Phys.org / Mathematicians say 'don't believe hype' on AI capabilities
Dozens of mathematicians signed a declaration Tuesday calling for the discipline to resist beating the drum for artificial intelligence developers.
Medical Xpress / Largest study of knee osteoarthritis tissue reveals core biological pathways underlying the disease
A major international study led by researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at the University of Oxford has found that osteoarthritis (OA)—the most common form of arthritis worldwide—is not a collection of separate ...
Phys.org / Thirty years at El Mirón cave uncover 40,000 years of Iberian prehistory
For the past three decades, a team of archaeologists have been uncovering some of the field's most recent monumental discoveries, relying on gut instinct, persistent hard work, and cutting-edge methods and technologies.
Medical Xpress / How the brain regulates learning on a cellular level: 3D maps reveal synapses reorganizing in real time
Inside the brain is a dense network of neurons that receive, process, and relay information. The synapse, where neurons meet, is the epicenter of this communication. Neurons that send information, called presynaptic neurons, ...
Phys.org / Ötzi the Iceman and his microbiome—a 5,300-year-old relationship
Researchers at Eurac Research have obtained a detailed picture of the microbial community associated with Ötzi, Europe's oldest known natural human mummy. The study provides insights into a complex microbiome, ranging from ...
Medical Xpress / New AI tools could help eye doctors diagnose retinal disease faster
Non-invasive eye scans allow doctors a zoomed-in, three-dimensional look beneath the eye's surface without causing discomfort or pain to the patient. Used routinely in clinics worldwide, the scans produce detailed views of ...
Phys.org / Hawai'i's last false killer whales threatened by nutritional stress and warming seas
A seven-year collaborative study has revealed alarming fluctuations in the health of Hawaii's endangered insular false killer whales, with some individuals losing nearly a quarter of their body weight in just a few months. ...
Phys.org / For satellites as small as a briefcase, getting around in space just got a whole lot easier
MIT engineers are testing a new propulsion system that combines the power and speed of conventional chemical thrusters with the precision and fuel-efficiency of electrical thrusters. The system could enable the design of ...
Medical Xpress / Therapy may be judged by the wrong standards, argues new analysis
Psychological therapies may be evaluated using research methods designed for drugs rather than talking treatments—potentially limiting patient choice and shaping mental health services in the wrong way—according to a new ...
Phys.org / AI-generated compounds hit specific cell types and outperform conventional screening
The classical drug discovery paradigm begins with a known molecular target: a protein whose modulation is expected to reverse the course of a disease. However, in many pathologies, such a target does not always exist or is ...
Tech Xplore / Grounded in reality, new AI model spots fake images with less training
Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images have become increasingly more sophisticated than early ones that showed humans with more than five fingers on a hand, making it even harder to determine whether photos are authentic. ...
Phys.org / Atomic reshuffle leads to record-breaking catalysts for hydrogen production
Researchers have discovered that atoms can be mixed, separated, and recombined within the same experiment, providing a pathway to a record-breaking catalyst for green hydrogen production. In their study, the team created ...
