Why AI rules in science matter now: Nature backs wider debate beyond mathematics

In an editorial, Nature endorses the "Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics," which was published earlier this month by researchers from 15 different universities, including Rodrigo Ochigame (CADS) and David Holmes (FWN).

Dog's skull shape and body weight linked to spinal fluid disorder risk

A new Cornell University study helps deepen the understanding of skull shapes in dogs of different sizes and draws a link between cranial and facial shapes, body weight, and the risk of syringomyelia, a spinal condition common in some dog breeds.

Scientists measure hidden quantum forces that could power a new generation of pharmaceutic

It's one thing to design a pharmaceutical drug. It's another to know if and why it actually works; not on paper or in a computer model, but inside the chaotic world of living systems, where proteins twist into shape, atoms constantly pull and push each other apart, and molecular

After parenthood, same-sex parents diverge from different-sex norms—and from each other, r

Research by Penn sociologist Pilar Gonalons-Pons and others has shown that after a man and a woman have a child, the couple's relative share of paid and unpaid labor tends to change dramatically, with the father specializing in paid work and the mother in child care.

Researchers discover why fructose doesn't satisfy hunger like glucose

A new study found that fructose and glucose may look the same on a nutrition label, but the brain treats them very differently. In mice, glucose strongly reduced activity in hunger-promoting brain cells, while fructose had a much weaker effect. High-fructose corn syrup triggered

The bond between humans and dogs remains remarkably consistent across societies, cross-cul

A new study by an international research team led by Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Leipzig) has revealed striking similarities in the way humans and dogs interact in very different societies. The research is publish

Primate evolution kept aging rates stable for 25 million years despite lifespan gaps

Biologists group animals with similar traits into broad categories called orders. Despite their similarities, animal species in the same order can have very different average lifespans.

New driving model predicts split-second crash avoidance with humanlike accuracy

Scientists at Delft University of Technology, in collaboration with Waymo, have developed a new model that predicts with high accuracy how human drivers respond to dangerous traffic situations. For the first time, different types of collision avoidance behavior are combined into

Oxygen atoms in 15‑million‑year‑old giant eggshells reveal how plants reacted to a hotter

Some periods in Earth's history are so different from our own that they may as well belong to another planet. Many people are interested in the age of dinosaurs or the Ice Ages, but it is an intermediate world, the Miocene Epoch—a sort of "in-between" world, geologically speaking

Spiders benefit from seemingly monotonous forests

In ecology, the principle holds that the more diverse and heterogeneous a habitat is, the more different species it supports. To promote species diversity in forests, clearings are therefore created for nature conservation purposes, or deadwood is deliberately left in place. For

Q&A: What happens when warming streams push young salmon beyond their limits

As climate change warms rivers across British Columbia, young salmon are facing increasing heat stress at vulnerable stages of their lives. Two studies from UBC's Pacific Salmon Ecology and Conservation Lab have found that younger fish cope with heat differently than older fish a
