Tech Xplore / AI and kindness: Are we morally obligated to be kind to Grok?
Would you ever kick your Roomba? Or leave a scathing review of the robot at a Thai restaurant who delivered your green curry? What about sending a mean message to ChatGPT?
Medical Xpress / Maternal infections during pregnancy increase the risk of suicidal behaviors in their offspring, study finds
Past medical research consistently showed that specific events unfolding during pregnancy can influence the health of their offspring after birth. While this has been widely observed in the context of physical health, for ...
Phys.org / How to improve the performance of qubits: Super-fast fluctuation detection achieved
Using commercially available technology and innovative methods, researchers at NBI have pushed the limits of how fast you can detect changes in the sensitive quantum states in the qubit. Their work allows researchers to follow ...
Medical Xpress / A silent signaling network deep in the gut protects against inflammatory intestinal disorders, scientists find
Deep in the folds of the intestine, in microscopic pockets called crypts, a quiet surveillance system is always at work. Stem cells lining the gut wall are not just rebuilding tissue—they are listening and signaling. When ...
Tech Xplore / Jailbreaking the matrix: How researchers are bypassing AI guardrails to make them safer
A paper written by University of Florida Computer & Information Science & Engineering, or CISE, Professor Sumit Kumar Jha, Ph.D., contains so many science fiction terms, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a Hollywood script: ...
Phys.org / Tomb more than 1,000 years old found in Panama
Archaeologists have discovered a tomb more than a thousand years old in Panama containing human remains alongside gold and ceramic artifacts, the lead researcher told AFP on Friday.
Tech Xplore / AI model edits can leak sensitive data via update 'fingerprints'
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now widely used by millions of people worldwide, as tools to source information or tackle specific tasks more rapidly and efficiently. Today, some of the most used are large language ...
Medical Xpress / Oxytocin reverses anxiety-like behavior after three months of isolation in mice

Phys.org / Chemists synthesize first stable copper metallocene complex, closing a 70-year gap
Almost half a century ago, a remarkable molecule called metallocene took center stage in chemistry, earning Geoffrey Wilkinson and Ernst Otto Fischer the Nobel Prize. These organic compounds, made of a transition metal "sandwiched" ...
Phys.org / In sea urchin and salmon sperm, pH value regulates whether they remain immotile or swim
A study by the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and the University of Bonn has shown that pH value is crucial for sperm motility in sea urchins and salmon. An increase in pH activates the enzyme adenylyl ...
Phys.org / Can a chatbot be a co-author? AI helps crack a long-stalled gluon amplitude proof
Like many scientists, theoretical physicist Andrew Strominger was unimpressed with early attempts at probing ChatGPT, receiving clever-sounding answers that didn't stand up to scrutiny. So he was skeptical when a talented ...
