Phys.org / 'PrincipalGPT' creates a new AI blueprint for legal literacy in the classroom
Moving legal studies from the textbook to the digital arena, a new AI-based model for K-12 learning is taking shape at the University of Florida. In his graduate-level school law course, Chris Thomas, J.D., Ph.D., has found ...
Tech Xplore / They look like harmless game features, but these design tricks quietly reshape how young players spend money
Originally, video games were a product you paid for once and that then provided as many hours of entertainment as users wanted to spend at the computer or console. Now, however, on the mobile phones that are in almost everybody's ...
Phys.org / What a list of Black Death survivors reveals about the way people recovered from plague
In our research in the British Library's medieval collections, we have identified a previously unnoticed document that provides fresh insights into the survivors of the outbreak of plague known as the Black Death (1346–53).
Medical Xpress / Helping more patients through a new production process for specific PET scan tracers
PET tracers are used in PET scans. PET scans make it possible to visualize and measure biological processes in the body. By injecting a small amount of radioactive tracer into the body, doctors can, for example, see how much ...
Tech Xplore / A human-inspired pipeline could enhance the training of computer vision models
Over the past few decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can tackle some tasks exceedingly well. These include computer vision models, systems that can ...
Tech Xplore / Body-compatible electrode developed: Rigid on insertion, soft once inside
A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed a novel electrode that the human body does not reject. This advance addresses a fundamental limitation of current wearable technology ...
Medical Xpress / Tumor gene changes linked to shorter gallbladder cancer survival, analysis shows
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an extremely aggressive biliary tract malignancy characterized by silent early progression, late-stage diagnosis and poor prognosis. It is one of the most lethal gastrointestinal cancers, with ...
Medical Xpress / Brain-controlled hearing system isolates one speaker in noisy settings, first human tests show
Scientists at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute have the first direct evidence from human studies that brain-controlled hearing technology can help people single out a voice in a crowd. These early findings suggest ...
Medical Xpress / Paired antiviral approach pushes SARS-CoV-2 toward near-complete loss of infectivity
A new study led by researchers at the University of Malaga proposes a new antiviral strategy against SARS-CoV-2—the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 disease—based on a treatment that combines two complementary approaches ...
Medical Xpress / When uncertainty hits, people with higher autistic traits reach for words that may calm anxiety
We feel more anxious when facing uncertain or unpredictable situations, but for those who score higher on autistic traits, this anxiety tends to be stronger. Published in Scientific Reports, a new study suggests uncertainty-driven ...
Phys.org / Scientists use AI to interpret the sun's acoustic heartbeat
A new AI-based approach that can "hear" inside the sun could give vital signs of the solar disturbances that have significant effects in near-Earth space and on human activities. The solar cycle is an approximate 11-year ...
Medical Xpress / WHO confirms eight cases of Andes hantavirus in outbreak
Eight people infected in the hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship have tested positive for the Andes virus, the only strain transmitted between humans, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
