What are the physics of life? That is more than just a philosophical question - it has practical implications for our search for life elsewhere in the galaxy. We know what Earth life looks like, on a number of levels, but finding it on another planet could require us to redefine what we even mean by life itself. A new paper from Stuart Bartlett of Cal Tech and his co-authors provides a new framework for how life could be defined that could reach beyond just what we understand from our one Pale Blue Dot.

These are worlds in the "habitable zone" where liquid water could exist and may be the key to answering questions about whether life exists beyond Earth.
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A new study reveals that four wild cat species living in the same rainforest habitat in Guatemala reduce competition for food by hunting in different vertical zones, some in trees and others on the ground.Researchers from Oregon State University and the Wildlife Conservation Society of Guatemala used trail camera footage and DNA analysis of scat to study jaguars, pumas, ocelots and margays in the Maya Biosphere Reserve. They found that jaguars and ocelots primarily hunted ground-dwelling prey, while pumas and margays more frequently consumed animals that live in trees.Among the most surprising findings: Central American spider monkeys and black howler monkeys were the primary prey of pumas, contributing more than twice as much to their diet as red and gray brocket deer and ocelots made up 10% of jaguars’ diet and 2% of pumas’ diet.“This research challenges long-held assumptions about how large carnivores coexist without competitively excluding each other and highlights the importance of vertical foraging stratification,” said Ellen Dymit, a doctoral researcher at Oregon State University. “As habitat loss and climate change reshape ecosystems, understanding how predators partition resources will be critical for conservation.”A central question in ecology is how similar species share the same environment. Theory suggests they must divide their resource use along one or more niche axes — space, time or diet — to reduce competition.While interactions among large carnivores are well studied in African savannas, few studies have explored these dynamics in rainforests, where vertical space plays a larger role. Evidence shows that wild cats hunt both terrestrially, or on the ground, and arboreally, or in trees, but this study is among the first to quantify that behavior in terms of diet composition.The research took place in remote protected areas within the Maya Biosphere Reserve, a subtropical forest spanning more than 8,000 square miles in Guatemala, Belize and Mexico. Some field sites required up to eight hours of ATV travel to access.To evaluate how the four cat species used the habitat, Dymit and the research team used camera trap footage from trails and in the canopy to study where the animals were and at what time, and scat samples to understand what they were eating.They analyzed 215 scat samples, 156 of which were collected by field crews and 59 by two dogs, Barley and Niffler, who are trained to detect scat. The scat was taken back to the lab of Taal Levi at Oregon State, where Dymit works, and through a process known as DNA metabarcoding, the researchers determined what the cats had eaten. Among their findings:Jaguars primarily consumed pig-like peccaries and nine-banded armadillos, and to a lesser extent ocelots and brown brocket deer.The main prey for pumas were monkeys, followed by brocket deer, peccaries and lowland pacas, which are relatively large rodents.Ocelots primarily consumed small-to medium-sized mammals, with large opossums, small opossums and Gaumer’s spiky pocket mouse occurring at the highest proportions.Margay scats contained mice, small arboreal opossums, large opossums and rats.The diet of each cat contained different numbers of unique prey species: jaguar, at least 20; puma, 27; ocelot, 25; and margay, 7.Researchers didn’t capture any video of pumas in trees in this study and are not certain how pumas hunt monkeys and tree-based mammals, but puma hunting behavior in the canopy has been documented elsewhere.One possibility is that pumas target monkeys and other arboreal animals when they descend to the ground to forage or drink. However, the relatively high frequency of monkeys in the diet of pumas, the near absence of monkeys from the diet of jaguars and ocelots, and the absence of video of monkeys at water holes suggest that pumas may be hunting in the lower canopy, the researchers note.The researchers believe pumas may have the ability to forage in trees because they weigh less than jaguars. Also, the enhanced bite force of jaguars likely facilitates their consumption of hard-bodied armadillos.The researchers analyzed footage from 55 cameras on the ground and 30 in the canopy, at an average of 40 feet in the trees. Those cameras were set up by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society of Guatemala, who are focused on protecting the Central American scarlet macaw parrot and leading other conservation-focused research projects.They captured 1,550 independent detections of jaguars, 1,482 of pumas, 1,378 of ocelots and 188 of margays. Of the margay detections, 156 were at ground level and 32 were in the canopy. Jaguar, puma and ocelot were only detected at ground level. The footage showed that pumas and jaguars had similar activity patterns in terms of time and space on the landscape, as did ocelots and margays.Co-authors of the paper are: Dymit, Levi, Joshua Twining, Jennifer Allen, of Oregon State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, and Rony Garcia-Anleu of the Wildlife Conservation Society of Guatemala.

