For some psychologists, it's becoming more common to use AI systems to replace human thinking in research. That's a very risky choice based on misconceptions, warn Iris van Rooij and Olivia Guest in a new paper published today in Current Directions in Psychological Science. "Research based on artificial intelligence models will never be an adequate substitute for understanding and replicating human thought."
It's 2158, and you're chugging away on your Ph.D. in planetary volcanology from the University of Utopia Planitia on Mars. Graduate students still get paid a sub-living wage, so you've been stuck eating freeze-dried ramen for the past three years. You've completed studying Jupiter's moon Io, but now you have to leave the solar system for a good exoplanet analog. While Io's volcanism is caused by tidal heating, you need an exoplanet whose volcanism is caused by extreme heat from its host star. You recently secured funding from the Exoplanet Research Institute for a faster-than-light (FTL) ship, but the exoplanet is required to be less than 50 light-years away.
A fast-rising strep bacterium has become increasingly notorious for causing serious infections in humans, including complications that can lead to muscle damage and patient death. New Houston Methodist research published in The American Journal of Pathology sheds light on how Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) causes disease and may provide insights to aid vaccine development.
A public-private partnership in the Mountain West announced new results today that mark steady progress toward the Department of Energy's goal of fault-tolerant quantum computing, systems large and reliable enough to solve complex problems.
Astronomers have revealed new details about how young stars shape their galactic surroundings in a new study. Researchers analyzed about 18,000 star-forming regions in nearby spiral galaxies using data from powerful instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, whose observations were made as part of the PHANGS survey—a collaboration aimed at better understanding galactic evolution.
Removing criminal penalties for possessing cannabis for personal use, or introducing tightly controlled legalization of cannabis, does not appear to increase levels of cannabis use. However, the commercial sale of cannabis is linked to increased health risks, with large-scale for-profit markets—such as those seen in the U.S. and Canada—resulting in more potent products and higher rates of addiction.
New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, published in The Lancet Psychiatry, has found that people with psychosis experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can benefit from a trauma-focused therapy integrated with cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp).
The largest and longest clinical trial of its kind has found that resurfacing the kneecap during total knee replacement is likely to be the most cost-effective approach for patients and health care systems over the long term. Researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Aberdeen followed more than 1,700 patients for 20 years as part of the KAT (Knee Arthroplasty Trial) study, making it the longest randomized controlled trial ever conducted in knee orthopedics.
Physicians and researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute have developed an AI model that outperforms physicians in evaluating treatment response in pleural mesothelioma. Far more accurate than the current international standard criteria (RECIST), the model provides patients with greater certainty and tailored treatments. It changes how physicians assess tumors and could accelerate the development of new treatments by making clinical trials more reliable and efficient.
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University and Johns Hopkins University have identified genetic mutations that may explain why some people develop a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak in the spine. The findings, published in The Lancet Neurology, may lead to earlier diagnosis and more targeted treatments for the painful and often disabling condition.
NASA Wednesday announced a new public‑private partnership to advance Mars science by combining the agency’s scientific leadership with commercial innovation. Under this model, NASA will provide the Aeolus atmospheric‑science instrument payload suite, while Relativity Space supplies the spacecraft, rocket, and cruise operations necessary to deliver the instruments to Mars. This partnership reflects NASA’s growing commitment […]
A novel radiopharmaceutical therapy approach that targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP)—which is highly expressed in many types of cancer—is safe and effective for patients, according to a new study published in the June issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. In a study of nearly 90 patients with 21 different types of cancer, FAP-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy achieved objective responses in approximately two-thirds of patients and disease control in more than 80%.
Instead of going to stores to compare products, Americans have increasingly turned to watching online video reviews. As far back as a decade ago, 55% of Americans reported they'd watched online reviews of products, according to Pew Research. As of late 2024, Pew found 62% were relying on the video platform TikTok to view product reviews or recommendations.
Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when atomic nuclei smash into one another at nearly the speed of light. But even when the nuclei don't collide, interesting things can happen. In a new paper just published in Physical Review Letters, members of RHIC's STAR collaboration describe a new way to use near-miss collisions at RHIC to study what's going on inside the nucleus. The approach advances the reach of RHIC, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, into the next frontier in nuclear physics—a journey into the inner workings of the building blocks of matter.
University of Guelph research published in the journal publication Blood has uncovered a surprising weakness in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that a compound in a common skin care ingredient may be able to target.
At an international heritage symposium in Japan, I heard a word that stayed with me: "contaminated." The discussion concerned whether Indigenous peoples needed to be named explicitly in a new World Heritage framework. One argument was that Indigenous cultures had changed through contact, survival and adaptation, and therefore no longer required distinct recognition. I found that deeply troubling.
Adolescence is a critical stage when many lifelong challenges first emerge, including mental health difficulties.
Traditionally farmed landscapes can help produce food while also protecting nature and keeping cultural traditions alive. A research team led by the University of Göttingen recently examined Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) as defined and recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The researchers found that these landscapes can offer practical lessons for sustainable land use worldwide—but only if strategies are adapted to local people, environments and farming traditions. The results are published in Ecology & Society.
River experts say new satellite technology holds the promise of protecting water quality around the world.
After an episode of the popular TV medical drama "The Pitt" included a character from Freedom House Ambulance Service—the nation's first emergency medical service, which was staffed entirely by African Americans—awareness of these long-overlooked pioneers in prehospital care surged. That's according to a first-of-its-kind study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and published in American Journal of Health Promotion.
