Most of the public discourse around artificial intelligence (AI) policy focuses on one of two perspectives: how the government can support AI innovation, and how the government can deter its harmful or negligent use. Yet there can also be a role for government in making it easier to use AI beneficially—in this niche, the National… Source:www.brookings.edu Original Image Link

Science News Video: Mom’s powerful friends keep high-ranking hyenas on top
In hyenas as well as humans, it pays to be born to high-ranking parents. A new study reveals how power is passed down in these matriarchal mammals: Elite hyena cubs cultivate their mom’s friends, who help keep them fed and protected throughout their lives.

In 2016, the residents of Isle de Jean Charles, a small strip of land off the coast of Louisiana, received a $48 million grant to relocate their entire community. Faced with sea level rise and rapid erosion, many made the decision to seek higher ground. Communities around the world—from Miami to Mumbai—will have to grapple with similar choices. Watch to learn how researchers approach climate-induced relocation and read more about the topic in Science’s special issue.

Two hundred meters under the sunny waves of the ocean lies the mesopelagic zone, a cold, dark section of water where humans rarely venture. This area, dubbed the “twilight zone” houses animals like krill, squid, and jellyfish.
Twilight zone animals play a major part in the carbon cycle, bringing organic carbon from surface waters and trapping them deep beneath the tides. But these shy creatures are delicate and hard to observe, making it nearly impossible to trace their movements, let alone their impact on the Earth’s climate.
Enter Mesobot. This autonomous underwater robot weighs in at just over 550 pounds, with a black and yellow tank-like exterior. It can track a single organism for over a day without human intervention, relying on a long-lasting battery and advanced tracking algorithms to follow creatures on their daily commutes. With an array of sensors and a high-definition camera, Mesobot could help scientists learn about this mysterious ocean area—and the creatures it contains.

When it comes to our senses, we frequently focus on the external—the crack of thunder, the glare of sunlight, the fragrance of flowers—that captured our attention in the first place. But our bodies also have a whole host of internal senses that tell our brains whether our hearts are beating at the right speed, for example, or whether our blood pressure is too high. These signals travel constantly via hormones and nerves, including a mysterious 100,000-fiber network called the vagus nerve.
Now, new techniques are helping scientists map the thin, twisting branches of the vagus nerve—which connects the brain to the heart, intestines, and other internal organs—and make surprising discoveries about its role in memory and emotion.

Many species of mantis shrimp rely on their incredible punching abilities to stun their prey. But it turns out they don’t have to be mature mantis shrimp to start getting their punch on. And baby Philippine mantis shrimp can punch nearly as quickly as the adults!

Science News Video: How do you measure the age of a star? | Science News
Humans have been observing stars for centuries, but the methods scientists have to calculate a star’s age aren’t as exact as you’d think. Here we walk through three strategies: Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams, rotation rates and asteroseismology.

Normally, cilia move in synchronized waves to push mucus away from the lungs, toward the throat where foreign objects are swallowed. But coronavirus-infected cells lose those cilia and no longer push mucus, eliminating a barrier that would normally help prevent the virus from invading the lungs. Here microscopic beads move around the surface of uninfected lab-grown cells first and then around infected cells, illustrating mucus movement. The colored lines show how fast the beads are moving, with blue indicating slower speeds and red noting faster speeds.

Winter on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a hard time for pikas. Temperatures fall below –30° Celsius and food becomes scarce. But in areas where yak and pika overlap, these rabbitlike mammals survive through winter on yak feces. Scientists think the danger of picking up parasites or pathogens from eating poo are outweighed by the benefits of having an abundant, easily digestible source of food when times get tough.

China's first astronaut gets a haunting experience as he hears an eerie knocking on the outside of his spaceship's door. There are no faults with his craft, so is he imagining it, or is there someone, or something, on the outside knocking to get in?

FBI agents in Blackhawk helicopters swoop on the Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico and close the facility down for ten days. They claim this drastic action was taken because of an employee misusing the internet, but others suspect there is a more frightening reason for the mysterious lockdown, linked to the facilities' observations of our deadly neighbor: the Sun.
