How AI is creating a UK super-museum and revealing our planet's history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers are using AI to create a vast digital museum of millions of specimens from collections across the UK that they say could "supercharge" our understanding of the natural world. People will eventually be able to see around 70 million animals, plants, fossils and rocks from their phones and computers. Robots and AI are being used to scan and analyse the specimens - some collected centuries ago - speeding up the digitisation process from hundreds of years to a decade. The new digital muse
How a fly brain may help explain the secrets of human behaviour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scientists have managed to compare the fine detail of the brains of male and female flies for the first time, identifying differences they say explain male aggression, courtship and their singing of love songs. The scientists in Cambridge mapped all 124 million connections of nerve cells in a male fly's brain, having done the same for a female fly two years ago. The team are clear that the research won't explain differences between men and women because our behaviour is far more complex. But the
SpaceX: What can scientists learn from a Falcon 9 rocket hitting the Moon? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A stray SpaceX rocket is believed to have crashed into the Moon, forming a crater near a famous lunar landmark and giving scientists a unique research opportunity that could help future missions. The empty upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket was due to strike the Moon near the Einstein crater at a speed of about 5,400mph (8,700km/h) on Wednesday. The short, dramatic flash it created would have been hard to catch by amateur astronomers even with high-end telescopes, but larger observatories in the A
Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Jodrell Bank Observatory, which has housed the UK's largest telescope for nearly 70 years, has lost its funding and could now close, the BBC understands. The observatory and its network of telescopes have been pivotal to the country's study of distant galaxies and training future astronomers. Scientists have described the decision as "heartbreaking" and "scientifically misguided". All scientific observations at Jodrell are expected to cease on the 1 April 2028 unless alternative funding can
The hidden cost of the night shift and how to sleep it off (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is four in the morning, and the ward is quiet. A resident doctor has been on her feet for nine hours. She is tired, her muscles are sore and her eyes are straining, but when her shift ends at six in the morning and she finally gets home, she struggles to sleep. Her internal clock, built over millions of years of evolution to tune human biology to the rising and setting of the Sun, is insisting it is morning. Time to wake up. Time to be alert. No amount of darkness, earplugs or blackout blinds
