Understanding how our joints help modern humans walk upright could help us track the evolution of bipedalism and improve care for patients with foot problems.

Artificial intelligence technology is significantly changing the software development profession. According to Github, 1.2 million developers already rely on artificial intelligence technology to do their jobs. However, despite their knowledge about programming, many developers do not fully grasp the benefits that AI can bring to their profession. There are a number of reasons that they should consider using AI, such as taking advantage of low-code frameworks.

After the Big Bang, the universe expanded and cooled sufficiently for hydrogen atoms to form. In the absence of light from the first stars and galaxies, the universe entered a period known as the cosmic dark ages. The first stars and galaxies appeared several hundred million years later and began burning away the hydrogen fog left over from the Big Bang, rendering the universe transparent, like it is today.

Omsk hemorrhagic fever (OHF) is a rare viral disease primarily found in Western Siberia, Russia. The virus responsible for OHF belongs to the tick-borne flavivirus group and is transmitted through the bite of infected ticks ( Dermacentor reticulatus and Ixodes persulcatus ) or contact with sick muskrats. Although human cases are sporadic, notable outbreaks have occurred in 1945, 1953-54, and 1968.

New theoretical research has shown that Stephen Hawking was likely right about black holes, although not completely. Due to Hawking radiation, black holes will eventually evaporate, but the event horizon is not as crucial as had been believed. Gravity and the curvature of spacetime cause this radiation too. This means that all large objects in the universe, like the remnants of stars, will eventually evaporate.
