Researchers at Helmholtz Munich have developed an artificial intelligence model that can simulate human behavior with remarkable accuracy. The language model, called Centaur, was trained on more than ten million decisions from psychological experiments—and makes […]
While more traditional defense methods like camouflage, venom and spines appear ineffective against large sharks and mammals, electric rays are sending out electric discharges to fend off sharks in dangerous waters, said Florida International University […]
Creating new scientific models of plankton is “critical” to understanding the scale of global climate change, a new paper argues. The article, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory’s Professor Kevin Flynn and including the University of […]
Light pollution, or artificial light at night (ALAN), is a widespread phenomenon in areas with dense human populations. Normally, animals use natural external cues, like sunlight and temperature, to synchronize their biological rhythms with the […]
A London-based dentist may have cracked a centuries-old mathematics puzzle hidden in one of the most famous anatomical drawings in the world—Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. This discovery suggests the iconic image reflects the same […]
Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect models to explore how some species trick predators into thinking they’re more dangerous than they really are—and avoid being eaten as a result.This article […]
Horrific allegations of child sexual abuse in childcare centers across Melbourne have put the role of men in early childhood education back in the spotlight.This article was originally published on this website.
A new review article published in the Journal of Environmental Management summarizes the current state of knowledge on the occurrence of tire wear particles and the release of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. The researchers warn […]
A research team at the University of Cologne has found that video summaries of scientific studies that are presented in a more simple manner, using simpler language and visual presentation, lead to better comprehension of […]
Common carp which are reared in fish-farms, stocked into recreational fisheries and then captured regularly by catch-and-release angling show much lower chronic stress levels than their wild counterparts that never see an angler’s hook, a […]
