Are some researchers using too much artificial intelligence (AI) in their scientific papers? Experts say that “fingerprints” of generative AI (GenAI) can be found in an increasing number of studies. A recent preprint paper, which hasn’t been peer-reviewed yet, estimated that at least 60,000 papers were probably “polished” using AI in some way by analysing the writing style. “It's not to say that we knew how much LLM [large language model] work was involved in them, but certainly, these are immensely high shifts overnight,” Andrew Gray, a librarian at University College London, told Euronews Ne...

A series of measures taken by China to curb sedentary behaviour among children in the country have been successful, a new study by British scientists has shown. The measures include restrictions on online gaming companies targeting a young demographic, limitations on the amount of homework teachers can assign, and curtailment of lesson schedules of private tuition businesses. As a result, there has been a notable decline in both the overall duration of sedentary time and the length of various sedentary activities. According to the latest research, these interventions are linked to a 13.8 per c...

When it comes to pain, stereotypes relating to sex and gender tend to come into play. But, is a male's threshold really higher than a female's? Are women really more sensitive than men? These are some of the questions the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) hopes to answer by the end of 2024 with new research. Its goal is to tackle, understand, and create awareness of the disparities between sex and gender in relation to pain, which it defines as an "unpleasant sensory and emotional experience". According to the World Health Organistion (WHO), sex refers to "the different bi...

Korea’s “artificial sun” broke its own record during a plasma operation in which temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius were supported for 48 seconds, a promising new step toward nuclear fusion. The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research or KSTAR had previously set a record of reaching 100 million degree plasma for 30 seconds in 2021, the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) said in a statement. Nuclear fusion happens when two light atoms’ nuclei merge to form a single heavier one, generating a huge release of energy. This phenomenon powers stars, including the sun, which is wh...

Every year, as 22 March rolls around, many in Europe and across the globe anticipate World Water Day with mixed feelings. While the previous 365 days have almost always seen some advancement in the role and status of women protecting freshwater globally, the day also provides a moment to reflect on where we go from here. While leading an annual program that seeks to empower early-career African women in freshwater science, I have many thoughts on the topic. When it comes to the status of women in STEM, the picture is complex, sometimes confusing, at times concerning, but ultimately hopeful. UN...
