Researchers from Japan’s Osaka University published a new study examining the relationship between sex cells, aging and sex. They found that vitamin D extends lifespan in fish, a result that will likely translate to other vertebrates, including humans. Dr. Tohru Ishitani, a researcher on the study of Nothobranchius furzeri (also known as killifish), said Newsweek … Read more
What is gravity without mass? Both Newton’s revolutionary laws describing its universal effect and Einstein’s proposal of a dimpled space-time have led us to think of gravity as falling solely within the domain of matter. Now a wild new study suggests that gravity can exist without mass, easily eliminating the need for one of the … Read more
The Pleistocene Epoch – with its glaciers, woolly mammoths and Neanderthals – still looms large in Earth’s rearview mirror, having ended just 12,000 years ago. Now a team of researchers proposes that those hundreds of thousands of years of our planet’s history may have been cold due to a cloud in space that briefly removed … Read more

Strange behavior in a huge cluster of merging galaxies could be explained if dark matter, the universe’s most mysterious stuff, can collide with itself. However, the most favored model of cosmology at the moment is the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model – and it suggests that dark matter, which is effectively invisible because it does … Read more

DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevC.109.055501 The search for the elusive neutrino takes many forms. Detectors consisting of many tons of gallium are used in various experiments because neutrino interactions can occur on the stable gallium-71 (71Ga) nucleus and transform … Read more

Computer scientists have discovered this artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots and large language models (LLMs) can unintentionally breed Nazism, sexism and racism in their conversation partners. When asked to show empathy, these conversation agents do so with great regularity, even when the people using them are self-described Nazis. Furthermore, the chatbots did nothing to challenge the … Read more
