Gen Z scepticism towards AI is a wake-up call — universities must take it seriously

During this year’s graduation season, several ceremonies in the United States turned unexpectedly tense when speakers raised the topic of artificial intelligence. At the University of Arizona in Tucson, former chief executive of Google, Eric Schmidt, was booed while discussing AI and technological change. Speakers at the University of Central Florida in Orlando and Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro received similar treatment.

Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question

Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay energy of tellurium-104 (Te-104), an important step in answering a century-old question and understanding how hundreds of nuclei decay. The results are published in Nature. A particle determined to escape Professor...

Tabletop experiment helps reconcile fundamental physics

Tabletop experiment helps reconcile fundamental physics Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and her colleagues show how a tabletop experiment can bring together two bedrock physics theories that have never been fully reconciled. More than a century ago, Albert Einstein gave us the theory of general relativity, describing gravity in relation to space and...

The World Cup pitches are the result of years of engineering to find just the right grass

The World Cup pitches are the result of years of engineering to find just the right grass Andrew Zinin Lead Editor The World Cup pitches cover so much ground they'll be hard to ignore. The crews that put them there would prefer if fans didn't notice them at all. While it took a herculean effort to engineer the right grass for the different stadiums and to make sure it's in pristine condition for the duration of the tournament, the goal is that it never really attracts attention.

The Betrayal of Black Patriots

Photographs by Nate Langston PalmerDaniel “Chappie” James Jr. became commander of the Wheelus Air Base, near Tripoli, just after rebels under Muammar Qaddafi took control of Libya in a coup in 1969. In the midst of the insurgency, Qaddafi led an effort to break into the U.S. air base, but James managed to close the gate in time to prevent the young rebel from entering. The incident, which James recounted in a 1978 interview, would come to be the stuff of Air Force lore.

Stupid hot: Heat waves cause cognitive changes in animals, making them more aggressive and unable to complete basic tasks

Stupid hot: Heat waves cause cognitive changes in animals, making them more aggressive and unable to complete basic tasks As temperatures rise, some creatures pick fights while others struggle to learn. The consequences of these behavioral changes may ripple through ecosystems. On a blazing hot day in South Africa, female southern pied babblers can't think straight.
