarctica
An international team of researchers including our Department of Geography has discovered a vast geological structure hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The findings are published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Medical Xpress / We've been testing therapy like it's a pill—and some patients are paying the price
If you've had therapy, particularly if you got it through a public health care system like the NHS in the UK or Medicare in Australia, there's a good chance it was cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Even with private health ...
Phys.org / SpaceX signs pre-IPO deal to provide AI computing to Google
SpaceX on Friday signed a blockbuster cloud computing agreement under which Google will pay the Elon Musk-founded rocket company $920 million per month for access to a massive cluster of AI chips, according to a disclosure ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers discover way to inhibit brain cancer's infiltration mechanism in glioblastoma
A team of experimental oncology researchers at the University of Alberta is shedding light on how the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma spreads. In newly published research, they identify a potential treatment target to slow ...
Phys.org / Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when ...
Medical Xpress / Common arthritis drugs reduce systemic Sjögren's disease activity in 24 weeks
A combination of two widely available anti-rheumatic drugs offers the first effective and affordable treatment for patients with Sjögren's disease with systemic disease activity, according to new results from a clinical trial ...
Medical Xpress / How aging reshapes sensorimotor learning: Older adults may lose explicit strategy but gain implicit adaptation
When most humans reach late adulthood, their ability to coordinate movements and maintain balance, broadly referred to as motor control, tends to gradually decline. While these changes in motor control are widely documented, ...
Phys.org / Ultrathin nanotubes reach 1 nanometer, opening path to smaller electronics
Researchers in Japan have created some of the world's smallest semiconducting nanotubes, structures 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. By growing molybdenum disulfide inside protective tubes of boron nitride, the researchers, ...
Phys.org / SpaceX denied fast track to S&P 500 after IPO
SpaceX has been denied a fast track into the S&P 500 when the rocket and satellite company goes public, in a ruling that cuts off quick access to one of the biggest pools of Wall Street money.
Phys.org / JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stellar bar in GN20, a massive galaxy seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The new paper was submitted to the preprint server arXiv on May ...
