A digital solution developed by researchers at the University of Copenhagen improves the mental health of children and young people after their parents’ divorce, according to a new study. The platform also reduces family conflict, and several Danish municipalities have already adopted it.

A review into food waste in Australia’s quick service restaurants has found order mistakes are the biggest driver of food waste, with better staff training a key part of the solution.

A new University of California San Diego study unveils the first empirical evidence that a modern artificial intelligence system can pass the Turing test — a major scientific benchmark that asks whether a machine can imitate human conversation so convincingly that people can’t reliably tell it apart from a real person. In a series of experiments, people were often unable to tell the difference between humans and advanced large language models (LLMs).

How well do language models understand Meenzerisch, the dialect spoken in the German city of Mainz? A research team has investigated this question for the first time. The study's findings, recently presented at the 2026 Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC), show that current artificial intelligence (AI) models have great difficulty understanding the dialect correctly.
