OpenAI Reportedly Planning to Launch AI Agents That Can Control Tasks on Computer
OpenAI is reportedly planning to release artificial intelligence (AI) agents that can operate tasks on computer systems. As per a report, the company has been working on several agent-related research projects, one of which is dubbed “Operator” which can execute multi-step actions on computers. The AI agents are said to be released in January 2...

Apple-Sized "Mystery Mollusk" Discovered In Ocean's Midnight Zone
It's named Bathydevius due to its "devious" nature that fooled the scientists at first, while caudactylus refers to the dactyls -- the fingerlike projections on its tail.

Russia Delays Key Science Projects: Everything You Need to Know
Russia has postponed its SKIF Photon Source, Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source modernisation, and neutron research expansion due to trade sanctions and budget issues. The sanctions restrict access to specialised equipment needed for these projects, now dependent on alternative sources. Officials remain optimistic about completing them by adjus...

Scientists Move Closer to Synthesising Element 120, Marking Potential New Era in Periodic Table
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California are exploring new techniques for creating superheavy elements, focusing on the potential synthesis of “element 120,” also called unbinilium. If successful, this addition could lead to an eighth row on the periodic table. Using ion bombardment, researchers demonstrated a process t...

Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Growing New Forests in Mexico Could Help Protect Oyamel Forests and Monarch Butterflies
An innovative project in central Mexico aims to protect oyamel fir forests, essential for the survival of migrating monarch butterflies. Led by Dr Cuauhtémoc Sáenz-Romero from the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, researchers are planting oyamel fir saplings at higher elevations to counteract the effects of climate change, which ...

New Project Aims to Relocate Oyamel Fir Trees to Protect Monarch Butterflies
An ambitious initiative in central Mexico is exploring the relocation of oyamel fir trees to secure the winter habitats of migrating monarch butterflies. Researchers have successfully planted hundreds of saplings at varying elevations to determine their survival rates in the face of climate change. With projections indicating a potential loss of oy...

Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new brain map of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster reveals nearly 140,000 neurons and over 54.5 million synapses. Led by neuroscientists Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, the research has uncovered 4,581 previously unknown types of neurons. The project took over four years to complete, relying on AI-assisted electron microscopy.

Japan Announces Plans to Build Zeta-Class Supercomputer, Said to Be 1,000 Times Faster Than Today’s Machines
Japan has announced plans to start constructing the world's first "zeta-class" supercomputer in 2025. Expected to be 1,000 times faster than today's leading supercomputers, the project is set to cost more than $750 million and be operational by 2030. The supercomputer will help Japan stay competitive in artificial intelligence (AI) advancements and...
