Phys.org / AI-assisted math advance highlights gap between finding answers and judging their significance
AI models are good at finding answers to mathematical puzzles but are not as good at research judgment, according to theoretical computer scientists.
Phys.org / When schools fail to act, weight-based bullying can continue
Young people who experience bullying because of their weight feel that their schools do not take the problem seriously enough. In some cases, they change their own behavior to avoid harassment, according to a new study from ...
Phys.org / Trailblazing technique uncovers real shape of scorching-hot exoplanet atmospheres
Until now, the alien white-hot worlds of exoplanets have been depicted as circular, but new research has revealed the true shape of their atmospheres to be a deformed sphere rather than a perfect circle.
Medical Xpress / Treating depression during pregnancy may benefit baby's brain development—new research
Treating pregnant women's depression with a short course of talk therapy doesn't just improve their health—it can also shape how their babies' brains develop before birth. That's the finding of a new study we co-authored, ...
Phys.org / AI-enhanced weather model doubles predictive power two to six weeks out
In 2021, Texas suffered the worst energy infrastructure failure in state history, following three severe winter storms in February. At least 246 people were killed as a result of the disruptions, which led to food, water, ...
Tech Xplore / Using electronic structure to guide AI in designing new materials
Structure dictates function. Scientists are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to design the arrangement of atoms in new materials with desired properties. Now, researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, ...
Phys.org / Whales take different routes but still reach dinner on time
Some travelers take the scenic route. Others step on the gas and head straight for the destination. New research suggests southern right whales do much the same when crossing the Southern Ocean.
Phys.org / Fine particles from aircraft exhaust become more harmful over time, lab tests suggest
Fine particulate matter consists of tiny particles with diameters in the nanometer range. They are produced, for example, by fuel combustion, remain suspended in the air and can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract. ...
Phys.org / From spin wave to superconducting circuit: A one-way street for quantum information
Quantum information systems could one day shape everyday life through faster computing, sharper sensing and more secure communication. A new result from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and ...
Phys.org / Fully automated testing of bulk metals paves the way for AI-driven materials development
Developing stronger and tougher structural metals such as steel requires exploring an enormous range of processing conditions. Even for the same alloy composition, heat treatment can dramatically change the material's microstructure ...
Phys.org / Satellites accurately detect methane emissions in largest controlled test yet
Researchers have conducted the largest-ever controlled test of space-based methane monitoring, finding that dedicated methane sensors correctly detected nearly all methane plumes released on clear days.
Phys.org / Earth's mantle was 'breathing' oxygen a billion years before it hit the atmosphere, mineral time capsules reveal
Why is there life on Earth? It's one of the oldest questions humans have asked, and as far as we know, our planet is the only one that holds the answer.
