Humans have been successfully trained to spot AI-generated faces in a study led by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) Emotions and Faces Lab. The study, "Training Humans to Detect AI-generated Faces," ...
Phys.org / Why Europe's rising plant diversity may signal habitat disruption, not ecological recovery
The number of plant species in many ecosystems in Europe has grown rather than shrunk over the last 100 years. However, this is not necessarily cause for celebration, as this local increase is primarily due to generalists ...
Medical Xpress / Kidney cancer gene reveals an unexpected weakness and a new path for treatment
A common genetic mutation that helps some kidney cancers survive may also expose an unexpected weakness, one that MUSC Hollings Cancer Center researchers hope to transform into a new treatment strategy. In a study published ...
Phys.org / Tailored supplier strategies could cut emissions better than one-size-fits-all procurement
Companies hoping to reduce the environmental impact of their purchasing should tailor relationships with suppliers to different types of products rather than relying on a single procurement strategy, according to research ...
Phys.org / Synthetic chemical framework can switch magnetic spin states at near ambient temperatures
There is growing demand for smart materials that can change their physical properties in response to various external stimuli such as light, heat, pressure, magnetic fields and electric fields. One such physical property ...
Phys.org / Testing the orbital mechanics of giant mirrors
Giant mirrors in space have been a staple of science fiction for decades. But so far, there's been very little work looking at the actual physics behind the concept—possibly because we're still so far from making them ourselves. ...
Phys.org / Ozone depletion began decades before discovery of ozone hole, scientists find
The Antarctic ozone hole was discovered in 1985, when scientists observed a severe depletion in Earth's protective layer of stratospheric ozone. Industrial chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), then widely used as ...
