Phys.org / Chatbots are making our writing more similar but losing the identity and personality behind it
Large language models (LLMs) are making writing styles more similar without changing the overall meaning, according to an analysis of more than 880,000 texts across different writing types published in Nature Human Behaviour. ...
Medical Xpress / A rogue neuronal signal may lie at the root of Alzheimer's disease
What if amyloid plaques are not the whole story of Alzheimer's disease? New research suggests that a broad range of Alzheimer's pathologies may be orchestrated by a molecular switch called ERBB4 when it turns on in the wrong ...
Phys.org / Many workplaces resist plant-based lunches despite substantial climate benefits
Are organizations ready for plant-based food at work? A new study from the University of Copenhagen explores this question and shows that only a small proportion of workplaces in Denmark are ready for this change—despite ...
Phys.org / Better timetables could greatly shorten train travel times
Anyone traveling by train across Europe spends a surprisingly large portion of the trip not on a moving train. Today, about 25% of travel time is spent on transfers and layovers at train stations because of poorly coordinated ...

Phys.org / The 'wonder material' graphene can be made using a kitchen blender, a mobile phone and a newspaper
There is something slightly ridiculous about using a kitchen blender to make graphene. This is, after all, the "wonder material" associated with futuristic technologies. You might reasonably expect its production to involve ...