When treating strokes, every second counts. But for patients in remote areas, it may take hours to receive treatment. The standard treatment for a common type of stroke, caused by large clots interrupting blood flow to the brain, is a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy, or EVT. During the procedure, an experienced surgeon pilots catheters through blood vessels to the blockage, accessed through a major channel such as the femoral artery in the groin. This is typically aided by x-ray imaging, which shows the position of blood vessels.“Good outcomes are directly associated with early treatment,” says Cameron Williams, a neurologist at the University of Melbourne and fellow with the Australian Stroke Alliance. In fact, “time is brain” is a common refrain in stroke treatment. While blood flow is stopped, about 2 million neurons die each minute. Over an hour, that adds up to 3.6 years of typical age-related brain cell loss.But in remote places like Darwin, in the north of Australia, this treatment isn’t available. Instead, it could take 6 hours or more and an expensive aeromedical transfer to get a patient to a medical center, says Williams. There are similar geographical challenges to stroke treatment access all over the world. Sparing a rural patient hours of transfer time to a hospital with an on-site expert could save their life, prevent disability, or preserve years of their quality of life.That’s why there is a particular interest in the possibility of emergency stroke treatment performed remotely with the help of robotics. Machines placed in smaller population centers could connect patients to expert surgeons miles away, and shave hours off of time to treatment. Two companies have recently demonstrated their remote capabilities. In September, doctors in Toronto, Canada completed a series of increasingly distant brain angiograms, the x-ray imaging element of an EVT, eventually performing two angiograms between cross-town hospitals using the N1 system from Remedy Robotics. And in October, Sentante equipment facilitated a simulated EVT between a surgeon in Jacksonville, Florida and a cadaver with artificial blood flow in Dundee, Scotland.“All those stories connected is not only proof of concept. It’s coming to realization and implementation that robotic and remote interventions can be performed, and soon will be the reality for many centers in rural areas,” says Vitor Pereira, a neurosurgeon at Unity Health who performed the Toronto procedures.Two Approaches to Remote EVTOne challenge of performing these remote procedures is maintaining strong, fast connections at large distances. “Is there a real life need to do this transatlantically? Probably not,” says Edvardas Satkauskas, CEO of Sentante. “It demonstrates the capabilities. Even this distance is feasible.” Although performing a procedure remotely introduces issues related to latency, the pace of EVT—while urgent—is not reliant on instant reactions, says Satkauskas. Redundant connections should also be an important safeguard for dropped connections. Remedy has taken measures, for instance, to ensure that their robot monitors connection quality, and doesn’t make any harmful movements due to a poor connection, says David Bell, the company’s CEO.Though both companies are careful about disclosing details of products and research that are still in development, there are notable differences between their approaches.“Our device leans heavily on artificial intelligence,” says Bell. Machine learning is incorporated into how the Remedy device manipulates guide wires and creates an informational overlay atop x-ray images for remote physicians, who can control the robot with a laptop and software interface. The long-term goal is for a surgeon to be able to log on to Remedy software at short notice from a central location to interact with Remedy robots in multiple hospitals as needed.In contrast, Sentante uses a control console meant to look and feel like the catheters and guide wires that surgeons are accustomed to manipulating in manual EVT, including force feedback that mimics the resistance they would feel in person. “It’s very intuitive to use this,” says Ricardo Hanel, a neurosurgeon with Baptist Health in Jacksonville, who was on the piloting end of the Sentante demonstration. Naturalistic feeling in the transatlantic procedure came with reported latency around 120 milliseconds. Hanel is also on Sentante’s medical advisory board.Sentante has not yet implemented AI-assisted movements of their robot, though a plan is in place to capture as much training data as possible, both from images and force measurements. “As we joke, we had to build a sophisticated piece of hardware to become a software company,” says CEO Satkauskas. The Path to Clinical UseHanel expressed optimism that any control system would be easily learnable by surgeons. “I think the main limitation for robotics is that you are still dependent on bedside interventionists,” says Ahmet Gunkan, an interventional radiologist at the University of Arizona, who has written about robots and endovascular interventions. Depending on the system, these bedside assistants might be responsible for a variety of tasks related to preparing and communicating with the patient, sterilizing and preparing equipment, loading step-specific parts, and re-positioning x-ray or robotic equipment. Both CEOs note that while proper training will be essential, there are ways to reduce the burden on healthcare providers at the patient site.In the case of remote operations, “it was important to us that the robot could do the entire thing,” says Bell. Remedy’s system has been designed to handle as much of the procedure as possible, and streamline moments when bedside human interaction is necessary. For example, even since the older version used in Toronto, changes have been made to maintain a clean line of communication between bedside and remote clinicians, facilitated by the Remedy system, says Bell. A St. Michael’s Hospital team performs the world’s first robotic-assisted neurovascular procedure, remotely over a network connection, in Toronto, Canada on 28 August 2025. Katie Cooper and Kevin Van Paassen/Unity Health TorontoThough remote EVT is a high priority, systems capable of the procedure may first be approved for other endovascular procedures performed locally. The hope is that precision robotics leads to better patient outcomes, whether the surgeon is in the next room or the next county. Remedy has a clinical trial planned in 2026 for on-premise neurointerventions, and has partnered with the Australian Stroke Alliance to distribute their N1 system and conduct a future clinical trial for remote procedures. Eventually the robot could be used to treat as many as 30 different conditions, says Bell.Satkauskas views Sentante’s equipment as a flexible platform for endovascular procedures throughout the body, which could help keep bedside clinicians familiar with the device. The system may go to market in the EU next year for peripheral vascular interventions, which restore blood flow to the limbs, and it has a breakthrough device designation from the U.S. FDA for remote stroke treatment.There are other players in the space. For example, an early telerobotic effort from a company called Corindus is still ongoing after its acquisition by Siemens in 2019. And Pereira notes that Xcath has also demonstrated a long-distance simulated EVT and looks to perform local robotic EVT with live patients soon.“I think it’s an exciting time to be a neurointerventionalist,” says Hanel.

