androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-21 19:31:10

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR OpenAI is working on a dedicated “Study Together” mode to help users grasp concepts better. Study Together is likely to help break down concepts into simpler terms and follow up with quizzes for more engaged learning. It is being tested with both free and paid users, suggesting non-paying users might also have access when it launches. AI tools, such as ChatGPT, have accelerated learning by making concepts much easier to find and summarize. Now, OpenA

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-07-24 19:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary

For better or worse, the rise of ChatGPT as a writing tool, search engine, or conversational buddy has considerably changed how we communicate with each other and with technology. At the same time, ChatGPT’s widespread use has also sparked numerous online debates about whether it’s possible to spot AI-created content by looking at certain cues, like the em dash.

8 Foods With Microplastics Hidden in Them and How to Limit Your Consumption

It's official: Microplastics are in more than just fish. They seem to be in everything now, even mundane things like chewing gum. UCLA researchers found that microplastics are released directly into our mouths each time we chew a piece. In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. With something as common as chewing gum becoming a delivery system for microplastics, many people are concerned abou
