Adapting GenAI for the next generation of learning
A new study by learning analytics researchers presents key considerations for generative AI (GenAI) educational tools so they are carefully developed to support, rather...
Risk of cardiovascular disease linked to long-term exposure to arsenic in community water supplies
Long-term exposure to arsenic in water may increase cardiovascular risk and especially heart disease risk even at exposure levels below the federal regulatory limit,...
Listening skills bring human-like touch to robots
Researchers give robots a sense of touch by 'listening' to vibrations, allowing them to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects just like human...
Ethical framework aims to counter risks of geoengineering research
A new report says any research into large-scale interventions in Earth's climate system must be grounded in sound ethical principles so society can make...
Femtosecond-fieldoscopy accesses molecules fingerprints at near-infrared spectral range
In a breakthrough that could revolutionize biomarker detection, researchers have developed a novel technique called 'femtosecond-fieldoscopy'. This method enables the precise measurement of minute...
New method for producing innovative 3D molecules
Chemists have synthesized so-called heteroatom-substituted cage-like 3D molecules. The innovative structures are created by precisely inserting a triatomic unit into the strained ring of...
Birth: It’s a tight squeeze for chimpanzees, too
According to a new study, chimpanzees, like humans, must contend with a confined bony birth canal when giving birth. In humans, the problem was...
Lyme borreliosis: New approach for developing targeted therapy
Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne infectious disease in Europe. Up to 70,000 new cases are estimated each year in Austria alone. The...
Safety and security: Study shines light on factors behind refugees’ resilience
A systematic review has identified several strong protective and promotive factors that are associated with better mental health outcomes among refugee adults.
Thread-like, flexible thermoelectric materials applicable for extreme environments
