What are we really doing when we go online? New research suggests much of our digital activity is about regulating our own emotions.
Some countries no longer require you to remove your shoes when passing through security – but taking out your laptop is still mostly required.
Astronomers have detected the coldest star ever found to emit radio waves using the Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope.
For decades, construction companies have used fireproofing chemicals associated with risks to human health and the environment. We need safer alternatives.
Is it possible to ‘align’ AI systems to human interest? A new plan to build an AI system to solve this problem highlights the limits of the idea.
New findings suggest animal-mediated plant reproduction might have originated in the ocean.
Weaver ants organise themselves into bridges to cross gaps and explore new territory – and new research shows this collective behaviour is governed by a surprisingly simple decision-making rule.
Our new genomic research finally solves a 150 years of scientific mystery about the unusual and ancient pygmy right whale.
This caterpillar can cause excruciating pain when touched. But unlike most venomous arthropods, it uses its venom purely for self-defence.
Regardless of the input, AI image generators will have a tendency to return certain kinds of results. This is where the potential for bias arises.
Twitter activists played a key role in the robodebt scandal, driving social pressure to end the unlawful welfare scheme.
In the battle for Twitter’s followers, this may be the end game.
There’s no single reason many Asian animals spread to Australia but few went the other way – but climate, geography and the slow drift of tectonic plates all played a role.
One in ten people around the world live near an active volcano. Understanding the drivers of eruptions is crucial.
From jellyfish to genius, the amazing diversity of animal minds around us evolved through five major changes in the computational capacity of brains.
AI image generators can produce remarkable images in mere seconds. An expert explains why, despite this, they keep getting some things wrong.
Bright, flickering galaxies called quasars were thought to pose a problem for our understanding of the cosmos – but new research shows Einstein was right yet again.
There are areas of biology that may be considered optional at younger year levels, such as botany, entomology and marine ecosystems. Evolution is not one of these.
One person recently spent 100 days underwater. Another lived 500 days in a cave. What can we learn from such extreme experiences?
The internet can’t seem to agree on how many ‘types’ of narcissist there are. Some websites list as few three, while others list 14.
Neutrinos are some of nature’s most elusive particles, but new research has used them to create an image of our own galaxy.
By timing radio pulses from an array of galactic pulsars, scientists see hints of gravitational waves from supermassive black hole pairs in a breakthrough that may reveal hidden details of galaxy evolution.
The planet Halla looks like it should have been devoured by its host star, a red giant called Baekdu – but a secret in the star’s past may hold the answer to the planet’s present.
New deep-space discoveries suggest the Universe is lumpy and lopsided. But if matter is distributed unevenly, we’ll have to rethink the simple geometry used in cosmological models.
