Tech Xplore / Some companies tie AI to layoffs, but the reality is more complicated
The one thing N. Lee Plumb knows for sure about being laid off from Amazon last week is that it wasn't a failure to get on board with the company's artificial intelligence plans.
Phys.org / NASA delays the first Artemis moonshot with astronauts because of extreme cold at the launch site
NASA has delayed astronauts' upcoming trip to the moon because of near-freezing temperatures expected at the launch site.
Phys.org / A world-first mouse that makes gene activity visible
DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once. Instead, they copy only the necessary parts into RNA, which is then used to produce proteins—the ...
Phys.org / Fossil hunters uncover 132-million-year-old dinosaur footprints on South Africa's coast
Southern Africa is world renowned for its fossil record of creatures that lived in the very distant past, including dinosaurs. But, about 182 million years ago, a huge eruption of lava covered much of the landscape (the inland ...
Phys.org / Mapping cell development with mathematics-informed machine learning
The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, or in other words, what ...
Phys.org / New species of ladybird beetle discovered on university campus in Japan
University campuses are often places of learning and discovery, but rarely do researchers find a new species living right on their doorstep. However, that is exactly what happened when a research team from Kyushu University ...
Tech Xplore / Geometry behind how AI agents learn revealed
A new study from the University at Albany shows that artificial intelligence systems may organize information in far more intricate ways than previously thought. The study, "Exploring the Stratified Space Structure of an ...
Phys.org / Optical atomic clocks poised to redefine how the world measures seconds
Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world measures one second in the near future. Researchers from Adelaide University worked with the National ...
Medical Xpress / Unveiling schizophrenia's neural and mental signatures with machine learning
Schizophrenia is a severe and often highly debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by distorted emotions, thinking patterns and altered perceptions of reality, as well as mental impairments. This disorder typically ...
Phys.org / AI enables a who's who of brown bears in Alaska
A team of scientists from EPFL and Alaska Pacific University has developed an AI program that can recognize individual bears in the wild, despite the substantial changes that occur in their appearance over the summer season. ...
Medical Xpress / Psychosis rates are increasing in more recent generations, large-scale Canadian study finds
People born more recently are being diagnosed with psychotic disorders (e.g., schizophrenia) more often and at younger ages than people born earlier, suggests a large study of more than 12 million people in Ontario, published ...
Phys.org / Superfluids are supposed to flow indefinitely. Physicists just watched one stop moving
Ordinary matter, when cooled, transitions from a gas into a liquid. Cool it further still, and it freezes into a solid. Quantum matter, however, can behave very differently. In the early 20th century, researchers discovered ...
