Artificial intelligence is getting expensive—and companies are starting to rethink their embrace of the disruptive technology.
Phys.org / Venice's growing flamingo population finds refuge in recovering wetlands
Perhaps nothing better illustrates the flamingo's status as a newcomer to the Venetian Lagoon than the fact that the local dialect has no word for them.
Phys.org / A giant warm wave is crossing the Pacific, signaling an El Niño that could alter weather worldwide this year
Waves of higher, warmer water move eastward across the Pacific Ocean a few months before an El Niño emerges. Several have shown up in 2026 satellite data.
Phys.org / Orangutans breastfeed for six and a half years, the longest among mammals
Orangutans have one of the slowest life histories among mammals, and a new study now shows just how long orangutan mothers continue to breastfeed their offspring. An international team has demonstrated that wild orangutan ...
Phys.org / Ripples in fire-ant collectives suggest motions are driven by neighbor alignments
Researchers in Spain have discovered that in collectives of moving fire ants, rippling "waves" of density and activity are likely triggered by local regions where ants collectively travel in the same direction as their neighbors.
Medical Xpress / Study highlights major gaps in online info for patients about AI and cancer
Online information about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on cancer research and treatment for both the patient and general-public audiences is limited, and the available webpages and videos are largely of low ...
Phys.org / Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere may owe its existence to cold subduction
Earth was mostly devoid of oxygen for much of its 4.5 billion year lifetime. That is, until certain processes started to allow for the eventual buildup of oxygen up to the levels we have now (around 21% of the atmosphere). ...
Phys.org / Arctic Ocean food chain is disrupted as a key tipping point has now been passed
An irreversible shift in the chemical makeup of the Arctic Ocean driven by climate change is disrupting the region's food chain, a study suggests. Widespread loss of Arctic sea ice has led to a sharp fall in levels of a key ...
Science X / The mental cost of skipping meals may run higher than most people realize
Skipping a few meals here and there, or eating whenever one can make time in their schedule, might seem like a benign act. Research, however, shows that these habits are far from being harmless. A recent large-scale study ...
Phys.org / Outdoor lights may keep mosquitoes biting and breeding deeper into autumn
In some parts of the world, autumn brings welcome relief from mosquitoes, such as the Northern house mosquito (Culex pipiens). As the days grow shorter, the waning light is a signal for them to enter a winter state of dormancy ...
Medical Xpress / One inhibitor, opposite outcome: How a double-target effect could reshape ferroptosis therapies
Switching off an enzyme that plays an important role in sugar metabolism, glycolysis, would normally be expected to cause serious problems for cells. Surprisingly, the opposite is also true: Cells can become highly resistant ...
Phys.org / Is extracting oxygen from lunar soil the future of space exploration?
A new race to the moon is emerging between the United States and China. Unlike fifty years ago, the goal is no longer just about landing and leaving, but establishing a base that allows for a sustainable presence and extended ...
