Simple psychological interventions are often enough to encourage people to change their behavior—and this is also true when it comes to saving electricity. A new study by Mannheim-based consumer psychologist Dr. Yavor Paunov and colleagues shows that comparing one's own electrici
The head of Germany's Isar Aerospace voiced hope Tuesday that the company could one day overtake Elon Musk's SpaceX to become the world's premier space launch company.
Artificial intelligence use among university students is now near-universal in many countries. Yet, as of a year ago, fewer than one in five universities in a 90-country UNESCO survey had a formal AI policy.
The collective memory of floods and droughts influences where people settle, how they build and how they prepare for the next climatic extreme. Over decades, that memory can fade, and communities may return to places that once proved dangerous. How such memory decayed over centur
Even among plastics labeled "biodegradable," some break down readily while others persist for long periods. In experiments using landfill leachate, a collaborative research team led by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) demonstrated these differences a
The doctoral dissertation of Yazid Albadarin, MSc, entitled "Capturing the impact of generative AI on higher-order thinking, creativity, and cognitive dynamics during debugging" will be examined at the Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, Joensuu campus.
Ocean risks are already severe and worsening, with the potential to become catastrophic without a change of course, according to a new report from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), the University of Exeter and The Ocean Race.
The university experience has changed drastically since artificial intelligence (AI) became widely available four years ago.
An interdisciplinary team of students from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is taking part in iGEM, the international synthetic biology competition in Paris (Nov. 13–16), this fall. Using a clever combination of artificial intelligence, a mechanical trap and protein nanofiber
Math anxiety may be stopping students from learning useful AI and data skills and more — today's student signal.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of everyday life and work. AI can generate information, summarize evidence and perform calculations. However, it does not remove the need for critical thinking and conceptual understanding.
A surprising discovery suggests that some early signs of Alzheimer’s disease may begin outside the brain. Using miniature laboratory systems made from human cells, scientists found that genetic mutations associated with inherited Alzheimer’s can disrupt nerve-to-muscle connection
Artificial intelligence use among university students is now near-universal in many countries. Yet, as of a year ago, fewer than one in five universities in a 90-country UNESCO survey had a formal AI policy.
A shoebox-sized color detection device could enable precise measurements at record resolution, according to new research led by Adelaide University. An international team exploited an integrating sphere—a highly reflective hollow cavity that causes light to bounce around inside m
Whether an individual reoffends after their release from prison or is successfully rehabilitated depends on several factors. When assessing the risk of recidivism, all of these are taken into account—both by human experts and by machine learning models. If several equally reliabl
The pressure to maintain an atmosphere of fun and escapism can make it harder for festival organizations to acknowledge and respond to harm, while frontline workers are left dealing with its consequences, a new study finds.
Scientists have discovered the best evidence yet to show that West Antarctica's most vulnerable ice streams—including its giant Thwaites Glacier—repeatedly collapsed and retreated far inland during natural warm periods of the last 800,000 years.
Swordfish spend much of their time hunting prey about 600 meters (1,970 feet) below the surface in the ocean twilight zone, but occasionally, they reach depths of more than 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). Now, scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are investi
Health care researchers have long sought to harness the power of computing to design molecules that bind to specific receptors and can be used as targeted treatments for diseases. Even with the increasing sophistication of artificial intelligence, however, this technological prom
A new study has revealed a three-dimensional, near-atomic-resolution view of the ribosome from Babesia divergens, one of several Babesia species known to infect humans and cause babesiosis. The structural insights from this close-up view could help researchers identify parasite-s
The head of Germany's Isar Aerospace voiced hope Tuesday that the company could one day overtake Elon Musk's SpaceX to become the world's premier space launch company.
University of Missouri researchers have created a single solid material that responds differently depending on what it's exposed to. Shine light on it, and it changes from yellow to white, an indication of a chemical reaction. Heat it, and it undergoes a different chemical reacti
An influencer posts a photograph of two designer handbags and asks her followers which one she should buy. Another wants recommendations for restaurants in a new city she is visiting. Someone else asks which beauty dupes are actually worth trying.
An international team of researchers, led by Jonathan Freundlich (University of Strasbourg, Astronomical Observatory), has revealed how a dense cosmic environment depletes galaxies of their gas. By mapping the molecular gas in a galaxy group located 7 billion light-years away, th
