The way we understand language and logic is changing, especially with the rise of AI technology. A new concept called "inferentialism" is challenging traditional views of logic that have been in place for centuries....

The world we live in today has been shaped by the history of horse domestication. In the past, horses played a vital role in society, being used for transportation, agriculture, and warfare. Scholars have...

Gábor Domokos, a mathematician, posed a simple question about the geometry of tilings, wondering how few corners a shape can have and still tile a surface without gaps or overlaps. This question led him...

Antibiotic resistance is a significant problem worldwide, making infections harder to treat. Researchers usually identify genes that cause bacteria to be resistant to antibiotics through lab experiments. However, this process can be time-consuming and...

In the movie Arrival, a linguist deciphers an alien language with palindromic phrases and circular symbols. Different nations interpret the messages differently, some assuming a threat. Research shows that AI can develop languages that...

Eating a cup of cocoa or drinking green tea might be more beneficial than you think, especially when it comes to combating the negative effects of fatty comfort foods during stressful times. Research indicates...

Scientists have created a new machine learning model called Evo that can understand and design genetic instructions. This model can predict the effects of genetic mutations and create new DNA sequences, although these sequences...

Generative artificial intelligence systems have been making waves in various fields, but a recent study has highlighted some concerning issues with large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus. Researchers from...

The article you read in the local newspaper was about a surprising experiment conducted by neuroscientists involving rats driving tiny cars. The researchers created the first rodent car using a plastic cereal container and...

A recent discovery in scientific 3D modeling has revealed that laser light can actually cast its own shadow, challenging conventional ideas about shadows. This surprising finding was published in the journal Optica on November...

New Article:A recent study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that immune cells produced during a severe COVID-19 infection could potentially lead to the shrinking of cancerous tumors. Researchers found that genetic...

A meteorite found in a university drawer in 1931 holds clues about ancient water on Mars, according to new research. The Lafayette meteorite, a small piece of glassy space rock, was discovered at Purdue...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious flashes of cosmic energy that occur across the sky, releasing as much energy in milliseconds as the sun does in a day. Scientists have long been puzzled by...

Cats are known for their various body language signals to communicate with other felines and humans. From arching their back in fear to kneading their paws to show affection, cats have a wide range...

Mathematics and physics are often thought of as two separate subjects, but the connection between the two is much deeper and more fascinating than most people realize. In a groundbreaking discovery, physicist Michael Berry...

Anna Von Mertens, a visual artist, has delved into the life and work of astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt in her book, "Attention Is Discovery." Leavitt, known as a "human computer," meticulously studied glass plate...

Tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are tiny creatures that have gained fame for their ability to survive in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. These microscopic animals have...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking method that could revolutionize the way computer chips function, making them operate more efficiently and mimic the human brain. By navigating the delicate balance between order and chaos, scientists...

Deep in the heart of the Milky Way lies a supermassive mystery - black holes. These gigantic ruptures in space-time have puzzled astrophysicists for years, especially with the recent discoveries made by the James...

Nature has a powerful impact on our mental health and overall well-being, as studies have shown. However, as our cities continue to expand, green spaces are disappearing, leading to negative effects on our health....

A mysterious volcanic comet known as 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann has recently experienced its largest outburst in over three years, according to researchers. This city-size comet, spanning around 37 miles across, has unleashed four major eruptions in...

The H5N1 bird flu virus has been making headlines this year, with nearly 50 cases reported in the U.S. so far. While the virus has caused only mild illnesses in humans, the Centers for...
