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,...
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...
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...
Lyme borreliosis: New approach for developing targeted therapy
