Phys.org / A major Quebec survey finds 5 flaws in the 'augmented work' myth
We're being promised a revolution. Artificial intelligence is said to make work both more productive and more enjoyable by freeing us from tedious tasks and allowing us to devote more time to what really matters. This is ...
Tech Xplore / People prefer stories written by AI—especially when told they're written by a human
People gave the highest ratings to AI-generated stories they were told had been written by humans and were unable to tell the difference between human- and AI-created stories, according to new research published in Judgement ...
Medical Xpress / Cyclospora spreads through human waste, so how did it get on food?
The nationwide cyclospora outbreak is very likely a result of sewage contamination in the food supply, according to scientific researchers and public health officials.
Tech Xplore / 3D printing method creates soft actuators with switchable heat-driven motion
Soft materials that change shape in response to heat are attracting growing interest in applications ranging from soft robotics to wearable technologies and biomedical devices. However, conventional extrusion-based 3D printing ...
Phys.org / Dodo birds more clever than we thought
The Mauritian dodo—a global symbol of human-caused extinction and one of the world's largest pigeons—may not have deserved its reputation as a silly simpleton and may have been the only member of its group to live in the ...
Phys.org / New survey: Parents and educators say the rise of AI requires students to develop stronger data skills
As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes education and the workforce, a majority of parents and educators believe it's essential for students to develop data literacy skills, according to a new survey released today by ...
Medical Xpress / Biomarkers aid cost-benefit analysis of head and neck cancer immunotherapy
The cost-effectiveness of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma may depend on biomarker results, according to a new study.
Medical Xpress / Real-world study provides new insights into safety of new Alzheimer's drug lecanemab
As new Alzheimer's drugs move from clinical trials into everyday care, families are asking whether these treatments are safe, how long patients can stay on them and whether they truly slow the disease outside tightly controlled ...
Phys.org / Butterfly ranges shift worldwide amid climate change, with most species expanding their reach
A global analysis of range-shift records for 1,758 butterfly species—10% of known butterfly species—found that 80% had expanded their range and that 79% of all recorded range shifts were linked to climate change and extreme ...
Phys.org / Fossil study finds vision—not the 'thinking' frontal lobe—drove varied brain development in primates
A new study led by a Duke University scientist overturns a long-held idea about how primates, including humans, came to have such large and sophisticated brains. The research finds that the dramatic expansion of the primate ...
Phys.org / X(2370) emerges as glueball-dominated particle in collider experiments
At the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Brazil, the BESIII Collaboration report that, after 15 years of sustained research, it identified the dominant constituent of the X(2370) as a pseudoscalar glueball ...
Medical Xpress / Household hums below hearing range damage mouse kidneys in five-day experiment
Previous studies have hinted that people surrounded by more environmental noise—low, deep rumblings from air-conditioning units, elevator motors, distant traffic and ventilation ducts—tend to have worse kidney function. But ...
