[Academic Paper] Foundation metrics for evaluating effectiveness of healthcare conversations powered by generative AI - npj Digital Medicine (www.nature.com)
Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence is set to revolutionize healthcare delivery by transforming traditional patient care into a more personalized, efficient, and proactive process. Chatbots, serving as interactive conversational models, will probably drive this patient-centered transformation in healthcare. Through the...

Memories are made by breaking DNA — and fixing it (www.nature.com)
When a long-term memory forms, some brain cells experience a rush of electrical activity so strong that it snaps their DNA. Then, an inflammatory response kicks in, repairing this damage and helping to cement the memory, a study in mice shows....

Projected climate-driven changes in pollen emission season length and magnitude over the continental United States (www.nature.com)
These simulations indicate that increasing pollen and longer seasons will increase the likelihood of seasonal allergies.

Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory (www.nature.com)
We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years. And we need them quickly.
[Academic Paper] Risk and prosocial behavioural cues elicit human-like response patterns from AI chatbots - Scientific Reports (www.nature.com)
Abstract: Emotions, long deemed a distinctly human characteristic, guide a repertoire of behaviors, e.g., promoting risk-aversion under negative emotional states or generosity under positive ones. The question of whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can possess emotions remains elusive, chiefly due to the absence of an...

Ultra-fast green hydrogen production from municipal wastewater by an integrated forward osmosis-alkaline water electrolysis system (www.nature.com)
Green hydrogen production faces increased water risks due to scarce supplies of water. Here, authors develop a modular forward osmosis-water splitting system that utilises wastewater effluent to generate high-purity hydrogen, providing a sustainable solution for water and energy security.

An environmental analysis of public UAP sightings and sky view potential - Scientific Reports (www.nature.com)
Regardless of what people are seeing, and whether they are military pilots, civilian pilots, or general bystanders, there is a potential threat. That threat grows as our uncertainties grow. Although based on a noisy, crowd sourced dataset, our results can provide a context for how sighting reports of unidentified objects vary in...

Nature article suggests that we cannot afford the rich (www.nature.com)
Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.
