New research has found that tree species diversity can play a crucial role in protecting forests from the growing threat of extreme climate events. The study analyzed data from 88,116 separate forest plots across the United ...
Tech Xplore / Why adding AI agents to a system sometimes reduces its performance
Computer scientists worldwide have been developing a wide range of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Some of these systems rely on an individual AI agent, while others consist of multiple interacting agents that exchange ...
Phys.org / One quarter of Australian kids are 'developmentally vulnerable' when they start school
We know the first five years are a crucial time in a child's life. Early experiences, such as family relationships or exposure to trauma, shape brain architecture, which lays the foundation for children's learning, behavior ...
Phys.org / Treat education as infrastructure during wartime, say researchers in Ukraine
War destroys laboratories and instruments. It also severs the human networks through which science reproduces itself. It disrupts mentorship, collaborations and informal ties that turn students into researchers.
Phys.org / Dog parks are an antidote to the isolation and divisions that social media can fuel
The case against social media has become so well rehearsed that most people can easily merge it into ordinary conversation: It makes people lonely. It sorts them into camps. It hands them a room full of people who already ...
