Credit: bpawesome/Getty Replication of experimental results is important for building credible science, but replication studies are often difficult to find. A team of researchers wants to change that. They have begun publishing replication studies on the peer review platform PubPeer, along with links to the original studies. There have been numerous attempts to replicate scientific

Credit: Denis Borisov/Getty Researchers are increasingly using autonomous AI agents for data interpretation. The accuracy of this analysis depends on the data sets available to these programs, and a new study documents how easy it is for scammers to “poison” these resources by uploading manipulated data sets that closely resemble the originals but lead to

Mitochondria (green in this false-color transmission electron micrograph) may play a role in the physiological effects of microgravity.Credit: José Calvo/Scientific Photography Library Researchers have found that exposure to microgravity aboard the International Space Station causes mitochondria in human cells and worms to produce fewer proteins. The work also identified a previously unknown molecular pathway that
