A major part of NASA’s nearly complete Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope just passed a lengthy thermal test to ensure it will function properly in the space environment.
For social animals, communication is a key that unlocks the benefits of group living. It’s well known that animals with more complex social lives tend to have more intricate ways of communicating, from the clicks and whistles of dolphins to the calls of primates. While this pattern is found broadly in many species, a new study on wild parrots drills deep into the social and vocal lives of individual birds. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) analyzing the social networks of monk parakeets in Spain have uncovered how an individual’s social ties shapes the calls these birds make.
In a world-first study, an artificial intelligence (AI) model is being trained on a set of NHS data for 57 million people in England, from which personal information has been stripped away. The pilot study is being run by researchers at University College London (UCL) and King’s College London (King’s). The model could transform patient care, identifying opportunities where early interventions might significantly improve or save lives.
