California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday ordered officials to start work on a plan to mitigate the job-destroying impact of artificial intelligence, the first US state to do so.
Phys.org / Better helium reporting to improve fission and fusion materials modeling
Standardizing calculations of the helium byproducts generated in advanced fission and fusion energy system materials can increase reactor safety and longevity, according to a study led by University of Michigan Engineering ...
Phys.org / Cities change storms, but the impacts depend on the storm itself
Cities don't just change the landscape, they change the weather. According to a new study analyzing tens of thousands of rain events in Texas, whether urban areas make rain worse, lighter or simply different depends strongly ...
Phys.org / Colonial roots may explain why North and Latin America treat wildlife differently
How people view and treat wild animals can vary dramatically from one part of the world to another. In the first international study of wildlife values, research led by Colorado State University found a distinct difference ...
Phys.org / Asteroid impact site reveals possible traces of early life
A discovery by a South Korean research team suggests that impact-generated lakes may have fostered early oxygen-producing life. A team of South Korean scientists has uncovered new evidence that could help explain how Earth's ...
Phys.org / Paper calls for biologists to rethink how they analyze the impact of climate
A new paper calls for ecologists and evolutionary biologists to consider how organisms experience climate rather than how weather stations record it when doing climate–biology research. The paper, "Matching climate to biological ...
Phys.org / Scientists solve 50-year mystery of plant immunity by unlocking debneyol's blueprint
In a silent war that has raged for millions of years, plants have evolved a sophisticated chemical arsenal to fight back against invading pathogens. Now, a team of researchers from Peking University and Tsinghua University ...
Medical Xpress / Early birth safer for mother and baby in high blood pressure pregnancies, researchers find
Planned early birth for pregnant women with high blood pressure cuts maternal complications by nearly half and reduces the risk of stillbirth, without increasing the likelihood of cesarean section, according to data published ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies key protein in immune cell exhaustion in cancer immunotherapy
CAR T-cell therapy is considered a milestone in personalized cancer treatment. In this approach, a patient's own immune cells are genetically modified to recognize and destroy tumor cells. While it has already shown impressive ...
Medical Xpress / The neural basis of thought symbols identified for the first time
If you ask a child to draw an animal that doesn't exist, they'll often cobble together components from real ones—say, the body of a seal with an elephant's trunk, four octopus arms, and one lizard eye.
Phys.org / Urban aerosols grow faster in polluted air, sharpening climate model gaps
Aerosols and clouds play a key role in Earth's climate budget. However, the extent to which they reflect solar energy depends heavily on how much water the particles can absorb. This so-called hygroscopicity has so far been ...
Dialog / Rewiring early life: What extremely preterm birth teaches us about the brain
Extremely preterm birth (before 28 weeks of gestation) places infants into the world at one of the most extraordinary moments in human development. The brain at this stage is not simply growing; it is folding, organizing, ...
