Climate misinformation has become a significant challenge in the fight against climate change. Conversational AI chatbots are making it harder to distinguish falsehoods from real science, but climate experts are using the same tools to detect fake information online. Researchers have found that general-purpose large language models lag behind models specifically trained on expert-curated climate…
A recent trend on social media has highlighted a concerning new feature in ChatGPT, where users are using the AI model to reverse-engineer location information from images. This capability, made possible by the latest AI models o3 and o4-mini, has sparked concerns about potential misuse and privacy issues. The trend has shown that even older…
Researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have successfully created the first two-dimensional (2D) sheets of metal, a breakthrough that could lead to the development of novel electronic devices and a deeper understanding of quantum physics. The team used a technique called vdW squeezing to melt and compress pure metal…
A remarkable discovery has been made off the coast of Taiwan, where a fossilized jawbone has been identified as belonging to the Denisovans, an ancient human group first discovered in Siberia. The finding, published in the journal Science, reveals that the Denisovans inhabited warmer climates beyond their previously known high-altitude regions. The researchers extracted ancient…

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a potential dark galaxy in the local universe. The clump of gas, located 900,000 light-years from Earth, may be a dark galaxy, a theoretical system composed primarily of dark matter. While some experts are skeptical about the findings, the discovery could help refine our understanding of galaxy formation…
Nintendo has announced that preorders for the Switch 2 console will open on April 24, following a delay due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Despite concerns that the tariffs would lead to a price increase for the console, Nintendo confirmed that the Switch 2 will still cost $449.99. However, Switch 2 accessories will…
Physicists in Germany and France have proposed an experiment that could revolutionize our understanding of high-temperature superconductivity. The experiment involves trapping atoms on a two-layered laser grid, which could help scientists study the mechanism behind this phenomenon. This breakthrough could lead to a deeper understanding of macroscopic quantum phenomena in many-body systems. Forecast for 6…
A global mental health crisis has been identified among researchers, with depression and anxiety particularly prevalent among early-career academics.
