Tech Xplore / Feral AI gossip with the potential to spread damage and shame will become more frequent, researchers warn
"Feral" gossip spread via AI bots is likely to become more frequent and pervasive, causing reputational damage and shame, humiliation, anxiety, and distress, researchers have warned.
Phys.org / Smile and the world will trust you: How mimicry shapes first impressions
How does mimicry affect the way we judge other people? Whose behavior do we imitate, and in what situations? It turns out that we are more likely to mimic people who express joy, and we perceive those people as more attractive ...
Phys.org / Modifying chirality with electricity: Voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable states
A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By using an electric double-layer ...
Medical Xpress / Key phospholipid points to potential treatment for vascular dementia
A possible new treatment for impaired brain blood flow and related dementias is on the horizon. Research by scientists at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine provides novel insights into the ...

A newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) model is highly accurate in predicting blood loss in patients undergoing high-volume liposuction, reports a study in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal.
Phys.org / A jolt to the system: Biophysicists uncover new electrical transmission in cells
Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells.
Medical Xpress / Natural protein drug may slow neuron death linked to Alzheimer's disease
Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz have discovered that while brain neuron changes, including cell loss, may begin in early life, a drug long-approved for other conditions might be repurposed to slow this damage, ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: Self-repairing quantum computer; AI carbon footprint; active listening forges bonds
In the best possible news for people who like pizza, researchers report that high-fat cheese may protect brain health and reduce dementia risk. Ancient hunter-gatherer DNA could explain why some people live 100 years or more. ...
Medical Xpress / How a gourmet's palate becomes refined: Taste training mechanisms
Why are gourmets seemingly able to detect subtle nuances in taste that others miss? Researchers at Tohoku University have uncovered part of the answer by demonstrating that taste sensitivity can be enhanced through learning.
