Phys.org / Teen's 1958 find becomes Australia's oldest dinosaur fossil
University of Queensland research has confirmed Brisbane's only dinosaur fossil is Australia's oldest, dating back to the earliest part of the Late Triassic period 230 million years ago. The 18.5-centimeter footprint was ...
Dialog / Using data to reduce subjectivity in landslide susceptibility mapping
In recent years, numerous landslides on hillsides in urban and rural areas have underscored that understanding and predicting these phenomena is more than an academic curiosity—it is a human necessity. When unstable slopes ...
Phys.org / Q&A: What we've learned about how students are using AI, and how to help them
Much is being said about the wonders of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it is the new frontier. And while it provides amazing possibilities in fields like medicine, academics are debating its advantages for university ...
Phys.org / Perseverance rover completes first AI-planned drive on Mars
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has completed the first drives on another world that were planned by artificial intelligence. Executed on Dec. 8 and 10, and led by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, ...
Medical Xpress / Why we sleep poorly in new environments: A brain circuit that keeps animals awake
You check into a hotel and toss and turn all night, but your sleep improves the following night. Scientists at Nagoya University wanted to understand why this happens. Working with mice, they have identified a group of neurons ...
Phys.org / NASA fuels its moon rocket in a crucial test to decide when Artemis astronauts will launch
NASA fueled its new moon rocket in one final make-or-break test Monday, with hopes of sending astronauts on a lunar fly-around as soon as this coming weekend.
Phys.org / Using generative AI to help scientists synthesize complex materials
Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many cases, materials synthesis ...
Phys.org / Why futuristic, tech-centered 'smart city' projects are destined to fail
For residents of European cities—with their snarled traffic, drafty old buildings, creaking public services and gray winters—it's easy to see the appeal of moving to a brand-new, high-tech metropolis.
Phys.org / Reading the moon's diary, one speck of dust at a time
Magnetism on the moon has always been a bit confusing. Remote sensing probes have noted there is some magnetic signature, but far from the strong cocoon that surrounds Earth itself. Previous attempts to detect it in returned ...
Medical Xpress / Night owl or early bird? Study finds sleep categories aren't that simple
The familiar labels "night owl" and "early bird," long used in sleep research, don't fully capture the diversity of human internal clocks, a new study has found. The McGill University-led study published in Nature Communications ...
Phys.org / The rise and fall (and rise again) of gold prices: What's going on?
In late January, the gold price reached an all-time peak of around US $5,500 (£4,025). January 30 saw one of the largest one-day falls in prices, which sank by nearly 10% after hitting a record high only the day before.
Phys.org / Identifying mechanisms that support nanoparticle therapy for autoimmune diseases
Northwestern Medicine scientists in the laboratory of Stephen Miller, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Microbiology–Immunology, have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms required for the antigen-specific tolerance ...
