New research reveals that intelligence plays a key role in how well people process speech in noisy environments. The study compared neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals and found that cognitive ability predicted performance across all groups. This challenges the idea that…
A massive coronal mass ejection erupted from the sun’s far side late on Oct. 21, 2025 and was captured by a NOAA coronagraph.
The U.S. economy is expected to see continued growth, although at a lower level than in recent years at 1.8%. But it could be buoyed by continued investments in artificial intelligence and the corresponding energy infrastructure supplying it, according to…
Space agencies around the world are planning moon missions that will depend on water ice for resources, but much remains unknown about its availability of water ice on the lunar surface.
When companies massage earnings reports to make profits look larger, do investors buy it? In some cases, they don’t. That’s the lesson from new research by John McInnis, professor of accounting at Texas McCombs.
“United we stand, divided we fall” doesn’t always work for auditing. Sometimes, it makes sense for an accounting firm to divide the load, such as when a multinational client has subsidiaries in other countries, where local auditors can provide specialized…
As the saying goes, “The customer is always right.” With the proliferation of artificial intelligence in consumer-facing roles, however, that may not always be so. Some customers have figured out how to game AI chatbots, exaggerating their complaints to get…
Japan’s new HTV-X cargo spacecraft will arrive at the International Space Station for the first time ever today (Oct. 28), and you can watch the action live.
Tohoku University researchers have found a way to make quantum sensors more sensitive by connecting superconducting qubits in optimized network patterns. These networks amplify faint signals possibly left by dark matter. The approach outperformed traditional methods even under realistic noise.…
Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from the dawn of the universe. By analyzing rare electron-positron emissions from atomic collisions, they determined precise temperatures at different phases of the plasma’s…
