The bright flash has cosmologists adjusting their models on how such intergalactic energy behaves.

A neural network can identify references that are unlikely to support an article’s claims, and scour the web for better sources.

Establish an independent scientific body to test and certify generative artificial intelligence, before the technology damages science and public trust.

IBM’s NorthPole processor sidesteps need to access external memory, boosting computing power and saving energy.

The head of Europe’s main body for research-management professionals talks about the impact of artificial intelligence and the continued battle for recognition for those supporting scientists’ work.

US senators grilled Monica Bertagnolli during a hearing over her plans for the National Institutes of Health, including how she will repair the agency’s reputation.

Remains suggest that ancient bats used the same form of echolocation as species flying the skies now.

Experiments suggest that sleep doesn’t cut you off from the outside world as much as scientists had thought.

An exoplanet named TOI-1420b has a volume more than 1,700 times that of Earth but a mass 25 times Earth’s.

Tactic could be co-opted to make gene-editing more precise, and how much melting of Greenland’s ice sheet can be prevented.

Tests on monkeys with a simian version of the virus show that the BCG vaccine provides protection against the bacterium that causes TB.

After the production of double-stranded breaks in mammalian cells, ATM drives the formation of the D compartment, which regulates DNA damage-responsive genes, through the clustering of damaged topologically associating domains, with a mechanism that is consistent with polymer–polymer phase separation.

Olivines from Baffin Island lavas have the highest magmatic ³He/⁴He ratio measured so far in terrestrial igneous rocks, indicating that the helium in these lavas might derive from Earth’s core.

Satellite data used to generate high-resolution maps across Southeast Asia show that rubber-related deforestation is at least twofold to threefold higher than suggested by estimates used for setting policy.

A scalable nanophotonic electron accelerator with a high particle acceleration gradient and good beam confinement achieves an energy gain of 43%.

Simulations using two state-of-the-art ice-sheet models show that abrupt melting of the Greenland ice sheet following overshooting of the global mean temperature critical threshold can be mitigated by subsequent cooling to below 1.5 °C.

Water thermodynamics drive changes in macromolecular assembly that rapidly restore intracellular water availability in response to physiological fluctuations in temperature, pressure and osmotic strength.

The discrepancy between the short half-life of ketamine and its long-lasting effects is due to ketamine being trapped in NMDA receptors, and its release depends on neural activity in the lateral habenula.

Orbital multiferroicity reported in pentalayer rhombohedral graphene features ferro-orbital-magnetism and ferro-valleytricity, both of which can be controlled by an electric field.
