Physics theory could be slam dunk for basketball coaches

A physics theory that’s proven useful to predict the crowd behavior of molecules and fruit flies also seems to work in a very different context – a basketball court.

AI- or human-written language? Assumptions mislead

Human assumptions regarding language usage can lead to flawed judgments of whether language was AI- or human-generated, Cornell Tech and Stanford researchers found in a series of experiments.

‘Wrinkles’ in time experience linked to heartbeat

New Cornell psychology research finds that our moment-to-moment experience of time is synchronized with, and changes with, the length of a heartbeat.
