Tech Xplore / Deepfake songs are exploding, but a new tool shuts them down
Artificial intelligence models can now clone a voice with just a few seconds of audio, fueling a surge of deepfake songs online and creating a growing crisis for musicians who don't want their voices hijacked. Beyond the ...
Phys.org / A new scientific discipline to ensure humanity's deep future
Will humanity extend into the far future? It's likely many of us think it should. The problem is that each of us, individually and collectively, act otherwise—we are destroying the environment and climate at every turn. ...
Phys.org / Japan startup's space rocket fails for third time
A Japanese startup's third attempt to put a satellite in orbit failed on Thursday after its rocket spiraled back to Earth shortly after takeoff.
Tech Xplore / Engineers issue hot take on cold-steel: Finding hidden damage requires radar, AI
A University of Houston engineer has developed a method to detect possible damage in concealed cold-formed steel construction framing materials hidden behind walls, without having to tear the walls open. The new technology ...
Phys.org / Did plants nearly wipe out all marine life on Earth—twice?
UC College of Arts and Sciences Professor Thomas Algeo has been studying the planet's five major mass extinctions since the Ordovician Period, when global sea levels were much higher than today. In a paper published in Nature ...
Phys.org / First 3D reconstruction of the face of 'Little Foot' completed
Identified as the most complete Australopithecus fossil discovered to date, "Little Foot" was buried in sediments whose movement and weight caused fractures and deformations, making analysis of its skull—and more particularly ...
Phys.org / DNA study uncovers continental origins of Britain's Bronze Age population
When ancient DNA studies began to gain attention, little more than a decade ago, the view took hold among geneticists that everything we thought we knew about the peopling of Europe by modern humans was wrong. The story was ...
Medical Xpress / Planning post-stroke care: Calculator predicts six-month memory and thinking problems
Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a "Stroke Cognition Calculator," a new tool designed to estimate a person's chance of having thinking and memory problems six months after a stroke. The study, led by ...
Medical Xpress / Smartphone health care app features help motivate users to increase physical activity
Smartphone health care applications are widely used to support weight management and broader lifestyle improvement. However, many existing apps primarily emphasize dietary tracking and feedback, while offering relatively ...
Tech Xplore / Are Google's 'preferred sources' a good thing for online news?
Why do you see the results you do when you search for information online? It's a complex mix of what the source is, its relationships to other sources online, and your own past browsing history and device settings.
Phys.org / Chemically 'stapled' peptides used to target difficult-to-treat cancers
Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a new technology that uses bacteria to build, chemically stabilize, and test millions of potential drug molecules inside living cells, making it much quicker and easier ...
Phys.org / Physicists discover long-predicted 'clock magnetism' in an atomically thin crystal
Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an atom thick. Reporting in the journal Nature Materials, a team led by physicists at The University ...
