Robots from around the world converged on Silicon Valley to provide a glimpse of a potential future.
Medical Xpress / Disappointment alters brain chemistry and behavior, mouse study shows
From work meetings to first dates, it's essential to adjust our behavior for success. In certain situations, it can even be a matter of life or death. So how do we switch our behavior when situations change?
Tech Xplore / How cement 'breathes in' and stores millions of tons of CO₂ a year
The world's most common construction material has a secret. Cement, the "glue" that holds concrete together, gradually "breathes in" and stores millions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air over the lifetimes of buildings ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists unravel neural networks that guide guilt and shame-driven behaviors
Feelings of guilt and shame can lead us to behave in a variety of different ways, including trying to make amends or save face, cooperating more with others or avoiding people altogether. Now, researchers have shed light ...
Phys.org / Gaia finds hints of planets in baby star systems
Ever wondered how planetary systems like our own solar system form? Thanks to the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope, we're getting a unique peek behind the cosmic curtain into these dusty environments.
Phys.org / Rare earth elements: Of peptides and the origins of life
The group of rare earth elements (REEs) comprises a total of 17 elements, all of which possess similar chemical properties. In addition to the two lightest elements, scandium and yttrium, the group also includes lanthanum, ...
Phys.org / XMM-Newton sees comet 3I/ATLAS in X-ray light
The European Space Agency's X-ray space observatory XMM-Newton observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on 3 December for around 20 hours. During that time, the comet was about 282–285 million km from the spacecraft.
