Tech Xplore / The next generation of disinformation: AI swarms can threaten democracy by manufacturing fake public consensus
An international research team involving Konstanz scientist David Garcia warns that the next generation of influence operations may not look like obvious "copy-paste bots," but like coordinated communities: fleets of AI-driven ...
Phys.org / How European city life is continually rewriting insect DNA
Cities are known to shape the evolution of wildlife within them, but according to a study of European cities published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, this is not a one-off event. Rather ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial finds 24 minutes of music with auditory beats eases anxiety
A new randomized clinical trial has revealed that just 24 minutes of listening to specially designed music paired with auditory beat stimulation (ABS) can significantly reduce anxiety. The research offers a promising complementary ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover a companion cluster to Czernik 38
Astronomers from the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG) in Cairo, Egypt, have investigated a young open cluster known as Czernik 38. As a result, they found a new open cluster, which turns out ...
Phys.org / Gaia data release reveals four substructures in open cluster NGC 752
By analyzing the data from ESA's Gaia satellite, Chinese astronomers have investigated the structure of a nearby open cluster known as NGC 752. The new study identified four substructures and delivered evidence for mass segregation ...
Tech Xplore / New heat-shrinking method integrates electronic circuits on irregular shapes
Most electronics are built on flat, stiff boards, which makes it incredibly difficult to fit them onto curved and irregular shapes we find in the real world, such as human limbs or curved aircraft wings. While flexible electronics ...
Medical Xpress / What the brain's shape and complexity say about a newborn's development
The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow significantly in size, with billions ...
Phys.org / Refined radiocarbon dating provides clearer timeline of human activity along Cantabrian coast 18,000 years ago
A new study refines radiocarbon dating of marine remains and significantly improves the precision with which the human past of the Magdalenian period in the Cantabrian region of Spain can be reconstructed, a key phase of ...
Phys.org / Largest canine gut microbiome catalog reveals hundreds of new bacterial strains
Researchers at the Waltham Petcare Science Institute in the UK recently revealed a complete taxonomic and functional catalog of the canine gut microbiome after analyzing samples from 107 healthy dogs across the U.S. and Europe. ...
Phys.org / Biologists and engineers follow goopy clues to plant-wilting bacteria
Slippery, drippy goop makes Ralstonia bacteria devastating killers of plants, causing rapid wilting in tomato, potato, and a wide range of other crops, according to new research. The work, published Jan. 22 in Proceedings ...
Phys.org / 2D material offers a solution to long-standing obstacle in diamond-based circuits
Beyond their sparkle, diamonds have hidden talents. They shed heat better than any material, tolerate extreme temperatures and radiation, and handle high voltages while wasting almost no electricity—ideal traits for compact, ...
Phys.org / Howler monkey roars exaggerate body size but are truthful to other howlers
Howler monkeys are relatively small primates known for their incredibly loud, low-frequency roars that sound as if they come from a much larger creature. This is useful in the animal kingdom because sounding big can deter ...
