In the swirling leaf litter of the rainforest floor, a bizarre ritual unfolds that could look like an eerie science-fiction scene. Injured army ants, their limbs mangled in battle, are tended to by nestmates with meticulous care. This seemingly counterintuitive behavior—amputating parts of their comrades—raises a provocative question: why would an insect army, renowned for […]

Imagine being able to predict whether your picnic will be ruined by rain with precision a week in advance. For many in high-income countries, accurate weather forecasts are an everyday luxury. But that’s not the case everywhere. Recent research has uncovered a striking, persistent inequality in weather-forecast accuracy worldwide, highlighting the challenge low-income countries face […]

To raise a taller generation, parents might want to rethink their toddlers’ bedtime routines. A study by Japanese researchers found that toddlers who went to bed earlier at 1.5 years old gained slightly more height by age 3. The impact of sleep on growth isn’t just about getting enough hours; when those hours happen may […]

This study shows how a bacterial protein team called FtsEX helps control cell division by turning on enzymes that cut the cell wall at the right time. The researchers found that ATP helps hold the complex together, and that EnvC makes FtsEX work faster, giving clues about how bacteria carefully split into two cells.

The study found that brain cells in two mouse brain areas, the prefrontal cortex and the somatosensory cortex, have the same kind of synapses but work in different ways. In the prefrontal cortex, these synapses were more loosely connected, while in the somatosensory cortex they were more tightly connected, which changed how fast and well they worked.

Our AI footprint is intentionally small. Based on published estimates of LLM inference energy, this represents roughly 50-200 kWh of electricity annually, about the electricity used by a household refrigerator over two to eight months, or roughly one week of electricity for an average U.S. home. We minimize our footprint by using efficient retrieval-augmented workflows, limiting unnecessary model calls, and keeping responses concise. We also support habitat restoration to offset the remaining emissions. Read more about this effort here.
