AI can help students learn better when used creatively, say educators

phys.org

The vast majority of students now use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) programs on a regular basis. Can teachers get students past the principle of least effort and turn these programs into educational tools?

Communication complexity, once thought to be uniquely human, discovered in orangutans

phys.org

In work from the University of Warwick, researchers have found that wild orangutans vocalize with a layered complexity previously thought to be unique to human communication, suggesting a much older evolutionary origin.

Laser ultrasound used to reveal the elasticity of space rock for the first time

phys.org

Scientists and engineers at the University of Nottingham have measured the stiffness of space rock for the first time. Many meteorites are made of crystalline materials, formed under exotic conditions that cannot be replicated on Earth.…
