Across much of human history, women and children have kept camps alive by transforming bitter, inedible plants into safe, calorie-rich meals when hunting failed.
A new analysis argues that this daily work of processing and cooking food helped…

Natural movement timing enhances ownership of robotic arms
Summary
When AI powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In this study, we used virtual reality to simulate a situation in which a…

Machine Learning Now Personalises Treatment Effects From Complex, Continuous Data
Scientists are increasingly focused on understanding how interventions impact individuals differently, yet disentangling these heterogeneous treatment effects remains difficult, particularly with complex, continuous data. Filippo Salmaso from…

Japanese Archipelago Was Once a Refuge for Cave Lions
Between 73,000 and 20,000 years ago (Late Pleistocene), the Japanese Archipelago was inhabited by cave lions (Panthera spelaea), according to a new genetic and proteomic analysis of fossilized felid remains previously attributed to tigers…

Supergiant Star Collapsed into Stellar-Mass Black Hole in Andromeda Galaxy
Using archival data from NASA’s NEOWISE mission along with data from other space and ground-based observatories, astronomers identified the clearest observational record yet of a massive star fading and vanishing into a black hole — an…

Two Vast ‘Blobs’ of Hot Rock Have Stabilized Earth’s Magnetic Field for Hundreds of Millions of Years
While we have sent probes billions of kilometers into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust.
Information about Earth’s deep interior comes mainly from geophysics…
