Artificial intelligence (AI) is seemingly everywhere. Currently, generative AI, in particular — tools like Midjourney, ChatGPT, Gemini (previously Bard), and others — is at the peak of hype. But as an academic discipline, this technology has been around for much longer than just the last couple of years. When it comes to real-world applications, many ...
Scientists have no reported evidence of the actual conditions in Hell, perhaps because no one has ever returned to tell the tale. Hell has been imagined as a supremely uncomfortable place, hot and hostile to bodily forms of human life, similar to a black hole. Thanks to a vast astronomical survey of the entire sky, ...
An article published this week in the prestigious journal Nature Medicine documents what is believed to be the first evidence that Alzheimer’s disease can be transmitted from person to person. The finding arose from long-term follow up of patients who received human growth hormone (hGH) that was taken from brain tissue of deceased donors. Preparations ...
If you’re one of the one in three Australians whose New Year’s resolution involved losing weight, be working toward it. But type “setting a weight loss goal” into any online search engine, and you’ll likely be left with more questions than answers. Sure, the many weight loss apps and calculators available will make setting this ...
Since antiquity, Mars has been a source of myth, lore, and inspiration. It is also an exciting place to research — a legitimate candidate for us to find some form of alien life. Since the 1960s, Mars has been a popular destination for space missions. For the first time, NASA has invited the private sector ...
Studies of neurological organoids, plant growth, and shifts in body fluids aboard the International Space Station as part of Expedition 71 are among the scientific investigations that NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Tracy C. Dyson will help support. The crew members are targeting launch to the space station in February and March. Work ...
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) this week released new guidelines for youth and community sport designed to change the way concussion is managed across the country. While the guidelines contain a host of recommendations about on-field concussion management and identifying symptoms, the biggest changes relate to how these incidents are managed after they happen. ...
Capable of receiving both radio frequency and optical signals, the DSN’s hybrid antenna has tracked and decoded the downlink laser from DSOC aboard NASA’s Psyche mission. An experimental antenna has received both radio frequency and near-infrared laser signals from NASA’s Psyche spacecraft as it travels through deep space. This shows it’s possible for the giant dish antennas ...
During ice ages, dry, frozen terrain extended over much of northern Europe, Asia, and North America. Many plants and animals retreated from these desolate, harsh landscapes and sought refuge in pockets of more hospitable territory. But what was happening in the rest of the world? For a long time, scientists have thought that dry conditions ...
Since the first detonation of an atomic bomb in 1945, more than 2,000 nuclear weapons tests have been conducted by eight countries: the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. Groups such as the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization are constantly on the lookout for new tests. However, ...
