Arabian Sea sediments reveal summer and winter monsoons shifted differently after last ice

High-resolution sediment analyses from the Arabian Sea reveal, for the first time, that summer and winter monsoons respond differently to global climate change. The study enhances understanding of past precipitation patterns and could help refine climate models for regions influe

Weatherwatch: Cleaner clouds may slow rate of global heating

Study shows falling dust levels are making clouds more reflective, an effect not taken into account in climate modelsCleaner clouds are helping to slow the rate of global heating, a study shows. Falling levels of dust in the atmosphere are making clouds more reflective. This prev

How asteroids may have sparked life on Earth

Ancient asteroid impacts may have done more than reshape Earth's surface—they could have helped spark life itself. New computer models show the collisions created enormous underground hydrothermal systems by cracking the planet's crust and allowing hot water to flow through it. T

Trained AI outperforms biologists at spotting salmon lice

Researchers have taken over 120,000 images of salmon lice larvae in seawater and used them to train AI models. The models were much faster and more accurate than experienced biologists at identifying the parasites that feed on the skin and blood of salmonids.

Efficient method for preparing pseudopregnant mice promotes laboratory animal welfare

In biomedical research using mouse models, preparing pseudopregnant recipient females is a standard step in embryo transfer protocols. Conventionally, this process requires technicians to select female mice showing clear signs of estrus. Because only a limited percentage of mice

Day-night ocean warming helps explain why El Niño outpaces La Niña in models

Researchers have long known that there is an asymmetry in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the confluence of wind and water currents that creates warm El Niño events and cooler La Niña events. Large-scale climate models tend to underrepresent this asymmetry for reasons th

What's in a name? AI associates Jewish names with stereotypical traits

A cynical doctor. A ruthless chemist. An arrogant billionaire. A calculating mafia boss. These are not only some of today's most iconic fictional characters—they are also the figures that artificial intelligence models found most similar to fictional biographies of people with Je

Large language model guides discovery of catalysts for clean energy tech

Designing high-performance catalysts is essential for cleaner energy technologies, but the behavior of multi-element modern catalyst materials is difficult to predict. In a new study, researchers at Tohoku University with international collaborators developed a collaborative fram

Nature's puncture tools reveal shape trade-offs between piercing power and strength

Nature has invented countless types of pointy appendages, and scientists have long sought to explain what makes these structures so effective at puncturing other things. A new study models the key physical characteristics of puncturing tools to reflect their diversity in nature,

Heidelberg physicists just united two opposing quantum theories

A new quantum theory bridges two rival models of how impurities behave inside many-particle systems, resolving a problem that has challenged physicists for decades. The findings could reshape experiments on ultracold atoms, semiconductors, and other exotic forms of quantum matter

AI identifies new particle models that may explain neutrinos' tiny mass

Physicists at the University of California, Irvine, have developed an artificial intelligence system that can autonomously design theoretical physics models, a task traditionally carried out by human theorists. The approach allows researchers to explore large, uncharted areas of

As national drought deepens, a new AI model helps balance water demands

As drought strains water supplies across much of the United States, Virginia Tech researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to help policymakers manage growing competition between agriculture and semiconductor manufacturing. Feras Batarseh, associa
