Phys.org / Scientists reveal what drives homosexual behavior in primates
Homosexual behavior in primates has a deep evolutionary basis and is more likely to occur in species that live in harsh environments, are hunted by predators or live in more complex societies, scientists said Monday.
Tech Xplore / Digital mark and data protection guidelines 'silence' on AI training prevents effective competition, experts warn
A "silence" in new data guidelines risks preventing fair competition in AI development and allows dominant firms to strengthen their artificial intelligence, experts have warned.
Tech Xplore / Study offers roadmap for cleaner, lower-cost EV charging in cold weather
Electrifying cars and trucks can cut greenhouse gas emissions, but in cold regions the climate benefits hinge on what powers the grid.
