Do you think that a person who reorganizes their life so that their aging parents can live with them would be likely to push another out of the way on the subway? What about greeting strangers with a smile? The answers to ...
Phys.org / New peanut genome map uncovers hidden gene, boosts dense-planting yields 20%
An international team that includes researchers from Murdoch University's Centre for Crop and Food Innovation (CCFI) has built the most comprehensive genetic map of the peanut yet and used this new genomic resource to breed ...
Phys.org / AI can be more comforting than a person—our research shows why
Some of us now use generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) to talk through difficult feelings. We may ask a chatbot to write an email or plan a vacation, but we also tell it that we have had a rotten day or feel anxious ...
Phys.org / Mitotic chromosomes may assemble from pre-existing chromatin 'building blocks' during cell division
Inside each human cell, about 2 meters (6.6 feet) of genomic DNA must be accurately copied and equally transmitted to two daughter cells during cell division. To achieve this, the copied DNA is condensed into thick, short ...
Medical Xpress / Stable answers help medical AI flag diagnoses clinicians can trust
AI agents could reliably support diagnoses and clinical decision-making in the future—provided sensitive health data are protected and clinicians can assess the reliability of individual AI-generated results. Researchers ...
