Here the authors investigated whether frequent use of generative AI tools triggers upward social comparison and negatively impacts users' performance self-esteem. Based on a survey of 121 adults, they found no significant relationship between AI usage and self-esteem, concluding that current chatbot interactions do not pose the same psychological threat as peer-based comparisons.

The authors test the effect of insecticide exposure on mouse neurodevelopment.

This study examined whether findings from laboratory studies of baseball cognition also apply during real games. Using 2024 MLB data from 30 players, researchers analyzed batting performance under different levels of feedback and anxiety.

The authors used a particle-in-cell simulation to determine the effects on extensive and intensive metrics. They found that preliminary simulations could be run quickly with much lower particle counts before more technically demanding and comprehensive simulations are performed.

The study developed Loving Words, a free AI-powered poetry tutor designed to help writers improve their poetry and experience its therapeutic benefits. Two groups of participants wrote poems—one without assistance and one using Loving Words.

The authors looked at the correlation between being able to speak more than one language (multilingualism) and visual imagery. They found multilingual individuals had higher visual imagery as measured by the VVIQ.

Building on previous work by earlier astronomers, the authors investigate the correlation between the density and size of celestial objects in the universe, including neutron stars, galaxies, and galaxy clusters.

COVID-19 has officially been downgraded from the status of a global health emergency, but have COVID-19 safety practices become a new way of life for students? The authors collected survey data on COVID-19-related knowledge and behaviors of high-school students in Punjab, Pakistan and Santa Clara County, California, USA, so see where high-schoolers stand on pandemic safety today.

Here, seeking to identify a possible explanation for the more frequent diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in males than females, they sought to investigate a potential sex bias in the expression of ASD-associated genes. Based on their analysis, they identified 17 ASD-associated candidate genes that showed stronger collective sex-dependent expression.

This study explored the various effects of three different produce-based biofertilizers on pea plant growth, using red apple, pear, strawberry, and control treatments. It was hypothesized that the application of fruit biomatter would increase the growth of pea plants, with the application of strawberry biomatter having the most significant effect due to strawberries containing a higher nutrient content compared to pears and apples. Analysis confirmed the hypothesis. The application of strawberry biomatter could prove to be an effective way to increase plant growth in commercial agriculture.
