This study unravels a concerning capability in Large Language Models (LLMs): the ability to understand and induce deception strategies. As LLMs like GPT-4 intertwine with human communication, aligning ...

The study of animal behavior seeks to understand how and why animals do what they do. This pursuit of general principles governing behavior across species can be approached by first understanding when ...

Fifty years ago, bacteria were identified as remarkable ice nucleators that enable water freezing close to 0 °C. Their record-holding activity is key for frost damage to crops and snow making. While ...

The increasing frequency and intensity of droughts in the Amazon rainforest raises concerns about potential forest dieback. However, the precise role of drought occurrences in this phenomenon remains ...

Using data from 100 healthy young participants studied during a 9-d inpatient protocol, we constructed analytic action spectra for melatonin suppression and circadian phase resetting in response to ...

Lithium metal batteries are considered as the highly promising candidates for new-generation energy storage systems while the poor cycling stability originated from unstable anodes strongly limit ...

Plant multitrophic interactions are extremely complex, and the underlying mechanisms are not easy to unravel. Using tomato plants as a model system, we demonstrated that a soil fungus, Trichoderma ...

Astronomically forced climate change is recorded in the Earth’s cyclic sedimentary record (“cyclostratigraphy”). These records can inform on past dynamics of the Solar system and Earth rotation. Here, ...

S-palmitoylation is a lipid posttranslational modification process involved in diverse cellular events in a wide range of biological systems. It has remained unclear whether S-palmitoylation has a ...

As quantitative targets for day- and night-time light exposure and avoidance start to appear, there is a need for descriptions of existing patterns of light exposure in human populations and their ...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a key driver of tumor relapse and metastasis, leading to poor clinical outcomes. A key current challenge is finding ways to eradicate them and suppress their ...

In order to explain a physically counterintuitive experimental finding that chromatin mobility is reduced during transcription, we introduced a polymer model for interphase chromosome that accounts ...
