A recent study published in National Science Review has revealed silicate magma can store far more oxygen than its chemically allows. In high-pressure experiments, silicate melt can store up to about 5 wt.% excess oxygen, which is released as the magma rising. The findings suggest that oxygen-rich magmas could carry oxidizing power from Earth’s interior toward the surface, and may explain links between large-scale magmatism episodes and atmospheric oxidation in Earth’s history.

Human–AI collaboration is widely seen as the work model of the future: The expectation is that together, humans and AI will be more productive than either working alone. Yet the research to date seemed to tell a different story: On average, human–AI teams did less well than the better of the two alone. A reanalysis led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development now suggests this verdict was overly pessimistic. 

A bioinspired bead-on-string Ag/AgCl heterostructure for stable ion-electron transduction in stretchable dry electrodes is developed, opening a route to long-term, high-fidelity wearable electrophysiological monitoring and personalized hands-free human-machine interaction.
