One theory regarding the origin of life on Earth suggests that comets brought the molecular building blocks necessary for life to develop. Now, a team led by the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) is questioning this possibility. Using computer simulations focusing on hydrogen cyanide — an important prebiotic compound — they estimate that, whilst the possibility of such molecules arriving and surviving intact cannot be completely ruled out, the event would be extremely unlikely. “It’s quite a romantic idea, but our results suggest it is highly improbable,” the authors note in a press release. The study is published in Scientific Reports.
A Cochrane review suggests that ergonomic adjustments — such as the use of furniture or tools designed to prevent injuries — do not provide any significant benefit in the treatment of work-related discomfort in the arm, neck or shoulder once these symptoms have already developed. The review analysed 20 trials, involving a total of 2,478 people with this type of work-related discomfort.
A study led by the CSIC, which has analysed more than four million records of wild bees and hoverflies — known as flower flies — in Europe over the last century, shows that the majority of bee species and approximately half of the hoverfly species have experienced a decline. The study, published in PNAS, covers data on 88 per cent of these species and highlights that, by region, there were declines in the Atlantic and continental zones for both groups of pollinators, whilst recent increases were observed in the Alpine region in the case of bees.
Although menopause is a part of the lives of millions of women—accounting for about one-third of their lives in total—it remains one of the least-studied stages of women’s health. With up to 72 associated symptoms, there are still many unanswered questions about many of them and the impact of treatments. We spoke with experts to find out which questions remain unanswered.
Currently, weather forecasts become less accurate as the lead time increases, especially beyond two weeks. A study published in the journal Nature presents a machine learning method that corrects errors in existing weather models and improves forecasts for a period of two to six weeks. When applied to an artificial intelligence model from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the method doubled its predictive capability. It also improved the prediction of extreme weather events, such as floods and cold snaps. According to the article, these advances could help improve agricultural planning, energy management, and disaster preparedness.
A Google DeepMind team has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) system based on large language models capable of autonomously tackling select mathematical problems. The tool, called AlphaProof Nexus, searches for proofs and employs verification processes to ensure the resulting solutions are logically sound. According to the study published in Science, AlphaProof Nexus has successfully solved several previously unsolved problems, including nine of the 353 Erdős problems.
Some molecules, such as amino acids, exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other. However, living organisms contain only one of these mirror images. For a long time, the origin of this chemical asymmetry was a mystery to chemists. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of nonlinear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis,” which provided the solution to this enigma.
Various studies have shown that smokers have a lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, but the causes remain unknown. A study has analysed the role played by carbon monoxide — a toxic gas produced by the combustion of tobacco — in this association. To this end, the team conducted a twelve-year follow-up study of more than half a million adults in China. The results show that regular smoking was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, ischaemic heart disease, stroke and all-cause mortality, but with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease. Most strikingly, amongst people who had never smoked, higher levels of exhaled carbon monoxide—which the authors measured—were associated with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease. According to the study, published in JAMA Neurology, these findings demonstrate a possible protective role of carbon monoxide in the disease, rather than smoking itself.
Summer holidays in Spanish schools are amongst the longest in Europe, and every year the debate resurfaces as to whether their length is appropriate or excessive. Do they affect the knowledge and skills acquired? Could they have an impact on well-being? Do they affect all children equally? How could the summer months be improved for children and teenagers?
OpenAI has stated in a press release that the internal version of its Astra AI model has found solutions to ten research problems in mathematics and computing, in areas such as geometry, group theory, operator algebras, quantum complexity, cryptography and combinatorics, amongst others. According to the company, the total number of tokens — basic units of information — required to solve these problems would cost around $2,000. OpenAI expresses “deep respect and understanding” for those concerned about the impact of AI on these disciplines, including the signatories of the Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics; and states that the attribution of results must honestly reflect how each one was obtained, whilst encouraging the mathematical community to review them. The company is publishing these results openly in a paper, accompanied by the model’s account of its reasoning process.
