Fever, aching limbs and a runny nose — as winter returns, so too does the flu. The disease is triggered by influenza viruses, which enter our body through droplets and then infect vulnerable cells.
A research team from Switzerland and Japan has…

Recent research has revealed a technique for producing graphene that deliberately incorporates structural defects to enhance its performance. This strategy could help advance several fields, including sensors, batteries and electronics.

To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.
But common approaches that give LLMs this capability…

A research group led by the University of Cambridge examined giant anaconda fossils found in South America and determined that these snakes reached their full body size about 12.4 million years ago. According to their analysis, anacondas have…

For many people in the United States, spending time indoors does not guarantee protection from harmful air pollution. A new study led by Stanford University and published Dec. 2 in PNAS Nexus reports that gas and propane stoves release…

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational hardware.
These “biocomputers” are still in…

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft have acquired new images of 3I/ATLAS, the third object and the second comet from outside the Solar System confirmed.
Psyche acquired four observations of 3I/ATLAS over the course of eight hours on September 8 and 9,…
