Tech Xplore / When rogue AI launches a cyberattack, who is legally responsible?
Cyberattacks carried out by two OpenAI artificial intelligence models acting autonomously raise a novel legal question: Who is responsible when AI goes rogue?
Phys.org / Volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ring of Fire may have cooled Earth for centuries
For around 12,000 years, the Earth has been in the Holocene epoch, a warmer period following a glacial period. During this epoch, however, there have been around 22 abrupt cold phases, each lasting up to several centuries ...
Tech Xplore / Neighborhood effects of rooftop solar support the energy transition
A study by researchers from the Universities of Passau and Lausanne shows that when a household installs a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, neighboring households respond as well—and not only by installing solar panels themselves.
Medical Xpress / Study identifies link between caregiver-child relationship, ADHD symptoms
Research from Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Mental Health Innovation provides new evidence that the way caregivers interact with children when they're very young can protect against the negative effects ...
Phys.org / Curiosity Mars rover discovers field of honeycomb textures
As NASA's Curiosity rover recently began climbing a Martian valley nicknamed "Valle Grande," it sent back images that were a familiar sight to mission scientists: honeycomb-like textures called polygonal fractures, each about ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests a shared logic of sensory processing across vertebrate brains
How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear and feel, and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world?
Phys.org / Solar wind stirs Mars' upper atmosphere, boosting ion loss to space
Our sun constantly releases a stream of high-speed charged particles, known as the solar wind. Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a strong global magnetic field to shield its atmosphere from this flow. As a result, the solar ...
Medical Xpress / DNA sequencing offers more precise diagnosis for serious lung infections
Lung infections are a constant risk for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-threatening genetic disorder that impairs lung function, predisposes people to persistent airway infections and puts them at risk of ...
Phys.org / New theory on how six‑tonne Stonehenge rock was transported from Scotland thousands of years ago: On a glacier
Built from stones weighing between 2 and 25 tonnes (2 to 28 tons), the structure of Stonehenge demonstrates a scale of construction hard to imagine before the invention of the wheel. The mystery deepens when you consider ...
Phys.org / Most Americans prefer non-violent border enforcement, study finds
Most Americans favor nonviolent measures, such as temporary barricades, over violent measures, like the use of rubber bullets, by border enforcement officers toward undocumented migrants on the southern border, a UCL-led ...
Phys.org / How digital interferences shape parent-child time
New research is giving children a voice in understanding how technological interruptions affect parent-child relationships. A paper, "Distracted, Interrupted, or Disrupted: A Pathway Model of Technoference," led by Associate ...
Medical Xpress / Mapping how metabolism rewires protein function in cancer
All cells metabolize nutrients to generate the energy and molecular building blocks required for survival. Cancer cells, however, do it differently. To sustain rapid growth and adapt to hostile environments, they extensively ...
