How to make insects more nutritious — and easier to swallow

Oct 25, 2024 | snexplores.org | Lillian Steenblik Hwang

Extracting protein from insect larvae could lead to a healthful food ingredient — and you never have to bite into crunchy legs or squishy bodies.
ChatGPT and other AI tools are full of hidden racial biases

Oct 17, 2024 | snexplores.org | Lillian Steenblik Hwang

In tests, AI programs would recommend people who use African American English for less prestigious jobs and harsher punishments for serious crime.

chemical: A substance formed from two or more atoms that unite (bond) in a fixed proportion and structure. For example, water is a chemical made when two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom. Its chemical formula is H2O. Chemical also can be an adjective to describe properties of materials that are the result of various reactions between different compounds. dinosaur: A term that means terrible lizard. These reptiles emerged around 243 million years ago.
Can light spark superconductivity? A new study reignites debate

Science News has partnered with Trusting News to gather feedback on the potential use of AI in journalism. Currently, we do not publish any content produced by generative AI (see our policy). We do want to hear your views on how Science News could use AI responsibly. Let us know by participating in a short 10 question survey. The previous research showed a temporary change in the reflectivity of cuprates, compounds containing copper and oxygen, when blasted with light.

50 years ago, superconductors were warming up

Superconductivity, the property by which certain metals lose all their electrical resistance, would be a grand thing to use technologically were it not for the extreme refrigeration necessary. Every superconductor has a transition temperature above which it becomes an ordinary conductor. Most transition temperatures are near absolute zero. [Scientists] are discovering metals with higher transition temperatures. Transition temperatures continue to creep upward.
