Weak AI regulations may leave artificial intelligence less safe
2+ hour, 24+ min ago (973+ words) New research warns that weak AI safety regulations can actually make artificial intelligence less safe. Instead of encouraging companies to improve their products, poorly designed rules may shift responsibility in ways that reduce overall safety. The risk appears when regulations…...
Electronic nose can smell spoiled food before you can
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (799+ words) Most people trust their own nose to judge whether food has gone off. The human nose works fairly well, yet it misses plenty. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 48 million Americans suffer a foodborne illness each…...
When this brain switch goes quiet, thoughts become noisier
2+ mon, 10+ hour ago (825+ words) The usual assumption about a struggling brain is that something has gone quiet – a circuit turned down, a signal lost. When mental flexibility breaks down, the picture that comes to mind is underactivity. A new study offers a stranger answer....
AI found over 100 hidden exoplanets in NASA data, and thousands more may be waiting
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (902+ words) Seven years into its mission, NASA’s TESS satellite has already confirmed roughly 700 exoplanets. That sounds like a lot. But the telescope watches over 2 million stars, and most signals flagged as promising have never been properly sorted. Buried in that backlog…...
AI tool traces gene ancestry in minutes instead of days
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (775+ words) Scientists have built an AI tool that reads genetic code the way ChatGPT reads text – scanning DNA for mutation patterns to trace genes back through time to their common ancestors. It’s faster than anything currently available, works with incomplete data,…...
Measuring wind with machine learning and water vapor
2+ mon, 4+ week ago (429+ words) For most of meteorology’s history, wind has been the atmosphere’s most uncooperative variable. Temperature reads cleanly off a thermometer and pressure off a barometer. However, the motion of the air itself has long resisted easy capture from above. A study…...
AI discovers owls prefer the suburbs
8+ mon, 2+ day ago (244+ words) This revelation emerged from sophisticated computer modeling that analyzed temperature data, infrastructure maps, and thousands of citizen science observations from platforms like eBird. The results defied conventional wisdom about these elusive predators. Unlike barred owls expanding into new territories, great…...
Life may have emerged a billion years earlier than we thought
8+ mon, 6+ day ago (793+ words) Earth holds memories far older than humans. These memories rest inside ancient stones shaped by heat, pressure, and time. Many early signs of life vanished as these rocks changed deep within the crust. Yet scientists continue to search for faint…...
Ancient scrolls decoded by artificial intelligence
9+ mon, 2+ week ago (763+ words) Three students have achieved what seemed impossible for centuries. Using artificial intelligence, they successfully deciphered ancient Roman scrolls that were carbonized by Mount Vesuvius’ devastating eruption in 79 A.D. When the volcano erupted nearly two millennia ago, it didn’t just preserve…...
