Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed an evaluation method for measuring and classifying trace element concentrations in the semen and blood serum of male patients with subfertility. This method demonstrated that the pregnancy rate was highest in the group with low phosphorus and arsenic concentrations and high concentrations of other trace elements. Thus, this method could be a novel approach for evaluating subfertility that does not rely solely on sperm concentration and motility.

A new book has outlined why public institutions should recognise a new human right to free internet access and what such a right could look like. A new book has outlined why public institutions should recognise a new human right to free internet access and what such a right could look like.

Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.

University of Washington researchers developed a system for detecting subtle biases in AI models. They found seven of the eight popular AI models they tested in conversations around race and caste generated significant amounts of biased text in interactions — particularly when discussing caste. Open-source models fared far worse than two proprietary ChatGPT models.

Chemists have developed a novel way to capture and convert carbon dioxide into methane, suggesting that future gas emissions could be converted into an alternative fuel using electricity from renewable sources.
