Phys.org / AI can design cities, but can it understand what matters to people? 10 ways to keep humans in control
Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new content—like text, images, or ideas—by learning patterns from existing data. GenAI, particularly through large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT ...
Phys.org / You are what you eat: Cichlid fish reveal how food sources drive evolution of digestive system
Different beak and jaw shapes are illustrative examples of how animal species have adapted to different food sources. In a new study published in the journal Nature, researchers now show how diet itself shapes the composition ...
Medical Xpress / Exercising in the open air is the best ally to combat winter vitamin D deficiency, study says
Vitamin D is important for the body to function properly: it balances the immune system, helps to keep bones healthy and benefits muscle regeneration. Yet, 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient. This is the case ...
Phys.org / SpaceX is about to go public. Here's how it works
Hundreds of companies raised a combined $70 billion by selling shares to the public in the United States last year.
Phys.org / Extreme weather events are accelerating tidal wetland loss, satellite data show
Tidal wetlands are critical, yet vulnerable ecosystems. Tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and tidal flats support biodiversity, protect against flooding and storm surges, sequester carbon, and improve water quality. Due to ...
Phys.org / SpaceX reveals plans for what could be the biggest-ever initial public offering
