Just one in 10 researchers at the prestigious University of Tokyo are women, and one in five students.

"AI's role in transforming how we do science cannot be underestimated," Elena Simperl, a professor at King's College London's informatics department said.

Biochemist David Baker, 62, was given half the award "for computational protein design", while Demis Hassabis and John Jumper shared the other half "for protein structure prediction," the jury said.

Some scientists are already hard at work seeking to create an AI colleague worthy of a Nobel, with this year's laureates to be announced between Oct. 7 and 14.

In a scene that sounds straight out of science fiction, the spacecraft deliberately crashed into the pyramid-sized asteroid Dimorphos in 2022, roughly 11 million kilometres (6.8 million miles) from Earth.

NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov boarded the ISS shortly after the Dragon capsule docked at the station at 2130 GMT, NASA said in a post on X.

The biggest real-life test of our planetary defences was carried out in 2022, when NASA's fridge-sized DART spacecraft smashed into a 160-metre (525-feet) wide asteroid, successfully knocking it well off course.

The genetic sequences were from a man and a woman whose remains were found at a rock shelter near the southern coastal town of George, about 370 kilometres (230 miles) east of Cape Town, said University of Cape Town (UCT) biological anthropology professor Victoria Gibbon. 

The generative AI has been trained on the books authored by President Hiroshi Nojima and his past remarks. When Nojima employees ask the program for advice on their computers or smartphones, the AI avatar answers on behalf of the president.

Nearly five years after Covid first emerged, the international community has not been able to determine with certainty exactly where the virus came from.

SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission hit a peak altitude of 1,400 kilometers, more than three times higher than the International Space Station, and the furthest humans had ever traveled from Earth since the Apollo missions to the Moon, and performed first ever spacewalk by non-government astronauts.

The tech giant has a lot riding on the new iPhone 16 and hopes that customers are enticed to buy the latest models, attracted by new AI powers.

After years of delays, Starliner launched in June for what was meant to be a roughly weeklong test mission -- a final shakedown before it could be certified to rotate crew to and from the orbital laboratory.

The person who tested positive for bird flu was the 14th to do so in the United States this year, and the first without known contact with animals.

According to the ESA, Salsa's return home will mark the first-ever "targeted" re-entry for a satellite, which means it will fall back to Earth at a specific time and place but will not be controlled as it re-enters the atmosphere.

Starliner autonomously undocked from the space station at 6:04 p.m. Eastern Time, and is set to land at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico at approximately 4:03 a.m. GMT

The US space agency is enlisting SpaceX to rescue the astronauts because of safety concerns with Boeing's Starliner capsule, which encountered thruster malfunctions and helium leaks on its way to the orbital outpost.

The one-meter space rock, named 2024 RW1, collided with the Earth's atmosphere shortly after midnight local time and caused a "harmless" but "spectacular fireball" over the Philippines' Luzon island.

Since the Kremlin invaded Ukraine in 2022, Telegram, which has over 900 million active users, has emerged as a crucial platform used by pro-war bloggers to justify Moscow's invasion and sow disinformation in Ukraine and the West.

The return of Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams had already been delayed for weeks by thruster malfunctions of the Boeing spacecraft, and NASA administrator Bill Nelson announced they will return to Earth in February, while Starliner will return uncrewed.

After years of Starliner development delays, the spacecraft finally lifted off in early June carrying Wilmore and Williams, both veteran astronauts, to the ISS, with NASA delayed indefinitely a plan to bring them back to Earth after eight days due to studied problems with the craft's propulsion system.

Eighteen of the 19 South American lungfish chromosomes, the threadlike structures that carry an organism's genomic information, are each individually larger than the entire human genome, according to researchers.

The messenger RNA method made its debut with the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, which was the first jab against Covid to be approved in the West in late 2020

To celebrate Indonesia’s Independence Day, PT Sasa Inti is showcasing the country’s rich and diverse culinary heritage by curating 17 traditional dishes from various regions across the archipelago.

These are a few of the most egregious examples of artificial intelligence that have recently made their way into scientific journals, shining a light on the wave of AI-generated text and images washing over the academic publishing industry.

Conditions of a level-four geomagnetic storm -- on a scale of five -- were observed Monday from 1500 GMT, according to a specialized center at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

That is the conclusion of scientists based on seismic data obtained by NASA's robotic InSight Lander during a mission that helped decipher the interior of Mars. The water, located about 7.2 to 12.4 miles (11.5 to 20 km) below the Martian surface, potentially offers conditions favorable to sustain microbial life, either in the past or now, the researchers said.

A few of the most egregious examples of artificial intelligence have recently made their way into scientific journals, shining a light on the wave of AI-generated text and images washing over the academic publishing industry.

Prior to Roskomnadzor's announcement that it had taken action, hundreds of Signal users reported glitches with the messenger app, a secure communications tool used by up to a million Russians to encrypt messages and conversations.

Scientists on Tuesday announced the discovery of this incomplete humerus—missing both of its ends—as well as two fossilized teeth from Mata Menge in the So'a Basin of Flores, where the volcano Mount Ebulobo looms over the landscape.
