The Power of Generative AI in Molecular Innovation Generative models have emerged as ...
Exposing the Recognition Gap in Cutting-Edge AI (Image Credits: Pixabay) Advanced artificial intelligence systems, designed to process vast amounts of visual and textual data, often fail to reliably detect embedded copyright notices, complicating their integration into everyday applications. Exposing the Recognition Gap in Cutting-Edge AI A recent evaluation has highlighted a critical shortfall in how ...
Far in NASA’s super-sterile cleanrooms where spacecraft are assembled carefully to not infect other planets, researchers have made a staggering discovery: 26 new, undiscovered species of bacteria flourishing where nearly everything should perish. The microbes, impervious to extreme forms of sterilization, hold genetic information that might re-engineer biotechnology, medicine, and even our definition of life ...
Every so often, Earth’s magnetic field wobbles, falters, and – on rare occasions – flips. We don’t feel it in our bones, but rocks, sediments, and even ancient microbes quietly record the drama. In the last decade, scientists have learned to read those records at astonishingly fine scales, uncovering episodes of chaos that standard measurements ...
Space doesn’t just loom above us – it has stamped its fingerprints into our rocks, oceans, climate, and even the length of our day. Scientists now read those marks like a case file, tracing cataclysms and quiet nudges that steered Earth’s story long before we arrived. What emerges is part thriller, part user’s manual for ...
A groundbreaking study has revealed that North American bird populations are declining most severely in areas where they should be thriving. Researchers analyzed 36 million bird observations submitted by birdwatchers to the Cornell Lab’s eBird program, alongside environmental data from high-resolution satellite imagery. How Scientists Mapped Bird Declines Using zoomable maps, scientists tracked population trends ...
Every rule of flight has an exception, and nature seems to collect them like trophies. For more than a century, scientists have puzzled over animals that look ill-suited for the sky, only to find they rode the wind with ease. Today, new imaging, biomechanics, and aerodynamics are rewriting what we thought was possible, revealing clever ...
On a warming night near a coastal marsh, the chorus of insects swells and a heron glides past like nothing’s wrong. Yet underneath the everyday noise, a population might be collapsing, one missed breeding season at a time. The mystery isn’t just whether we notice; it’s whether the animals themselves sense the cliff’s edge before ...
