According to experts from the University of Michigan, compared to a new mid-sized SUV with an internal combustion engine, a three-year-old EV version offers lifetime savings of £9,486 ($13,000). In comparison, buying a used petrol version would only save you £2,190 ($3,000) over the car's lifetime. However, the researchers point out that this difference is primarily driven by how fast EVs lose their value compared to other power systems.

They arguably have one of the best occupations in the world. But whisky sommeliers may soon have some competition for their jobs – from AI. Scientists have devised machine learning algorithms that can determine whether a whisky is of American or Scotch origin and identify its strongest aromas. And they even outperform human experts, the results show. A whisky's aroma is determined by a complex mixture of odorous compounds, which makes it highly challenging to assess. Panels of human experts are often used to identify the strongest notes of a whisky but these require a significant investment in time, money and training – and agreement between experts is often rare.

Video games can have a positive mental health effect on people of all ages – unless you play for more than three hours a day – a study suggests. It is often believed that video gaming is bad – especially for children – with concerns it can cause issues with development and socialisation, promote violence and lead to addiction. The World Health Organization (WHO) has even labelled gaming disorder as a health condition, characterised by impaired control over gaming. But now, a study of more than 97,000 people indicates that owning a video game console and playing games can actually have a positive effect on mental well-being. Owing to a shortage of game consoles in Japan between 2020 and 2022, retailers used lotteries to assign a PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch to residents aged between 10 and 69.

Telling a well-crafted joke that hits just right might seem like it requires a uniquely human touch. But there's bad news for comedians - as researchers from the University of Southern California say that AI is now funnier than most humans. In their study, ChatGPT was able to craft punchlines that were rated funnier than human efforts 70 per cent of the time. And this isn't a laughing matter, as the researchers warn that joke-writing robots could pose a'serious employment threat' to professional comedians. So, can you tell which of these jokes were written by a robot?

The beloved elephant Osh has celebrated his 30th birthday with an assortment of delightful treats, including watermelons, popsicles, peanut butter and bran snow cones and even a personalized piñata. A recently-published study claims that the sounds of African elephants may have a lot more significance than humans think. The research, which was published in a journal called Nature Ecology and Evolution on Monday, found that African elephants call each other unique names. The study explains that researchers followed elephants around to observe how they communicated to each other, particularly by taking careful note of which elephants called out sounds and which elephants appeared to respond. The names came in the form of low rumbles, which elephants can hear from long distances.

At school there was always one pupil who seemed to excel in every subject, from maths to literature and music. Scientists call this phenomenon'general intelligence' or the'g factor' – and for the first time they've found evidence that it exists in dogs too. The researchers in Budapest, Hungary recruited over 100 dogs for various tasks, testing key skills like memory, learning and problem-solving. Rather than just excelling in one area, the smartest dogs tended to score highly across the board, just like a top student at school, they found. While the g factor in humans is linked with better academic and workplace performance in life, gifted dogs may be better able to fend for themselves or assist humans in a crisis. Just like humans, dogs excel at different tasks involving different cognitive skills, regardless of breed, the new study shows.

Every person's unique facial features may have been influenced by what their mother ate during pregnancy, a study found - with protein-rich diets leading to wider noses and jaws. Subtle differences in the way people look, from the shape of their skull to the amount of cartilage in their nose, are created in the womb by genes triggered by nutrition. The more protein that is consumed during pregnancy, the more active these genes, known as'mTORC1', become. Researchers say this can'fine-tune' a baby's facial appearance by tweaking the length of the nose and width of the nostrils, the shape of the cheeks and the prominence of the jaw. While the basic appearance of a human face is determined by the parent's genes, siblings often look quite different, and even'identical' twins are never quite the same.

Artificial intelligence (AI) could take over more than eight in 10 repetitive jobs performed by civil servants, a study has found. From processing passports to registering to vote, at least 120 million tasks across government have the potential to be automated. Every minute AI helped cut per transaction would save hundreds of thousands of hours of manual work by human staff. The Alan Turing Institute, which carried out the research, said it would free up officials from never-ending bureaucracy and spend more time dealing with the public. Last month, the Deputy Prime Minister promised AI would end'timewasting, pencil-pushing, computer-saysno' frustrations of dealing with public services.

But the days of getting stuck in congestion could be a thing of the past - if cities added a fourth colour their traffic lights. That's according to researchers from North Carolina State University, who found that delays at junctions could be reduced by more than 25 per cent by adding a'white' signal. Instead of simply stopping or going, this signal would tell autonomous vehicles to figure out their own way across while human drivers simply follow the car in front. Co-author Dr Ali Hajbabaie said: 'This improves travel time, fuel efficiency and safety for all of the cars on the road.' Scientists have proposed adding a new traffic light colour which uses autonomous vehicles to reduce traffic.