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.A lot of pressure is riding on autonomous vehicles to perform flawlessly—each mistake they make erodes the public’s trust and puts immense pressure on the industry to further improve safety. What will help autonomous vehicles overcome these challenges?In a study published in the October issue of IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, researchers outlined numerous ways in which explainable AI—in which questions are posed to an AI model to understand its decision-making process—can be used to pinpoint exactly when in that process the models overseeing autonomous vehicles are making mistakes. This approach could not only help passengers know when it’s necessary to take control of the vehicle and help build their trust in autonomous vehicles, but also help industry experts develop safer ones. Shahin Atakishiyev is a deep learning researcher who conducted the study as part of his postdoctoral work with the University of Alberta, in Canada. He notes that autonomous driving architecture is generally a black box. “Ordinary people, such as passengers and bystanders, do not know how an autonomous vehicle makes real-time driving decisions,” he says. But with rapidly advancing AI, it’s now possible to ask the models why they make the decisions they do. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for digging deeper into the model’s inner workings. For example, what aspects of its visual sensory data was it focusing on when it decided to brake suddenly? To what extent did time constraints affect its decision-making?Real-Time Feedback in Autonomous VehiclesIn their paper, Atakishiyev and his colleagues provide an example of how real-time feedback could help passengers detect faulty decision-making by autonomous vehicles. They point to a case study where another research group slightly altered a 35-mile-per-hour (56 kilometers per hour) speed limit sign by adding a sticker to it, elongating the middle part of the “3,” and tested Tesla Model S to see how the heads-up display of the vehicle read the altered speed limit. The vehicle read the 35-mph (56 kph) sign as an 85-mph (137-kph) sign and accelerated as it approached and passed the sign. In such a case, Atakishiyev’s team notes that if the car provides a rationale for its decision on a dashboard or user interface—for example by saying “The speed limit is 85 mph, accelerating”—in real time while approaching the speed sign, a passenger onboard could intervene and ensure the car adheres to the true speed limit. A challenge here, Atakishiyev says, is what level of information to provide to passengers, each of whom will have different preferences. “Explanations can be delivered via audio, visualization, text, or vibration, and people may choose different modes depending on their technical knowledge, cognitive abilities, and age,” he says.Whereas real-time feedback to users could help prevent disasters from happening in the moment, analyzing the decision-making process of an autonomous vehicle after it makes a mistake could also help scientists produce safer vehicles, Atakishiyev says.In their study, Atakishiyev’s team conducted different simulationsin which a deep learning model for autonomous vehicles made various decisions while driving, and the researchers asked the driving model questions about its decisions. They made sure to ask the model trick questions, which revealed instances when the model lacked the ability to explain its actions. This approach can help identify key gaps in the explanation module that need to be addressed.They also point to an existing machine learning analysis technique, called SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), that researchers can use to assess AV decision-making. After an autonomous vehicle completes a drive, a SHAP analysis involves scoring all features used in decision-making of the autonomous vehicle, to reveal which are helpful and influential (and which are not) for driving decisions. “This analysis helps to discard less influential features and pay more attention to the most salient ones,” Atakishiyev says.The researchers also discuss how explanations could help tease apart the legalities of when an autonomous vehicle hits a pedestrian. Key questions here include: Was the vehicle following the rules of the road? Once the accident occurred, did the vehicle “understand” that it hit a person and come to a full stop, as it should? Did it activate emergency functions (for example, reporting the accident to authorities and emergency services) immediately? Such questions help scientists identify faults in a model that need correcting.These tactics to understand the decision-making processes of deep learning models are gaining traction in the field of autonomous vehicles, and will presumably lead to safer roads. “I would say explanations are becoming an integral component of AV technology,” Atakishiyev says, emphasizing that explanations can help assess the operational safety of the driving by debugging the existing systems.

Fifteen years ago, when I started studying the international dating industry, few people took the subject seriously. The term "mail-order bride" was treated as a punch line—something outdated, associated with lonely men and poor women who migrated from Eastern Europe, Asia or other places to meet their new husbands in the United States.
In a 2020 research project code-named Project Mercury, Meta scientists worked with survey firm Nielsen to gauge the effect of deactivating Facebook and Instagram, according to Meta documents
