Phys.org / Human–AI relationships in fiction: Theoretical cultural framework developed to understand AI representations
Researchers at University of Tsukuba examined how artificial intelligence (AI) is represented in fictional media, including films, animation, literature, and games. Published in the journal AI & SOCIETY, their analysis indicates ...
Medical Xpress / Addition of palbociclib improves progression-free survival in HR-positive, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer
For patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer, the addition of palbociclib to maintenance anti-HER2 and endocrine therapies leads to improved ...
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 ...
Phys.org / Two essential coral species are now functionally extinct—but should we give up hope?
After a devastating marine heat wave hit the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas in 2023, the populations of two essential reef-building corals are now too low to fulfill their ecological roles. However, coral researchers are not ...
Phys.org / Biochemists find solution that lets bacteriophages bypass bacterial immunity
Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and fungi defend themselves against the drugs designed to kill them—is an urgent threat to global public health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To combat ...
Phys.org / New study identifies warning signs for extreme flash flooding
Climate experts have identified an atmospheric configuration that can release huge volumes of water in a matter of minutes. Led by Newcastle University and the UK Met Office, the research helps explain some of the world's ...
Medical Xpress / A 'window to the brain': Chip tracks glioblastoma treatment response using tumor vesicles in blood
Technology created at the University of Queensland could improve the odds of surviving brain cancer and change how we treat a range of neurological conditions. Dr. Richard Lobb and Dr. Zhen Zhang from UQ's Australian Institute ...
Medical Xpress / Decoding the molecular signatures of night blindness
Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is caused by mutations in a specific calcium channel. A comprehensive proteomic study by researchers at the University of Innsbruck now reveals how these mutations trigger complex, ...
Medical Xpress / Inside the newborn mind: Babies categorize objects in the brain at just two months old, neuroscientists discover
Babies as young as two months old are able to categorize distinct objects in their brains—much earlier than previously thought—according to new research from neuroscientists at Trinity College Dublin. The research, which ...
Phys.org / New formula unravels vines' parasitic nature
Twisting upwardly on trees and other plants—along with houses and even lampposts—vines are a wonder of nature. However, their marvels mask their parasitic behavior: in attaching to other life forms, vines block sunlight ...
Phys.org / Designing the future of metabolic health through tissue-selective drug delivery
New treatments based on biological molecules like RNA give scientists unprecedented control over how cells function. But delivering those drugs to the right tissues remains one of the biggest obstacles to turning these promising ...
