Monthly roundup: deepfake videos and AI, dark energy in the Universe, and women-hunters.
Hello,
This January, we have four new adapted scientific articles!
In How can humans and AI work together to detect deepfakes?, scientists tested whether the leading AI model or humans are better at identifying deepfakes on the internet.

We’ve created a fun introductory video for it:
How does dark energy affect galaxies? covers how scientists aimed to understand dark energy better by studying its impact on the Andromeda Galaxy.
#Astronomy #Physics #SpaceScience
Why are women hunters important? is about the role of women in foraging societies and their participation as hunters. It challenges the traditional paradigm of “man-the-hunter, woman-the-gatherer.”

Check out the video recap of that research in our new video series SJK Academy:
Finally, in What are the benefits of growing multiple crop species together?, researchers compared the technique of intercropping to sole cropping.
