How do capital markets respond when firms in traditional industries integrate AI and advanced analytics (AIAA)? Having analysed stock market reactions to 397 announcements by biopharmaceutical firms between 2001 and 2020, Michael Freeman and […]
Independent creative workers, from visual artists to musicians, need to achieve widespread appeal. But once they do, managing the relationship with their audience is the next challenge. In a study of independent […]
Is range anxiety still the main factor limiting EV adoption? Charge anxiety seems to have taken over. It arises from five factors: Anton S. Ovchinnikov and his collaborator present three empirically grounded analytical models, […]
How frequent are large disagreements in human judgement? Miguel Sousa Lobo and his co-author found that the frequency with which an individual judgement differs substantially from the consensus looks less like a bell curve […]
UC Berkeley and Caltech researchers tracked down genes that help zebrafish regenerate injured heart muscle. Can CRISPR activate this circuit in humans with heart disease? Humans can’t regenerate heart muscle damaged by […]
Decoding a lost English legend, solving a Chaucerian mystery, and revealing a medieval preacher’s meme A medieval literary puzzle which has stumped scholars including M.R. James for 130 years has finally been solved. […]
Months after withdrawal, brain activity during decision-making remained impaired in rats For the first time, researchers demonstrated in an animal how heavy alcohol use leads to long-term behavioral issues by damaging brain […]
The University of Oxford’s Department of Materials celebrated a new chapter in its microscopy facilities with the arrival of a bespoke £3 million Transmission Electron Microscope. The JEOL GrandARM300F instrument will support […]

Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is ‘eating’ its host galaxy to death. The international team, led by […]
The advance makes it easier to detect circulating tumor DNA in blood samples, which could enable earlier cancer diagnosis and help guide treatment. Tumors constantly shed DNA from dying cells, which briefly […]
New insights into how proton-coupled electron transfers occur at an electrode could help researchers design more efficient fuel cells and electrolyzers. A key chemical reaction — in which the movement of protons […]
